FAQs
OUTDOOR PORTRAIT TIMING
When is the best time for outdoor portraits?
Outdoor sessions are scheduled around the best available light, typically 1–2 hours before sunset or 2–3 hours after sunrise. Cloud coverage, temperature and time of year can affect the exact session time.
Babies and young children generally do best in the morning. I also consider nap schedules, early bedtimes and temperatures when helping you choose a time.
WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?
What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
I keep an eye on the forecast as your session approaches. Rain, high winds, extreme heat or cold may require us to adjust your session time, reschedule, or move indoors.
Cloudy skies alone are not a reason to reschedule. Beautiful portraits can be created in both sunny and overcast conditions.
Outdoor sessions are generally most comfortable between 60°F and 80°F. Adult-only sessions may work in somewhat cooler temperatures.
STUDIO OR OUTDOOR?
Outdoor sessions offer natural scenery and seasonal looks, but scheduling depends on daylight, weather and temperature.
Studio sessions offer a comfortable, controlled environment year-round and much more scheduling flexibility.
Not sure which is right for you? I’m happy to help.
FULL OR SHORT & SWEET?
What’s the difference?
Full Sessions give us more time for multiple poses, groupings, looks and overall variety.
Short & Sweet Sessions are approximately 20 minutes and designed for those times when you really just need that one great shot. They include fewer poses, groupings and overall variety and are offered at my studio or select locations very close to my Canton studio.
RETAINERS & RESCHEDULING
A $100 retainer is required to reserve your session and is applied toward your total session fee.
At least 24 hours’ notice is required when rescheduling to avoid forfeiting your retainer. Weather and illness happen. When necessary, we’ll work together to find another session time or move your session indoors.
WHAT IF MY CHILD DOESN’T COOPERATE?
That happens!
Young children don’t always smile on command, and that’s okay. I work with their personality and energy rather than forcing a particular expression. Sometimes the natural moments become the favorites.
