All sessions require a $40 deposit, which will be applied towards the package of your choice. $40 will be collected at the time of your photo session. Seniors: payment is due in full at time of session. Weddings: there is a contract and $150 deposit required for booking.
Note: If a package is not purchased within 45 days of your photo session, your $40 fee will not be applied to your package and exhausted.

3) Suggestions on what to wear?
I always suggest to not where zig/zags, to loud of colors, bad plaids, sleeveless tops, shorts. You are getting your portrait, you want to be dressed nicely. Families: please try to dress alike in matching colors. Babies and their siblings, also try to dress alike with color coordinating.
4) How long will this take?
Sessions last anywhere from 1/2 hour to 1 hour and half. It depends on if there is a baby present? Or a child who just does not want to participate. I will wait until your child or baby gets comfortable to get their photo taken. So parents, I'm sure you can be patient.
5) What is involved in Newborn Photography?
Plan on being in the session for a few hours - these sessions are based on babies ... the best photos are of the baby sleeping ... sometimes these sessions can go for 2-3 hours. It really depends on the baby.
Tip: try to make sure the baby is sleepy when you bring her/him
Tip: try to make sure baby is fed, this saves some time
You may bring hats, blankets, toys, clothing changes
6) Do you charge to purchase or make a payment online?
Yes, there is a processing fee. When you check out this fee will say 'postage' and NOT 'processing' and will be added to your order. Please refer to the following:
$1 - $65 = $2.00
$66 - $100 = $3.00
$101 - $150 = $5.00
$151 - $200 = $6.00
$201 - $300 = $9.00
