These sessions take place in the comfort of your home, creating a relaxed and stress-free experience. I’ll provide soft, neutral wraps for your newborn, and we’ll spend up to 90 minutes capturing the sweet, fleeting moments—tiny details, cozy snuggles, and the love that fills this new chapter of your life.

1. Where will our session take place?

I offer sessions in a variety of locations, depending on the type of session and the look you’re going for. For outdoor sessions, I can recommend beautiful parks, nature reserves, or urban spots around Minneapolis that provide the perfect backdrop. If you prefer a cozy and intimate setting, in-home sessions are a great option—especially for newborns and lifestyle portraits. I’m also happy to shoot at a meaningful location of your choice, whether it’s your favorite park, a family cabin, or a special spot that holds sentimental value. Let’s chat about what fits your vision best!

2. how far in advance should i schedule a session?

I recommend booking your session as early as possible to ensure availability, especially during peak seasons like spring and fall. For family and portrait sessions, booking 4–6 weeks in advance is ideal. Newborn sessions should be reserved before your baby arrives, typically during the second trimester, so we can plan for a session within the first two weeks after birth. If you need a last-minute session, feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate you!

3. What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Session fees are non-refundable but may be applied toward a future session if canceled at least 48 hours in advance. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the session will forfeit the session fee.

If you need to reschedule due to illness, weather, or unforeseen circumstances, please let me know as soon as possible. One complimentary reschedule is allowed, subject to availability.

For outdoor sessions, if the weather does not allow us to shoot, we can reschedule at no additional charge.

If you do not show up for your session without prior notice, the session fee is non-refundable, and a new booking will be required for a future session.

4. Do you offer digital files, prints, or wall art?

Yes! I offer a variety of options to help you preserve and display your photos. All sessions include the option to purchase high-resolution digital images, as well as professional-quality prints and wall art. From framed prints to canvas wraps, I provide beautifully crafted products that turn your memories into lasting keepsakes. After your session, you’ll have the opportunity to choose the package that best fits your needs!

5. what should we wear for our session?

I recommend wearing neutral or earthy tones with minimal patterns for a timeless and cohesive look. Soft colors, pastels, and muted tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you and your connections. Avoid clothing with large logos, bright neon colors, or overly busy patterns, as they can be distracting in photos.

For families, coordinating (rather than matching) outfits creates a natural and visually appealing look. Layering textures and incorporating subtle accessories can also add depth to your images. Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident! If you need help choosing outfits, I’m happy to provide guidance or inspiration.

6. How can we ensure our session goes smoothly?

Children take their cues from their parents, so if you’re relaxed and having fun, they will be too! Instead of worrying about everything going perfectly, focus on being present with your family—playing, laughing, and embracing the little moments. The more you enjoy the experience, the more natural and heartfelt your photos will be. Let go of expectations, trust the process, and I’ll take care of capturing the magic!

7. Can our pets be part of the session?

Yes! Pets are welcome to be part of your session as long as they have good recall and are well-behaved in new environments. If you are bringing your pet, please let me know in advance so we can choose a pet-friendly location. It’s also helpful to bring someone who can assist with your pet when they’re not in photos, as well as having treats or a favorite toy on hand. Let me know in advance so we can plan for a smooth and enjoyable session!

8. How long does it take to get our photos?

Photos are typically ready within two weeks or less. I carefully edit each image to ensure they look their best, and once they’re ready, you’ll receive a link to your online gallery where you can view, download, and purchase prints or products.
