The Photo Session
My goal is to create honest and beautiful portraits that capture the individuality of the subject… who they are in the moment, not just how they look. I mostly shoot in color, but I also work with sepia and black & white. I work exclusively with natural light. I’d love to capture a day in the life of your child, your family, or yourself.
Things to keep in mind before the shoot:
- Sessions are scheduled according to your family’s routine.
- It’s best for everyone if children are fed and have had their naps before the session.
- I shoot on location: you name the place — your home (or someone else’s!), your favorite park, the beach. These are commonly requested locations: Wrightsville Beach, Airlie Gardens, Fort Fisher, Arboretum, and downtown Wilmington.
- Sessions last between 1 and 2 hours, longer for newborns, so keep this in mind when choosing a location.
- If your child is sick, rescheduling is never a problem. I have two sons and I definitely understand. If there is insufficient natural light or inclement weather, sessions will be rescheduled at no charge.
What to wear? (or not)
Kids & Adults — Please no cartoon t-shirts and wild prints. Simple goes a long way! Solid colors work best, jeans or overalls are always a good choice, or a simple sundress, if weather permits. If your child insists on a particular favorite and crazy outfit that you find unacceptable… let them wear it to the session. Bring a second outfit for a clothing change… a good compromise for a head-strong and “future designer” child (I have one myself). At the beach I prefer barefeet and “not so perfect” hair.
Newborns — Newborns should be photographed no later than 2 weeks old. If you are pregnant, please book your session before your due date… If you are early or late, I will adjust her schedule to accommodate your actual delivery date. Clothing for newborns? The natural look is best… naked, naked, naked. But if you have a favorite outfit, we can work that in too.
Afterwards…
Following your shoot, each image is digitally processed and added to a private online gallery. You will be emailed a link to your gallery within 10 days following your session. Approximately 30-40 images will be published for viewing by family and friends. Galleries remain active for 60 days at which time orders may be placed online (orders must be placed during this period). Prints will be mailed to you within 7 days after placing an order.
