But What if it Rains?

A lot of clients ask me what happens if it rains during their scheduled photo session - an excellent question! First off, please know that I’m checking the weather. If I see a forecast I find worrisome, I will absolutely reach out to you! But what I really need to see is the hour-by-hour forecast, and I won’t have visibility to that until the day before.

Now a forecast is a prediction, and predictions are sometimes wrong, but if things look questionable, I’ll reach out and we’ll make a game plan together! Some families prefer to reschedule and others choose to embrace the possibility of rain. And let me just tell you, rain can be BEAUTIFUL in photos! It’s not everyone’s thing, but if you’re open to rain pics, then awesome!

Milestone Photos

Parents often ask me if I offer sessions for milestone photos. The answer is yes! I love capturing your milestones in photos, and unlike many photographers, I WANT you to get in some of the shots. I look at milestone sessions as family sessions with a focus. Young kids often need some time to warm up to the camera, so this is the perfect opportunity to take snuggly family shots!

Another question I frequently get asked is if we can take pictures of a cake smash. The answer, again, is YES! As a lifestyle photographer, I don’t provide backdrops, smash cakes, or props, but I’m happy to photograph whatever you’d like to bring. My only request is that you let me know if you plan to do a cake smash, so I make sure we allow time for it.

Now let’s skip to the good part!
