You may ask...

What if my kids don't behave (meaning my kids are normal)?

I'd much rather photograph slightly naughty kids than stiff, stressed out ones with cheesy smiles.  The best sessions are when parents let go and are present in the moment with their kids. Remember, during your session, your children and hubby are the most wonderful human beings you've ever seen, and they can do no wrong.  I want to capture that amazement, respect, and excitement that everyone has for each other (but sometimes we forget.)  However, if you're not happy with our session, we may suggest rescheduling or other options.

Not feeling my best self, maybe I should wait until...?

Your family loves you just the way you are!  They deserve to have nice memories of you at this time in your life. If you are worried, we can do strategic posing to help flatter you and make you look amazing!  And if you'd like a little extra retouch on your favorites, we'll see what we can do 😉

What if I just want pictures of the kids or milestone photos?

Of course!  The packages are based on time so just select the session based on the amount of time you would like and let me know when signing up who all will be photographed.  And just a heads up - if you're considering a "just the kids" shoot, I'll try very hard to talk you and Dad into being in the photos too 😉
