Booking & Sessions
For weddings, we recommend booking 8–12 months in advance to secure your date. For family and maternity sessions, 4–6 weeks ahead is usually perfect.
Once you book, we'll schedule a pre-session consultation to discuss your vision. We'll handle location scouting, send you a personalized style guide, and then we'll have a wonderful session day. Your finished gallery will be delivered within 3 weeks.
Session lengths depend on the collection: mini sessions are 20 minutes, family sessions run 1 to 3 hours, senior sessions 1 to 3 hours, maternity sessions 1 to 2 hours, and wedding coverage ranges from 4 to 10+ hours.
No worries at all! We reschedule at no extra cost. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, we can embrace the rain for dramatic, moody shots that are absolutely stunning.
What to Wear & Prepare
Coordinate, don't match! Stick with soft textures and complementary tones. Avoid large logos, neon colors, and busy patterns. After booking, we'll send you a detailed style guide with outfit inspiration tailored to your session.
Absolutely! Candid moments are the best moments. We work with their energy and let their personality shine through. Some of our favorite images come from the in-between, unscripted moments.
The sweet spot is between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round and you're still comfortable enough to enjoy the session.
Bring 1–2 outfit changes, any personal items or props that are meaningful to you, and snacks and water for little ones. We'll cover the rest!
