Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What should I (we) wear for our session?
A. First of all comfort is important--if you, your significant other, the kids are not comfortable---no one will be happy about getting pictures taken. Also this is important, these pictures are something you want to "show off"...keep forever---so take the time & effort to choose something that suits you & the style you want your pictures to "speak" for you.
Finding that idea or perfect outfit(s) can be tough...but it doesn't have to be. Here is the link to my Pinterest page FILLED with ideas{ What to Wear Guide}--so just click & see!!
2. What does "On Location" mean?
2. What does "On Location" mean?
A. On location refers to the fact that I am a natural light photographer...so 90% of my sessions are done outdoors. You & I will work together to choose the perfect location for your session. I currently do not have or offer studio space, so if you are looking for a indoor session--consider a Lifestyle session in your own home--it can be a wonderful & cherished experience to incorperate your home into your pictures.
3. What if bad weather is predicted for the day of our session?
A. I will only look at the weather the day prior, weather in MI changes so frequently.
If there is a 50% or greater chance of rain, snow, sleet, or high winds or temps below 30 degrees...we will reschedule your session for the next available date.
4. How long before we will see our pictures?
A. My turn around time for your pictures is 2 weeks, don't worry I will post Sneak Peeks on my Facebook page during that time. Feel free to Tag yourself & share with family & friends---just PLEASE, do not try & copy the picture from FB (the pic will be a low res. image with my logo), also if you would like to use them as a profile pic or timeline pic--try not to crop out my logo.
