**if you're a returning ELP client, please enjoy 20-percent off the first three packages, and $100 off the combination options
**i prefer to take photos one-hour before sunset for outdoor sessions. for in-home/hospital sessions, we can chat about the best lighting your home receives during the day and plan accordingly
FAQ
when should i schedule my maternity session?
>>i personally recommend planning your maternity session 4 to 6 weeks before your due date. if you find yourself on bed rest or with an early delivery, six or more weeks will hopefully give you enough time to squeeze photos in!
if my baby is born before we are able to take maternity photos, is there a refund?
>>i do not offer refunds but i will gladly transfer your deposit/payment to another session (lifestyle or family). your deposit is good for one full year from the time payment is received.
when can we expect our photos?
>>i guarantee delivery of every session within 4-6 weeks but try to deliver them sooner (because i don't like to wait either).
how are photos delivered?
>>in an online gallery where you may download and print as you please! you will have access to your gallery for one month after your photos are delivered and will need to download and back up your photos in that time.
how many photos can we expect?
>>i don’t promise a specific amount of photos but do promise to give you plenty to choose from.
what does a lifestyle session entail?
>>me in your house taking your photos! i LOVE lifestyle sessions because you get to hang out in your house (in your jammies IF YOU WANT) and i'll take pictures of you living your life. i love these sessions for newborns because i am not a typical newborn photographer. so you can curl up on your couch with your new baby and a cup of coffee, or rock your sweet babe and i'll be there snapping away and capturing real life.
if i purchase a lifestyle session, can we do a milk bath during it?
>>yes! plan to do the milk bath photos during the last 15-minutes of your session.
is it okay if grandparents are present during the fresh 48 or lifestyle session?
>>for fresh48 sessions in your recovery room, i do ask that only the parents be present. i promise to work efficiently and not take up too much of your time so that if you do have visitors they are able to return to see you and the baby quickly. because the rooms are small and we move around for photos, i don’t want to have to ask extra guests to continually move out of the way, so it’s best if they step out for the duration of your photos. additional parties often want to pause the session to take their own photos or adjust things and this can add unnecessary time to our session and i don’t want to monopolize any more time than necessary. if your photos are in your home, then of course your family is welcome and i’m happy to snap some photos of everyone present if you’d like. i understand that sometimes an extra set of hands to help wrangle or distract siblings might be necessary.
