Frequently asked questions
Everything you might be wondering before your session. Don't see your question? Just ask in your inquiry.
What should we wear?
Coordinate, don't match! Pick two or three colors that go together and build from there. Soft neutrals, earthy tones and simple textures photograph beautifully up here. Try to skip big logos, busy patterns and neon colors.
Not sure? Send me photos of a few options and I'm happy to help you choose.
Where do sessions take place?
Most sessions happen outdoors around Outing and northern Minnesota: lakes, fields, woods and gravel roads. Your home or a spot that means something to you works too. Travel within 30 miles of Outing is included; beyond that it's $0.50/mile roundtrip.
What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
I keep an eye on the forecast, and if rain, wind or bitter cold would ruin the session, we'll reschedule for the next good day at no extra cost. A little overcast is actually lovely light, so a cloudy day isn't a reason to cancel.
How long until I get my photos?
Your edited gallery is usually ready within [2-4 weeks] of your session. Weddings take a little longer, around [8-12 weeks]. Premium sessions include priority editing, so they come back sooner.
How will I receive my photos?
You'll get a private online gallery where you can view, download and share your edited photos, and easily send them to family.
Can we bring our kids or pets?
Absolutely. Real, wild and a little messy is what I love to capture. Pets are welcome too; it helps to bring an extra person along to hold the leash between shots.
My kids won’t sit still. Is that okay?
Totally okay! I'm a mom of three wild & free kids myself, so I get it. We'll keep things relaxed, take breaks when needed, and let them be themselves. Some of the best photos happen in between the posed ones.
How do I book, and is there a deposit?
Send an inquiry through the booking form and I'll reply with availability. A $50 non-refundable deposit secures your date. Weddings require a 50% non- refundable deposit. If my services are no longer needed, the deposit becomes a credit toward a future session.
