Session Information

My Style

I give you options of Black & White, Sepia or Color. I use minimal or no props and neutral backgrounds so the main focus can be on your children. I strive to capture the expressions and personalities of your children. I love to include moms with babies. To capture the special bond between mommy/baby is a delight and will be a treasure to you and your child.

Clothing

If you have chosen B&W or Sepia, I recommend that you choose mostly solid colors in any range from light to dark. Textures show awesome in B&W/Sepia. If you have more than one child being photographed together, their colors need not even coordinate.

If you have chosen Color, make sure your children’s clothes coordinate nicely. Try to stay away from very busy prints.

If you would like to have naked baby photo’s please use a cloth diaper before the session to prevent elastic marks on the skin.

Grooming

Chapped lips ALERT - Please check for chapped lips the day before your session and moisten with a lip balm.

Please also check for fingernail and toenail cleanliness.

Location

I hold sessions in my home studio in Sammamish, WA. Once you have scheduled an appointment, I will email you my address with a map attached.

Guarantee

I guarantee that you will be very happy with many of your pictures. I worked for Nordstrom for 15 years – customer service is ingrained in my attitude. If you are not happy with the results, please speak with me and we will come to an agreeable plan.
