Frequently Asked Questions
Relax! I’m sure you have a million thoughts running through your head right now, and I’m here to tell you that your child's session can be fun and stress free. My sessions are prompt led, meaning it’s less about the poses and having your child say “cheese” and more about interacting and capturing real, genuine moments with your child. And believe it or not but kids tend to leave with smiles from all the fun that was had. You will get many candid, laughing, playful photos to remember your child at this moment in time. So, stop worrying about if your child will refuse to smile, hide behind you the whole time, or throw the holy grail of tantrums because it will all be okay. If your child comes to the session uneasy, that is totally normally and also why I strive to build trust with them in a personal way. I spend the first five to ten minutes solely interacting with them in ways that let them know that the time ahead will be fun, and being only five feet tall makes me pretty un-intimidating with the littles.
What should we bring to the session?
Make sure your child has been fed before the photo session. It’s always a good idea to bring water and a non-messy snack such as marshmallows or cheerios but don’t make them the center of the session or as bribery have them only in case all else fails and they simply need a little snack.
What are the best locations for a session in Grand Forks?
I will send you a location list with information about each one after booking.
What should my child wear for their session?
You really can’t go wrong their outfit, kids are cute in pretty much anything.
What if my child is not behaving?
My sessions are designed to be fun, fast moving and very candid. I always try to get the posed pictures done first and then dedicate the rest of the session for candid photos. You will get beautiful shots from your photo session. So don’t worry about your kids, I will take care of everything.
What is included in editing?
Editing is the process of adjusting color balance, brightness, contrast, saturation, etc. Advanced retouching (such as blemish removal, skin smoothing, stray hairs etc.) is ONLY included with physical printed products purchased through me. Any additional images start out $10 each depending on the request.
When will we see our photos?
A digital download for your edited images will be sent no later then two weeks from your session date.
What types of payments do you accept?
