How far in advance do I need to book?
Please plan on booking at least 3-4 months in advance.
Maternity clients should start thinking about their session after the 12 week mark and get in touch with me during the 4th month of pregnancy. We will aim to schedule your session around 31-35 weeks along.
Newborn and Fresh 48 clients should also reach out early in the pregnancy during the 4th month. This allows me to make sure my schedule is clear around your due date.
Family session clients should get in touch with me during the Spring. Outdoor family sessions are done in the summer and fall only.
Seniors should get in touch during the spring of junior year. Yearbook deadlines come quickly! The majority of my schedule is filled with maternity, newborn and families but I love to take a few Senior sessions each year!
Do you offer mini/themed sessions?
I do not offer mini sessions.
I found that mini sessions prevented me from putting out my best work. Rushing and time constraints are not conducive to my artistic process. I offer full sessions only and no “themes”.
What do I wear?
I offer styling assistance with all of my sessions! I am here to help with all outfit coordinating, suggestions on where to shop (at all different price points!). For outdoor sessions we will work together to make sure your attire coordinates with your location and overall vibe. Additionally Maternity and postpartum clients are able to select gowns from my client closet.
If you can’t find anything you love in my closet for your maternity session, I recommend checking out Mama Bump Rentals, Sew Trendy, Mii Estilo, Before & Ever, Silk Fairies, Reclamation and Chicaboo.
Where do sessions take place?
Location depends on the session type.
Studio sessions take place at my studio in downtown Middleboro located at 8 Thatchers Row. Free parking can be found street side on Center st or Nickerson Ave or behind the Town Hall. There are no stairs walking into the studio so feel free to bring a stroller if needed!
Lifestyle sessions take place inside your home. There is a small travel fee for distances further than 25 miles from 02346.
Outdoor sessions will take place in Southeastern MA. I have a long list of gorgeous locations. You let me know the vibe, preferences and/or attire and I will choose the best spot taking into consideration the time of year.
When do sessions take place?
Outdoor sessions start about 60-90 min prior to sunset. Exact time will depend on the location and session type. Sunset changes throughout the year so please keep this in mind.
If we are doing a lifestyle session in your home, it will depend on when your house gets the best light- but most likely that will be late morning/mid-day.
Studio sessions are scheduled during the day (morning or afternoon). My workflow requires some ambient natural light which is why I can not schedule a studio session in the evening.
Please note that sessions are booked on weekdays only.
What if rain is in the forecast for my outdoor session?
I try not to check the weather until the day before because it can change so much. If it does show rain, I will touch base in the morning the day of and we can make a decision. If we need to reschedule I allow plenty of flexibility to get you back on my schedule within the week!
When can I see my images?
You will get a sneak peek on my social media, usually a few images on my story. Sharing is encouraged but screenshots and recording is not permitted and considered to be copyright violation. Peeks are typically shared within a few days after your session.
Final images will be available for online viewing and selection approximately 4 weeks following your session date. This does not mean your images will be available on the exact date following 4 weeks. Please allow a buffer on either side of 4 weeks for delivery and know that I will do my best to get your gallery delivered in a timely manner. Culling, retouching and creative editing is not a quick process. If for any reason there is a significant delay, I will reach out to you.
Can I bring my pet?
If you follow me on social media you know I am an animal lover!! Pets of all kinds are welcome at your outdoor or in home lifestyle session!
No pets at the studio please.
