WHEN ARE IN-HOME FAMILY SESSIONS PHOTOGRAPHED?

In-Home Family Photo Sessions take place on weekday mornings around 10 AM when the light is most beautiful inside. I recommend making a day out of your family photo session! Take a vacation day from work, pull the kids out of school and make fun plans for the afternoon that everyone will look forward to!

WHAT IF I INVEST IN THE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE AND MY KIDS DON'T COOPERATE?

You'll be in good company, because I've never photographed a family session with 100 percent perfect behavior from all of the kids the entire time. And here's the thing - I in NO WAY expect it either! I actually need your kids to be kids - that's what makes for the best photos. Yes, you may have to reel them back in here and there, but more than anything I need you, as parents to keep smiling. That is what makes the difference. And we'll be in your home, so if your kids need a break to play or run wild up and down the hallways, let's do it! Sometimes these instances make for the best photographs anyway!

WHEN ARE NEWBORN SESSIONS PHOTOGRAPHED?

Newborn Photo Sessions take place on weekday mornings around 10 AM when the light is most beautiful inside. I recommend prioritizing scheduling your session while both parents are still on leave from work to avoid any potential conflicts! I photograph newborn sessions at any point within the first month after birth.

WHAT IF I INVEST IN THE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE AND MY KIDS DON'T COOPERATE OR MY BABY DOESN'T SLEEP?

I give you all of the tips to make it more likely that your baby will sleep through your session. But if he or she doesn't, it's ok! The beautiful thing about a lifestyle newborn session is that I don't need your baby totally asleep the entire time, so don't sweat it. And as for uncooperative older siblings, I have great news. I've never photographed a session with 100 percent perfect behavior from all of the kids the entire time. And I in NO WAY expect it either! I actually need your kids to be kids - that's what makes for the best photos. And we'll be in your home, so if your kids need a break to play, it's totally fine!

See yourself as your
children see you

I’LL FREEZE THE MOMENTS OF JOY SO THEY LAST A LIFETIME

Raleigh Family & Newborn Photography

raising children is a lot to absorb every day, but...

What if you could see
yourself as lovingly as
your children see you?

As a parent, you're in the trenches. You're simply doing
everything you can to keep the proverbial ship afloat.
You often don't have the opportunity to stop and soak in
the sweet moments of life.

Allow me to freeze this season for you and reveal to you
what is blooming around you. You will have the opportunity
that few others do, to see yourself as your children see you.

Let's peel back the outer chaos of motherhood together and
create something magical for you and your family.

NEXT F.A.Q

If you have at least one window in your home with good natural light that streams through it, we can make magical photos of your family happen in your home! Your home doesn't need to look like a page straight out of a Pottery Barn magazine or have an updated kitchen with all of the bells and whistles. One good window and a home full of people who love each other is all I need!

I want to do an in-home session, but i'm not confident my home will photograph well. how can i tell if it will work or not?

When are legacy and newborn sessions photographed?

Newborn and Legacy Sessions take place on weekday mornings around 10 AM when the light is most beautiful inside. I recommend making a day out of your Legacy Session! Take a vacation day from work, pull the kids out of school and make fun plans for the afternoon that everyone will look forward to!

In short, no, but allow me to explain further. When you book, you’ll see your due date on your contract. I use your due date to hold your spot on my calendar, as I only accept a limited number of newborn sessions each month. I ask you to let me know within 48 hours of baby being born, and from there we choose a finalized date and time for your session. We typically land on a date within the first few weeks of baby's life when Mom and Dad are both still off of work.

DO WE SELECT A DATE FOR OUR NEWBORN SESSION UPON BOOKING?

I believe in providing a full service experience until the very end, which means I don’t want to leave you with tons of digital files from your session and zero direction as to what to do with them. Once you view the slideshow of your final images at your ordering appointment, you will choose a collection that includes a set number of digital images as well as a print credit so that you can get the images off of your hard drive and into your home!

DO WE GET ALL OF THE DIGITAL FILES, AND CAN WE PRINT THE IMAGES OURSELVES?

Fantastic! To reserve a date on my calendar, I’ll need a completed contract and payment for the session fee. The remainder will not be due until after you view your final images and choose a collection that best suits your needs.

WE LOVE YOUR WORK AND WE’RE READY TO BOOK! WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP?
