- I want more than just digital images, what do you offer?
-
In addition to digital images, we offer luxurious artwork including frames, albums, books, museum grade canvases and prints.
You may choose your size and style based upon the style and decor of your home.
- I need help selecting the best items for the walls in my house, can you help?
-
Yes! Together we measure and select the best wall art to fit your wall size and home decor.
- Can I purchase all of my images?
-
Yes, you absolutely can.
- Where are maternity and baby sessions done?
-
These sessions are done in our Glenview studio, in your home or outdoors on location.
- Where will my newborn session be?
-
We can have your newborn session in our Glenview studio complete with props, clothing, headbands, gorgeous wraps and everything a new mom and baby should need. You have access to all of our props and mother-to-be wardrobe closet!
Our Glenview studio is conveniently located in downtown Glenview, walking distance to the library, Jackman Park, Jo Donuts, Dunkin', Blended, Dairy Bar and more!
Or the session may be held in your home, which reflects the style and experience of welcoming a new baby into your life. We will discuss both of these options and choose what is closest to the vision you have for your session.
- I want to have the newborn session in the studio but I’m not sure I will be ready to leave my house.
-
I know firsthand how challenging this new experience can be. The studio is super comfortable, private and cozy. We have everything here for you and your baby. We have complimentary snacks, drinks, water and Lavazza coffee. :)
It is actually a quite relaxing experience and often preferred over home sessions (so you don't have to prepare and clean your home for your shoot.)
- I just had my new baby and can’t imagine getting in front of the camera.
-
I know just how exhausted you will be, I have been there myself and I am going to make photographing with your baby as seamless as possible. I will guide you into poses that are flattering and natural. You don't need to know how to do a thing!
- How should I dress for the session?
-
You have access to our Client Closet for your maternity session and your newborn session! In our pre-session chat, we will discuss this and many other details to craft the session around your family. The environment, the feeling of the shoot, and your attire are all very important details that contribute to beautiful portraiture.
I make many style suggestions and you are never left to plan it alone! We are in touch the entire time leading up to your session to make sure you feel beautiful and prepared.
- How long is a typical session?
-
Newborn sessions typically last about 1.5-2 hours. Maternity, baby and first birthday sessions are a little over 1 hour.
- How soon will I see proofs from my session?
-
By the time you arrive home from your session, you will have an email in your inbox from me with a time to schedule your Ordering and Reveal Session. You will be able to see your images after 72 hours of your session. Choose the soonest date and time you see available! They go quickly!
- Do you offer gift certificates?
-
Absolutely. It is a perfect gift for someone wanting to experience a session. Gift certificates are quite popular.
- Do you offer payment plans?
-
Absolutely! We are a preferred partner of Affirm and offer no interest payments. The BEST part... you receive your images the same day of your Ordering Session!
- How can I make sure my kids are smiling and have a great experience?
-
Well-rested and well-fed children are ready to play and have fun! We’ll make sure your session falls during a time when your children won’t be hungry for dinner or groggy from a nap. If they feel like the shoot is part of their natural playtime, your images will burst with energy. Enthusiastically describe the activities in the days leading up to the session. If your kids see you looking forward to the session, chances are that they will too.
- Do you have location suggestions for our session?
-
Absolutely. I suggest certain locations where I know exactly how the light falls, where, and at what time of day. Beautiful light is critical to portraiture and I know where to find it. Should you have a location in mind, we will discuss this during our pre-session chat. I am always open to new locations and will also tell you if a location will be less than ideal.
