Your Questions Answered
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?
I recommend reaching out as soon as you know you’d like a session, especially if you have a particular season or timeframe in mind. My calendar is intentionally limited so I can give each family plenty of care and attention.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR FOR PHOTOS?
There really isn’t a wrong time! Spring and fall are beautiful and popular, while summer gives us gorgeous greenery and warm evenings. I’m happy to help you choose a season that fits the look you’re dreaming of.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
I’m based in Utah and photograph families, mothers, babies, and expecting mamas throughout the surrounding area.
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR SESSIONS?
Yes! I’m always happy to discuss traveling for your session. Depending on the location, an additional travel fee may apply.
HOW DO WE CHOOSE A LOCATION?
You don’t have to figure that out alone! I have favorite locations I’ve carefully chosen for their beautiful light and scenery, and we’ll talk through which one best fits your family and vision.
CAN WE CHOOSE A LOCATION THAT IS MEANINGFUL TO OUR FAMILY?
Absolutely. If you have a special location in mind, send it my way! I’ll take a look at the lighting, accessibility, photography restrictions, and other details to determine whether it will work well for your session.
DO YOU OFFER STUDIO SESSIONS?
Yes. When a studio is the best fit for your session, I can recommend beautiful natural-light studio options. Studio rental fees may be additional.
HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION WITH YOU?
The first step is simply reaching out through my contact form! Once I receive your inquiry, I’ll walk you through availability, session options, and everything you need to know to officially get your date on my calendar.
CAN I BOOK A SESSION AS A GIFT?
Absolutely! A photography session can make such a meaningful gift for a mother, expecting mama, grandparent, or family.
WILL YOU PHOTOGRAPH SESSION'S INSIDE CLIENT'S HOMES?
Depending on the session and lighting in your home, absolutely! In-home sessions can be especially meaningful for newborn and motherhood sessions.
WHAT IF I WANT AN IMAGE EDITED DIFFERENTLY?
Please reach out! I want you to love your finished photographs. Depending on the request, minor adjustments may be possible.
CAN YOU USE OUR PHOTOS ON YOUR WEBSITE OR SOCIAL MEDIA?
Your Questions Answered
DO YOU HAVE A CLIENT WARDROBE?
Yes! I have client wardrobe options available for select sessions, and I’m happy to help you find something that photographs beautifully!
If I don't have something you like in my wardrobe, I can recommend options for purchase.
CAN WE WEAR PATTERNS?
Yes! and actually I recommend it! Although, I does need to be in moderation. A soft floral or subtle pattern can add beautiful interest. I usually recommend having only one or two people in patterns and keeping everyone else more simple.
WHAT IF MY CHILD IS SHY?
That’s completely okay. I’ll give them time to warm up and never expect them to perform for the camera. My goal is to not even have them know the camera is there. It's just "normal family time."
HOW SHOULD I WEAR MY MAKEUP?
I recommend looking like yourself—just slightly polished! Natural makeup tends to photograph beautifully and keeps your images timeless.
SHOULD I GET MY HAIR AND MAKEUP DONE PROFESSIONALLY?
It isn’t required, but if having your hair or makeup professionally done helps you feel beautiful and relaxed, it can be a wonderful addition to the experience.
SHOULD I SKIP NAPTIME SO MY BABY WILL SLEEP BETTER AFTERWARD?
Definitely not! A well-rested little one is usually much happier during photos. Keep your normal routine as much as possible.
SHOULD I FEED MY KIDS BEFORE THE SESSION?
Yes! Hungry children—and hungry parents—are rarely happy ones. A meal or snack beforehand can make the entire experience smoother.
WHAT DO WE WEAR FOR OUR PHOTOS?
It's simple. Think soft, light, and coordinated rather than perfectly matching. Creams, whites, soft neutrals, pastels, and gentle colors photograph beautifully with my light-filled editing style. But, don't stress about this at all. I will personally guide you.
WHAT IF IM NERVOUS ABOUT HOW I'LL LOOK IN THE PHOTOS?
I’ll gently guide you into flattering positions and help you feel comfortable so you can focus on loving your family.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE MY KIDS?
Keep it positive and low-pressure. Rather than telling them they need to smile or behave perfectly, tell them you’re going somewhere fun to play together and take some pictures!
WHAT IF I WANT AN IMAGE EDITED DIFFERENTLY?
Please reach out! I want you to love your finished photographs. Depending on the request, minor adjustments may be possible.

Your Questions Answered
WILL YOU TELL US HOW TO POSE?
Generally I steer away from stiff posing. But, there's absolutely no need to worry! I will gently guide and prompt the entire session.
ARE YOUR SESSIONS FULLY CANDID?
Not fully Candid. I always give you enough direction to create beautiful compositions, but then I’ll encourage movement and interaction so the photographs still feel genuine.
HOW LONG ARE THE SESSIONS?
I don’t put a strict time limit on my sessions. I want our time together to feel relaxed and unhurried - not like we’re watching the clock. Every family and every little one is different, so we’ll take the time we need to create beautiful images.
WHAT IF MY BABY CRIES?
Babies cry! We can pause for feeding, soothing, cuddles, or diaper changes whenever needed.
WHAT IF WE ARE AWKWARD?
You would be surprised how often I hear this! You don’t need any experience in front of a camera. Helping you feel comfortable is part of my job.
CAN I SEND YOU A PINTEREST BOARD?
You’re welcome to share inspiration with me! I won’t recreate another photographer’s work exactly, but it can help me understand what you’re drawn to.
WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?
I keep a close eye on the forecast leading up to outdoor sessions. If conditions truly aren’t suitable, we’ll talk through our options and reschedule when necessary.
WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
My work is light-filled, natural, soft, and true-to-color, with an emphasis on genuine connection and the little moments that make your family yours.
WHAT IF IT'S WINDY?
A little movement in hair and dresses can actually be gorgeous! If the wind is extreme enough to negatively affect your experience, we’ll discuss our options.
WHAT IF IT RAINS UNEXPEDEDLY?
We’ll make the best decision based on the situation. Sometimes a passing shower clears quickly, while other times rescheduling makes more sense.
WHAT IF I WANT AN IMAGE EDITED DIFFERENTLY?
Please reach out! I want you to love your finished photographs. Depending on the request, minor adjustments may be possible.
