QUESTIONS
You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images easily within a few weeks of your session.
When will we receive our images?
If the weather isn’t ideal, we’ll reschedule. Flexibility is built in so sessions stay enjoyable and low-stress.
What happens if the weather doesn’t work out?
If you’re able to, try to feed your baby shortly before the session begins so they’re comfortable and sleepy. Breaks are expected, and these sessions are designed to move at your baby’s pace. Here are a few helpful things to have nearby:
– Diapers and wipes
– Bottles or feeding supplies
– A pacifier, if your baby uses one
– An extra outfit for baby, and possibly one for you
How can I prepare my newborn for a session?
Sessions typically last about an hour. That gives us time to settle in without feeling rushed, and keeps things manageable for little ones.
How long is a session?
Sessions can take place outdoors around Huntsville and surrounding areas, or my indoor studio depending on the session type and season. We can also shoot at your home, it’s totally up to you! Some of my favorite places to shoot around Huntsville include the Botanical Garden, Hays Nature Preserve, Historic Downtown, and Delano Park. I’ll help you choose a location that fits the feel you’re going for.
Where do sessions take place?
I’ll share guidance once you’re booked, but the short answer is something comfortable, neutral, and familiar. For group shoots, coordinating beats matching every time.
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
That’s completely fine. Sessions are designed with kids in mind, and there’s no expectation for perfect behavior. We work with whatever happens, and often the messy moments are the ones we find make the memorable shots.
