What to Expect from Your Photo Session

• Location Options: Sessions are available in my private Johns Creek studio, at your home, or on location.

• Pre-Session Consultation: Before your session, we can discuss location, wardrobe, styling, and any ideas you have in mind by phone, texts, or email.

• Private Gallery: Your gallery will be delivered approximately one week after your session.

• Wardrobe & Accessories: A selection of clothing and accessories for women, girls, babies, and maternity sessions is available in my studio.

• Additional Costs: Clients are responsible for permits, rentals, travel, and parking fees.

• Professional Retouching: Final images are professionally retouched in my photography style. More extensive editing requests may be available for an additional fee. (makeup, hair, body/clothing adjustments, background changes).

Preparing for Your Session

Fall Photoshoots

• Textures: Incorporate flannel, wool, denim, lace, or velvet. Accessories such as blankets, hats, scarves, and jewelry can add beautiful layers and texture.

• Colors: Avoid matching too closely. Use a mix of patterns and solids with neutral tones for balance. Avoid large logos, busy patterns, and texts on clothing.

 Children’s Photoshoots

• Before the Session: Make sure your child is rested, hydrated, and fed. Morning sessions are generally best for babies and toddlers. Please share your child’s nap schedule in advance.

• Comfort Items: Bring snacks, drinks, favorite toys, and any fun props you would like to include.

• Preparation: Talk to your child and explain the session to your child ahead of time, especially if they are unfamiliar with professional photography. Talk about their outfit and what to expect. Look at the mirror together and smile.

• Realistic Expectations: Some children may need extra time to warm up, and not every child will smile on command. Parents are responsible for supervising their children throughout the session.

General Tips for All Sessions

• Punctuality: Please arrive on time or a few minutes early. Outdoor sessions are generally scheduled approximately 1.5 hours before sunset or about 1 hour after sunrise.

• Late Fees: Please arrive on time so we can make the most of your scheduled session. A late fee of $1 per minute applies for the first 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the late fee is $50. Sessions will be canceled after 30 minutes of tardiness, and the reservation fee will remain non-refundable.

• Clothing: Wear clean, wrinkle-free clothing. Bring plain tan, white, or black undergarments when appropriate, and coordinate family outfits rather than matching exactly. For personalized styling advice, I can recommend a professional stylist.

• Grooming: Hydrate your skin and lips, trim nails, and avoid overly bold nail polish unless it is part of your desired look. Bring a hairbrush and arrive with your hair styled. Makeup artists offering client discounts are available upon request.

• Before and during the Session: Avoid colorful foods, drinks, and markers before the session to help keep clothing clean.

• Photos & Video: Please do not take photos or record video during the session unless we have discussed it in advance.

• Extra Time: If additional time is needed because a child requires a longer warm-up period, extended session time may be available for $100 per additional 30 minutes.

Payment & Policies

• Payment: A reservation fee is required to secure your session date and time. The reservation fee is non-refundable and will be applied toward your total session balance. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of the session, unless another arrangement has been made in advance. Additional images, upgrades, rush editing, travel fees, permit fees, or other optional services are charged separately when applicable.

• Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy:  If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, please provide as much notice as possible. Reservation fees are non-refundable. Re-scheduling may be accommodated based on availability when sufficient notice is provided. Cancellations or repeated rescheduling may require a new reservation fee to secure another date.

• Props: Clients are responsible for any damage to studio props, wardrobe items, accessories, or equipment used during the session.

• Rates: Session rates and package pricing are subject to change without notice. Pricing confirmed at the time of booking will be honored for that scheduled session.

       Questions?
If you have any questions before your session, please feel free to contact me. I’m happy to help with wardrobe, locations, timing, or anything else you need to prepare.

I look forward to creating something beautiful with you.
See you in front of the camera!
