How it works
Following your session, you'll first receive a proofing gallery with all the unedited, low-resolution images. This allows you to select your preferred photos up to the number included in your chosen package. Once you've made your choices, we will meticulously edit each selected image. Expect an email containing your final gallery links within 2 weeks. From this gallery, you can directly download the professionally edited digital photos.
after the session
During the session, I usually start with some standard poses and allow room for everyone to warm up. Especially for the little ones, many of them need slightly more time at the start to feel comfortable with unfamiliar face. Then, be prepared for silly jokes, funny noises, and high energy! I will suggest family games and activities, you can also plan a few, that allow the family to cuddle together to get some together photos. I will also work with individuals to get the mother and son, father and daughter, son, and daughter alone etc. photos to give everyone the chance to shine. If you are worried about how to pose, what to do with your hands, etc., don't worry, I've got you covered! I'll be prompting you, so you look at your best. I take LOTS of photos during the short time that we're together, including a lot of candid photos.
