Want to know about your upcoming session! 

Where We Shoot

We are constantly seeking out earthy backgrounds, urban settings and everything in between for future photo shoots. If you have a place in mind, we'd love to hear about it, as well. During your consultation, we'll discuss your session location to make sure it's the perfect fit for your personal style. 

Props and Extras

Session props can really make a session pop. With that said, we are very open to using your props. In fact, we love that idea! Incorporating elements you bring helps personalize the photographs. We can discuss these extras and props at your consultation and in the days leading up to your session.

The Process

Depending on the package you choose, we'll shoot for one or more hours on location. This includes the time it takes to set up our equipment, change outfits and move from one location to another. We'll take a lot of photographs over the course of those hours, some which will become forever favorites proudly displayed in your home. After our session, we'll go through all the photographs taken that day and choose the best ones to edit and perfect. This turnaround time typically takes two weeks. We also sometimes post a few sneak peaks on our social media pages to tide you over. We know that waiting can be the worst!

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I secure a photo session with you? 

It's super easy! All you have to do is contact me with the date you're interested in and I'll get you all set up. I do require a 25% deposit to secure the date. 

How would you describe your style? 

I like to take a natural approach to my portraits. While I do pose my clients, I do so in a way that doesn't feel forced or non-genuine. As for my editing techniques, I love clean, yet modern photographs. 

How many people are allowed in a photo session?

That depends on the portrait package you choose. I offer family portrait sessions, which allow both parents, all children and up to two pets. Because those require more coordination and work, they're a little more expensive than, say, a business portrait with one person. 

What happens if it rains or someone gets sick? 

Stuff happens, but that's OK. If the session is outdoors, we can always reschedule for another day.  As for people getting sick, etc., we can definitely reschedule. 

Will you travel outside of Massachusetts? 

Depending on my scheduling, I have no problem traveling. If it's a drivable distance, I charge a per-mile fee.

How to Make Your Session Fun & Easy:

We are going to have so much fun at your portrait session. I have a few tips and tricks for you to ensure everything goes smoothly and that we have a grand ol' time!

1. If this is a family portrait session, explain everything to your children so they're in the loop. The more aware they are of what's going on, the better.

2. Opt for genuine over cheesy. Sometimes I'll ask you to fake laugh, but you wanna know why? Because those fake laughs turn into the real thing! A genuine smile makes for great pictures, so relax and have fun!

3. Plan your entire day around the shoot. What you eat and where you go and what you have planned for that day will ultimately affect your photo shoot. I recommend nutritious food, non-stressful activities and a relatively open day with minimal obligations. 

4. Put the smart phone down during your session. 'Nuff said! And I promise I'll do the same! 

5. Don't be afraid to ask questions. I'm here to answer all your questions leading up to the shoot, during your session and even afterward. I believe in open communication!

How do you take payments? 

To book and lock in your session date, we require a25% retainer. You can do this as far in advance as you like. The remaining balance must be paid two weeks before your session day. You can pay that balance in one lump sum or send it in smaller increments over time -- whatever is easiest for you. Debit cards, and checks are accepted.

What happens if my child freaks out? 

This is a completely normal fear and we get it. Kids are unpredictable and sometimes a temper tantrum is inevitable. When this happens, we will simply take a little break, allow you to calm your child down by talking/feeding/playing and then take the appropriate steps to easing back into the session. 

Can I share the photos on social media? 

Of course. We love it when people share our photographs. We just ask that you don't crop out our logo and that you link to our webpage or blog when possible. 

Do You Give Discounts for Referrals? 

We do! If you send a client our way and they book a session, we'll provide you with either a $50 print credit or 20% off your next session package.

What should I wear to my session?

Ultimately, what you wear depends on what you're most comfortable in. If you are unsure about what's most flattering or what will go best with your location setting, don't hesitate to reach out and connect. I have lots of ideas! 

Will you come to my home?

Definitely! While most of my sessions take place on-location, we can always take photographs at your house. Do note that I prefer to photograph in a room that's extremely well lit with natural light.

How far in advance should I schedule my session?

This, of course, depends on the session type. For example, I think some of the best maternity photos are taken between the seven and eight month mark. Engagement session photos should be taken with enough time to get your photos back so that save-the-dates and/or invitations are sent out in a timely manner. Other than that, when you book is up to you!

How long does it take for me to get my proofs?

The waiting game is never any fun. For that reason, I work quickly to get your proofs to you. For larger events where lots of pictures are taken -- including weddings or corporate events -- this can take up to two months. For smaller sessions, I typically have proofs to you within two to four weeks.
What kinds of products do you offer?

I offer a whole slew of prints and products, not limited to gift and wall prints, gallery wraps, fabric and leather bound albums, invitations, cards and more. 

How many outfit and location changes can I have?

Keep in mind that the time it takes for you to change or for us to move to another location does count toward your session time. If you have a larger family or are planning for more changes, it's probably best to choose a session with a higher time allotment. If you're unsure about which package is best for you, feel free to ask! 

I have a question for you that isn't answered here.
