Does the whole family need to be available for each session?

No. In fact for the monthly subscription I recommend having normal everyday things documented, like grocery shopping with mom, biking with dad etc on weekdays so that you aren't trying to squeeze me in one weekend each month and have everyone present.

What kinds of things will be doing together?

Real life. Don't overthink our session time, this is meant to be relaxed and document your everyday. Have me over for breakfast, bedtime, Halloween decorating or baby's first birthday! The possibilities are endless.

Can other people be in our pictures, like Grandma or cousins?

Absolutely! Please know that they will fall under your general client agreement and model release guidelines should they attend a session.

Can we do posed portraits?

The Year in the Life documentary sessions are unposed and undirected. There will be no posed portraits.

Do we need to dress up?

Nope. Wear your pj's, you superman costume or your swimsuit! Anything goes. Makeup, no makeup,..this is real life.

WHAT IS YOUR COVID19 SAFETY PROTOCOL?

Due to the ongoing pandemic and the intimate nature of in-home family sessions, I will only be accepting clients this year who have all eligible persons in the family vaccinated for Covid19. I am double vaccinated, will be following all current public health protocol and wear a KN95 for any indoor sessions of any length of time. I will do a wellness check within 12 hours prior to our session.

NEW UPDATE: With the emergence of the Omicron variant I have decided to postpone opening my booking calendar until further notice. To be notified when books open and have first pick of dates please sign up above.

WHAT IF WE HAVE TO RE-SCHEDULE DUE TO ILLNESS?

Not a problem. I have kids and I know how quickly your whole schedule can change at a moment's notice! I would much rather wait to get together. If you have a monthly package and one month just can't happen we will do 2 hours the next month to make up the time. If you have a bi-monthly or quarterly plan, we can change the month.

Who creates the yearbook?

I will select the images from your galleries and design the book. Sit back and let me get it done for you this year!

Will the family yearbook be ready by Christmas 2022?

I cannot guarantee the yearbook for Christmas 2023 delivery. Turnaround on print products is 6-8 weeks.

Do I have to sign an agreement?

Yes, all of my clients need to sign a standard Client Agreement and Model Release at the time of booking.

How do the payments work?

A deposit of $159 +tax is due upon booking to hold your spot. 11 subsequent payments of $159 +tax will be billed automatically on a monthly basis.

Can I pay for my package in one lump sum?

Yes, this is an option, please contact me directly.

How does the monthly booking work?

I will send a booking link to you one month in advance of your next session. There will be weekday options (9-2pm) and weekends.

What if I can't make it one month?

If we are signed up for monthly and miss a month we can make the next month 2 hours instead. I know life gets busy, kids get germs so I am flexible to accommodate these changes.
