Have questions?...I've got answers!

When do I need to make my appointment?
*I'm a very busy mom to three little boys, so in order to keep my family first, I only accept so many appointments per week. Therefore, my calendar gets booked up quickly. So, to make sure you get the date you want...it's best to schedule about three to six months in advance!

Do you take Saturday appointments?
*I usually shoot during the week at five p.m. or after (depending on the circumstance and the lighting). I keep my Saturdays open for weddings and engagement sessions only. I understand that may not be the most convenient thing for you, but weekends are the only time I have with my hubby. So, if I don't happen to have a wedding or engagement session, I'm going to spend my time with my family.

Where do you take the pictures?
*I prefer outside pictures, but I do have a small studio in my home for sessions with infants and children. I can come to you or you can come my way. Travel fees may apply to locations outside of the Fort Wayne - Van Wert areas.

What should we wear?
* There is no wrong outfit, you can wear whatever you want! You can bring more than one outfit (usually up to three clothing changes). The only thing I suggest to stay away from is bib overalls on babies..although they are cute, they tend to bunch up.

Do you have any specials for a baby's first year?
* If you come to me three times in your baby's first year (such as newborn, six months, and one year), you will receive your third session for FREE!!

When do we pay for the session?
* Payment is due at the time of the session.

We had our pictures taken, what's the next step?
* There will be a preview of your session on my blog in a week, but it takes a bit longer to get the entire session edited and ready for print. I try and get them finished as soon as possible, but I only get to edit at night when the kiddies are in bed, so I ask for at least three weeks. Once they are fully edited, I will post a password protected gallery of your images on my website. From there you can order professional prints , canvases, and other merchandise, all of which get mailed directly to you!!

How many pictures will be in our gallery?
* Every session is unique, which means the number of pictures you receive may vary from others. You can expect the minimum to be twenty-five portraits.

I don't see one of the poses that you took, why wasn't it included?
* It amazes me that you can remember all of the different things we did (you must have had so much fun, you couldn't get me out of your head.lol)! But, you can rest assured, if I didn't include a specific pose, it's because it didn't meet my standards of awesomeness! Plus, I have to put a limit on the number of images I edit, therefore, some just don't quite make it through.

How long will our gallery be up?
*Family, children, baby, and engagement sessions will be posted for four weeks. Weddings will be posted for three months. (There is a $50 fee to re-upload your gallery after it expires).

Can we purchase the copyright to our images?
*Yes, you can purchase the entire session with copyright for an additional $200 ($800 for weddings). If you only want the copyright to a few pictures, you can purchase them individually for $30 per image.
