Preparing for a Session

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Decide what session is best for you.
  • We’ll chose a suitable date and time based on schedules, naps and light.
  • I’ll send you info on how to prepare for your shoot including what to wear and bring.
  • We’ll discuss what you want most from your session.

Some kids (and sometimes adults too) take longer to warm up, while others jump right in, smile and giggle without hesitation. It’s important for the parents to feel relaxed and playful too. If we’re on location (outdoors), it’s easy to hang back and observe, or jump in when the moment is right. Newborns have their own agenda too. I’ll work with you to make the best images and moments within the natural flow of being a new parent.

ON LOCATION OR IN HOME

I can shoot at your home or on location within an hour drive of Malvern, PA. (Of course, I’ll travel farther to capture weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs).  It’s possible to shoot in more than one location during a session. If I’m traveling to you, I can bring additional lighting to supplement your natural light. I travel to the beach or woods if you want images in places that are special to you. (*Travel fees may apply*)

CONSIDERATIONS:

Time of year
