Sessions

Our sessions are NEVER rushes, and normally take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.  With the exception of Newborn, Children, Seniors, and large group sessions, for these will usually schedule atleast 1 1/2 hours or more.  The more people there are in the studio, the more distracted children tend to become.  Therefore it is recomended that only those who are to be photographed be in studio, plus an additional support person. 

If you are scheduling a large group session please note that we will at no additional charge, photograph the group as well as each individual family.  After the group we will start photographing the family with the youngest children.  We understand that not all participants will be purchasing these images however there will be someone, usually Grandparents, who would like to have an image of each family. 

General Clothing Suggestions
SIMPLE-by staying simple the focus is on you and not on what you are wearing.
Avoid heavy patterns and logos.
Coordinate clothing, such as all lighter tones or all darker tones.  "Matching' is not necessarey, just stay within the same color range for a natural cohesive look.
Outdoor

Wear what you are comfortable in.  If you don't like suits it will show in your pictures.  It is best though to stay away from bold prints, & go for coordinating colors.  No one should stand out more than anyone else in the portrait.  Think of the season when doing an outdoor photo session. 
We LOVE to shoot bare feet when ever possible.
Expecting moms can bring a special toy that baby will be receiving when they are born, or maybe the outfit baby will come home in.  The simpler the clothing the better, the focus is on your miracle of life.
