Family Portraiture FAQ's:

What if my kids just aren't up to the task on our portrait day?

It happens to every parent - you've gone shopping, have the perfect outfit, but your little darling did not fall asleep during naptime and now that you're in the studio his or her smile is nowhere to be found. No worries, with your 50% deposit toward your package I am happy to reschedule you for another visit. Believe me, it's best for everyone to just know when to say when! And don't forget, I'm a mom too - been THERE. Done THAT.

Can Grandma come to help out?

Of COURSE! We'll even sneak her in a few of the photos if she brings her lipstick along!

How about the family pooch?

Definitely. I even have a basket of dog biscuits to make him feel at home.

Do we have to order the CD before we see the proofs?

Of course not! I completely understand if you'd rather wait until you see the collection, it only makes sense, especially if you are a new client.

Are keepsake albums available?

Yes, and I would LOVE for you to own one! I price them affordably (starting at just $99). Just ask me when you're in the studio and I'd be happy to show you examples.

How far in advance do you book?

For family portraits, I am easiest to book in the fall, winter, and early spring and am usually available within a week or two of your call. Outdoor shoots will almost always be scheduled for 90 minutes before sunset. Want to play in the fall leaves? October 15-25 is when they peak in Mid-Missouri.

When do we see our images? Is retouching included?

Generally, when children are with you, you're pretty much ready to make your escape as soon as we wrap up shooting. If that is the case, then I will select the best images from the shoot, thoughtfully retouch them and present them in a fun and user-friendly format online for your viewing and sharing convenience. When you purhcase a CD in advance, I'll often make you a little online presentation you can show off to family and friends!
