WHERE?  I shoot exclusively on location using only natural lighting... your home, a park, your favorite hang-out.  

I will arrive a few minutes before our session to determine where the best lighting will be.   

THE SESSION:  Sessions typically run between 1-2 hours so prepare accordingly (snacks, favorite blankie, etc.)  This will give you and your child time to become comfortable with me and my camera, have a break or some TLC.  I never want you to feel rushed and it should never feel stressful.   

WHAT TO WEAR?  Clothing is a very important component of the photographs.  Simple is the way to go, bring one light solid top and one dark! Jeans or jean skirts always work. But...if your child runs around in their tutu, cowboy hat or dad’s boots....bring them. Please try and avoid wording or logos on the clothing.   I do prefer bare feet but if shoes are necessary keep them comfortable and once again simple.  Hair bows, jewelry and accessories should also be simple to help preserve that timeless feel.   The more natural the better.  I would be happy to help you figure out what would work best. 

NEWBORN SESSIONS:  I prefer to capture newborns as early as possible (new-3 wks).  Bloomers, blankets or birthday suit is the preferred attire for these little ones.  I want them to look as natural as possible.
