My Style:
If you take a look through my site and my galleries you’ll notice something a little bit different about my style of photography. I’m not your average photographer. I want to photograph real life instead of uncomfortable poses. My style is relaxed and casual. I call myself a “lifestyle photographer” because I want to capture who you really are. I want to photograph your kids acting like kids, families laughing and playing together. I want to capture babies drooling and newborns sleeping. I want to capture the adventurous spirit of the senior graduating, the love between a newly engaged couple, and the joys of a wedding.
Locations:
Sessions can be done in my studio, at a park, the beach, or even in the comfort of your own home. I’m based out of Longview, Washington and will travel up to 20 miles for your session.
I take my time and things are never rushed. A typical session can last from thirty minutes to two hours. Like life, things never go as planned, so I make sure to make sure we have plenty of time to capture your memories.
I’ve found that kids are more themselves in a place they are familiar with. Though I can’t work miracles with locations, I can usually take great pictures no matter where we are. Babies under six months usually do best indoors. My studio is located in Kelso and is a fun place for photos! Since I am appointment only, you will never have to wait in line to get your pictures taken.
Clothing:
Clothing choices should be casual and comfortable. Busy prints and patterns do not photograph very well. Try to avoid having your child wear themed clothing such as an Elmo t-shirt or a Winnie the Pooh jumper. We want your child to be the focus of the photograph, not the character.
Bright colors are highly encouraged as well as funky hats, pretty skirts, and boots. Wear something fun!!
If yours is a family session, try to coordinate colors. Khakis and jeans are always good choices along with a nice shirt. Try to avoid wearing sleeveless shirts and shorts. No matter how thin your arms are, they tend to look larger in photos!
If you need assistance in clothing choices, I’d be more than happy to help.
Proofing:
About a week after your session I will contact you to arrange a time to view your printed proofs and to place an order. Images that are not ordered will be deleted. All other images will be saved for six months.
Retouching:
Most retouching is included in your session fee, but extensive work can be done for a fee. As a general rule I don’t re-touch children’s photos. I also can not work miracles. If you’re unhappy with your looks I can not help you. You’ll have to take that up with your maker!
Cancellations:
If you need to cancel, I must have 48 hours notice. If you or your child are ill, please do not hesitate to cancel. Photos are no fun when you are sick. I will do my best to fit you into another time slot.
If there are any questions you have about booking a session with me. Please don’t hesitate to ask.
I look forward to hearing from you!
