in-home prep guide
Thanks so much for allowing us the honor of creating beautiful photos for you.
Our style is photo journalistic, we capture playful images, snuggling, being goofy, and just loving on each other.
All in-home sessions are taken place from 9am until 2pm for the best light. You will be asked what time of day the best light is coming through your windows.
All sessions are for IMMEDIATE FAMILY ONLY
in-home lifestyle
Try to have a few rooms clean and without clutter. Master bedroom and a room with a couch is a good start, for newborns also their nursery. The more places that are clean the more areas we can explore for photographs.
For bedroom photographs consider having a white bedspread/blanket. White helps bounce light onto people's faces and keeps your images brighter.
Think about one activity you might want to do ex. making hot chocolate, reading books, listening to music...
When we first get to your home, we will take a look around to check out all of the rooms we plan on shooting in as well as if we need to scoot any furniture around.
Lifestyle sessions are for families who want a more relaxed atmosphere while capturing life as it is now.
Elements of your home will be the background of your photos.

Find a color palette that you love and choose outfits that compliment each other without looking too matchy-matchy.
We always suggest that the woman choose an outfit she feels confident and beautiful in. Then plan the color palette and everyone else's outfits from there.
If you have a fun patterned outfit you would like to use, limit it to one person. That way they will pop and still coordinate with everyone else. Multiple patterns can look busy, and this way they won't be competing with one another.
Add dimension and interest by mixing up the texture of the clothing material and accents.
Keep our backdrop in mind when choosing your clothing. If we are on a beach, aim to dress in clothes that are light and flowing. If we are surrounded by fall leaves, layering in great textures is a great option.
Here is our Pinterest Board that we are always adding to and updating.
after our session
In regards to your photos, as we sort through all of the images from our session, we choose to edit the ones that best represent you. We love to give you the images where there are beautiful expressions, and priceless moments being captured. While we do not edit and/or share every image from our session, we do strive to deliver the best photo(s) of each pose.
We will aim to have your gallery portraits edited and ready within 2 - 3 weeks of our session. You will receive your photos on a personalized, password protected, online gallery. This allows for the quickest delivery of the images, for you to easily view and share your photos.
From there you are welcome to order print products through us, or you can create prints with your own preferred lab. You have full printing rights to these digital images. We suggest a professional lab and not Drug Store quality.
