How would you describe your style?
Family photo sessions should be fun and stress free. I have a very candid photography style. However, I do also like to get a perfect posed family photo. Many of my clients say that this is the most important photo to get because it takes a professional photographer to get everyone in place, looking good and looking at the camera. You will get that shot and many more candid, laughing, playful photos to remember your family at this moment in time.

What should we bring to the photo shoot?
Make sure everyone has been fed before the photoshoot. If you are bringing a pet, bring a squeaker/favorite toy so I can get his/her attention.

What are the best locations for a family shoot in Fishers?
A park is always a great location. It offers simple non cluttered backgrounds that will help your family photos stand out. Trees offer natural shade that is flattering for portraits. But consider that the background also will be present in your photos and it might be nice to choose a place that has some importance to your family. Your home, your backyard, the street in front of your home is also a nice choice.

Do you offer studio sessions as well?
Yes, I do offer studio mini sessions in my home as well on a limited basis.  Sign up on my email list to hear about future mini sessions HERE.

When will we see our photos?
Your collection of images will be ready within 2 weeks of your photo session in an online gallery.

See the Blog post HERE.

How much time should we schedule for a family photo shoot?
The session lasts between 1-1.5 hours. I will keep shooting as long as I’m getting great shots. Kids have about 45 minutes of energy (and patience) for family photos, so the best shots are often gotten right at the start of the session. That’s why I like to keep the end of the session reserved for candid and un-posed photos. We can even end the session in a playground and catch kids playing and having fun. Those are also great memories…

What if my child is not behaving? 
My sessions are designed to be fun, fast moving and very candid. I always try to get the posed pictures done first and then dedicate the rest of the session for candid photos. You will get beautiful shots from your photo session. So don’t worry about your kids, I will take care of everything.

What happens if it rains? Or what it my child is sick?
I often book a back-up date when the initial date is set. Otherwise, you can cancel (even the morning of your session) and we will choose another date.

What should we do with our digital files?
Having the digital files gives you the most freedom. You can use the photos for Christmas cards, calendars, prints, canvas, frames. Or simply make a beautiful slideshow or photo book. The key is not to leave the images on your computer where you will never have the chance to view them.

Do you offer family portraits outside of Fishers/Indianapolis area?
Absolutely!  I do charge a travel fee for locations outside of the city. Send me and email and I can give you all the information.

How do we book a session with you?
Simply send me an email with some preferred dates. Keep in mind that weekends book up fast, so if you’d like a weekend date, consider booking about 3-4 weeks in advance.
