photoshoot info

where to shoot?

there are so many places we can go! it really just depends on what you want your pictures to look like. garden? country? downtown? your home? my home? i'm open to whatever you have in mind. i want to capture moments that aren't usually captured on camera....saturday morning breakfast with dad's famous pancakes....the whole family snuggling under grandmas quilt on mom and dads bed....a family picnic in a gorgeous field....fishing and feeding the ducks at the park....the possibilities are endless.


what to wear?

wear your  f a v o r i t e  clothes! i want you to look and feel great. wear something comfortable! wear colors that will complement the room that these pictures will be hanging in. white is a color that easily looks overexposed, so keep that in mind.


what to bring?

if i'm shooting your baby...please bring their favorite toy! maybe we could get a few shots of them with it, but more importantly i want whatever makes your baby SMILE. bring a couple of changes of clothes and things to clean up spit up.
for everyone else...you can also bring a change of clothes if you wish, it's not required. if you have young children, you might want to bring some snacks or whatever will keep them happy. donuts, giant lollipops, ballon bouquets, cupcakes, etc. make for fun pictures (usually best kept until the end to squeeze out some energy after an hour long shoot). props are fun. i usually bring a couple along (a chair, pillows, blankets) but you are more than welcome to bring something along that you want in your photos. i want your photos to scream YOU! i want people (and you) to see these pictures and feel like your quirkiness and personalities were captured.


when can we shoot?

email or call me to see what i have available. mornings and late afternoons have the best light. i am available some days throughout the week, so just email me and we can nail down a time.
