Quick Tips

 

What to wear

We get asked this question a lot, and rightly so. Aside from choosing your photographer, your wardrobe selections will be what most greatly impact the look of your images. But fear not! Outfits, locations, style of photos, how to match your session to your home decor, and more, are all things we’ll cover at your pre-session consult. For some great tips to get you thinking please check out 8 tips for styling your family portraits by our good friend and style blogger Marisa Zerby.

Session Prep

Make sure everyone is well rested, and well fed. Relax and enjoy! Children can sense stressful energy and often react against it making for a difficult session. If a child is not feeling well, it’s better to reschedule. If the plan is to meet at a park, then make sure to bring snacks, a drink, and even wet wipes! The session is the fun part, so be prepared to laugh and have a great time.

Deposit & Rescheduling Policy

To reserve your session date, a $100 deposit is required. This deposit is non-refundable in the event of a cancellation. We understand that unexpected things can come up—if illness or an emergency prevents you from keeping your session, we’re happy to work with you to reschedule. If we’re unable to find a new date that works, we’ll refund your deposit. We’re also able to offer a one-time date change with at least 72 hours’ notice, pending availability. Thank you for understanding—we truly appreciate your support and can’t wait to work with you!

Custom Products

We have a great selection of custom products to suit every style and decor, available to purchase from any session you do. For display on the wall we have gorgeous canvas gallery wraps and beautiful custom framing. For a keepsake collection of images choose one of our extremely popular album options or the versatile Portfolio Box. From a classic framed wall collection, to a one-of-a-kind custom designed Art Book, there is something for everyone! Other offerings include premium prints, custom announcements, personalized mobile apps, and more!

Canvas Prints

Gallery wrapped canvas prints are our most popular offering. Portraits are printed on fine art canvas and wrapped around cuctom made stretcher frame for a clean, gallery style look. Ready to hang upon arrival, enjoy instant gratification coupled with life long memories in each museum quality image.

Albums

From our large 10×10 art book to our smaller 8×8 photobook, there is something for ever style and taste. The art book has a beautiful, must-be-seen, multiple glove leather cover, heavy weight textured art paper pages, and a fun collage layout style. The photobook comes with a wraparound photo cover and one image printed per page for a clean, portfolio style look.

Custom framing

We have a wide selection of beautiful framing available for your images. From simple, sleek, and modern moldings, to the more classic or ornate, we have something to suit every photo and style of decor! Custom matting is available too. All framing comes ready to hang on your wall to enjoy for generations!
