Frequently Asked Questions

Can we bring our pets?

I love pets! Just be aware that someone will likely need to be holding them or have them on a leash throughout our session. I always suggest bringing along a friend or relative who can hold them if you’d like any pictures without them.

What should we wear?

I am more than happy to help you choose outfits. I have a Family Session Style Guide that should point you in the right direction. And of course you can always text me photos of your outfits and ask for my advice!

how long is the session?

Family sessions typically last 45 minutes to 1 hour. This gives us enough time to walk around to a few different spots and get some more spontaneous photos along the way.

What if it rains?

We live in Portland and the weather is rarely predictable! I always embrace moody clouds and I will brave a few sprinkles during a family session. If the weather is looking particularly awful, your deposit will be transferred to another date and we can reschedule our session.

What time of day is best for photos?

I always love late afternoon and early evening when the sun is low and the light is beautiful. If morning works better for everyone, great! The morning light is also perfect for photos.

What if we have to Reschedule the session?

Your deposit will be transferred to an alternative date. If you need to reschedule your session, I ask that you let me know as soon as possible so I can plan accordingly.
