DC Family & Newborn Photography FAQ

Your home!  That's right, no wrangling kids into the car or making sure you bring all the snacks and changes of clothes. Plus – it's always the perfect temperature!

You have everything you need at home! And let's be honest, everyone is the most comfortable at home. And we can do a few pictures on your porch or backyard if the weather and light is right.

I do a limited number of outdoor sessions each year. Make sure you're on my NEWSLETTER LIST!

Most of the houses I photograph in aren’t professionally decorated and it doesn’t make a bit of difference. I promise. The focus is YOU, not your home.

I even photographed families in homes with moving boxes everywhere!

Keep things neutral and light. Add some textures to give interest and depth.

Once you book a session, you'll get my Session Prep Guide with what to wear tips! You can also take a look at my Pinterest Board for some inspiration.

I'll be honest, they might.  They are kids and kids have meltdowns and don't listen and sometimes misbehave, but it's NO BIG DEAL!

I'm a mom of three and a former elementary school teacher, so leave handling the kids up to me! I have lots of tricks and games to keep things fun and your job? To laugh and smile and love on your kids throughout the session. Just let your kids be kids!

A word of advice – skip the bribes. I know it seems like a good idea, but it usually fails.  

If you have windows and a front door, you have light! It's my job to find the light.

I typically get a few pictures with everyone looking at the camera and smiling at the beginning of the session, but a session with me involves movement and snuggles and looking at the ones you love! And laughter...a lot of laughter!

Call me! I'm a mom. I get it. You don't want pictures of your sick child. We'll reschedule the session as soon as everyone is healthy!
