questions & answers

what is a photo session with you like?

When we have a session together, I want to make sure the pictures we take are filled with real moments and genuine emotions. We won't just stand and pose with fake smiles. Instead, we'll have so much fun playing games, running around, hugging, and laughing together. This way, the pictures will show the true love and happiness your family shares.

 

The images we capture during your session will go beyond just photographs. They will become a beautiful reflection of your family and the deep love that binds you together.

I'm worried about how my child will act at the session.

No need to worry if your child isn't flashing a big smile for the camera. I have a special talent for capturing the genuine and natural expressions of children, even when they're not posing or forcing a smile. I believe that the best photographs come from moments of joy, laughter, and genuine emotions.

 

During our session, I'll create a fun and relaxed environment where your little ones can feel comfortable and be themselves. We'll play games, tell silly jokes, and engage in activities that bring out their unique personalities. I'll be right there, ready to capture those precious moments when they light up with laughter or show their curious nature.

 

I understand that each child is unique, and some may feel a bit shy or reserved in front of the camera. That's absolutely okay! I will patiently work with them, providing gentle guidance and encouragement, to help them feel at ease. By creating a safe and playful space, we can capture their true essence, their genuine expressions, and the love they share with you.

 

can you help me with what to wear?

Absolutely! When you choose me as your photographer, you're not just getting someone to take pictures. You're getting a personalized styling experience that adds an extra touch of magic to your session! During our one-on-one styling call, we'll dive into the vision you have for your photos. Whether you're dreaming of a boho-inspired look, a classic and timeless style, or something feminine and elegant, I'll be right there to guide you.

 

I'll carefully select clothing options for your whole family that perfectly align with your desired look and my specific style of photography.

 

But here's the best part! I have a special client closet filled with gorgeous pieces that I've hand-picked just for you. These outfits are not only flattering, but they also photograph beautifully, making you shine in front of the camera.

 

Together, we'll create a coordinated and stunning wardrobe that will make your photos truly stand out. Making sure you feel confident and stylish at your session.

how do we choose a location?

You can relax and leave the location hunting to me! I've personally explored various stunning spots in and around Toledo, carefully selecting the most picturesque settings for your session. I've done the legwork to ensure that your session takes place in a truly captivating location.

 

Together we can choose the perfect location to create beautiful memories of your family.
