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.

AFTER THE SESSION

For family portraits, your images will be sent to you as a private gallery within 10 to 15 business days. For Wedding and Bar/Bat Mitzvah clients, your images will be available within 3 to 6 weeks of the event date. Please let me know if you have a time-sensitive need. You can choose to share them with family and friends, or not. You can request a sneak peek on Facebook. You’re welcome to schedule an in person consultation to determine how to best present your images in your home, office or as gifts.

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*)
