Is there an age requirement?

Your child must be able to sit on their own and have good head control.

​

What should my child wear?

More is less in these sessions - the photos will be all about capturing your child's precious little personality and all their expressions! I recommend a simple light colored top without logos or patterns. In my opinion, off-white photographs best, but if you don't have that, no worries, a solid colored light shirt will be great!. If your child is wearing a bow or any headpiece, I recommend choosing a contrasting color to their hair - dark haired children choose a light color and vice versa! 

​

Here are some links to my favorites: 

• Simple white collard shirt 

• Round neck polo

• Short sleeve linen shirt

• Knit sweater

• Mixed knit sweater

• Flare sleeve dress

​

Another recommendation I have - if your child has dark hair, wear a light colored top, but if they have light hair, wear a darker colored top. This helps with contrast in the black and white edits nicely!

​

How does it work?​

As a mama of a 3 year old toddler (who I practice on daily!) I have lots of prompts and props up my sleeve to bring out lots of expressions - this is honestly my favorite part of being a photographer! I use external lighting gear and a plain white back drop for these sessions. I'll ask that your child sit on the floor or, if they can, on a little wooden stool.  

​

Before the session I will send you a questionnaire asking you some questions about your child so I can give them a personalized experience! Examples include their favorite cartoon characters, noises, animals, etc.! 

​

You will receive at least 10 black + white digital images, but I find it hard to choose favorites and am a generous gallery giver :) ​

​

How can I prepare?

Talk to your kiddo(s) about the upcoming session and try to help them get excited about being silly - you can even practice silly faces all week long! 

​

I would also recommend to bring wipes and a comb for their hair - ya never know :) 

​

If your child has a runny nose or lots of boogies, please do you best to clean it before the session as we all know as parents cleaning a yucky nose out can be uncomfortable or undesirable and may upset them! Of course, we will take breaks to wipe as needed :) 

​

What if I have multiple children?

One slot is for one child only. You will need to book a separate time slot for each child - however, there is special pricing for multiples:

 

2 children: $600

3 children: $800

4+ children: please contact me to discuss

​

Are there special packages for multiple times thru the year?

I would love to discuss that with you, please send me an inquiry :)  

​

Can I purchase the color images?

I do not offer color images at this time. ​

​

What is the parent(s) role during the session?

Your main role is to be encouraging and engaged during the session :) You know your toddler best, if you're into it, they'll be into it! So, I may ask you to be silly behind me, make faces, give me bunny ears, make noises - I promise you I will give 110%, but sometimes mom + dad are the best triggers! 

​

What is the location?

For pop-up style sessions, I will host these in my home in Frisco or at a local natural light studio. There will be an additional $75 charge added to the session fee for ad-hoc bookings.

​

When will I get the photos back?

I strive to get all my galleries out in 7 business days, however, if I cannot make that target I will communicate with you so you know what to expect. 
 

Can I have the RAW files?

I do not provide the RAW files under any circumstances.

​

Any other prep recommendations?

I highly recommend you bring snacks (I didn't say bribes, but you can do that if you want hehe :) and water.
