Short answer - neutrals! The goal is to compliment each other, not match each other. As a part of your session experience, I will offer my professional opinion to help achieve the most cohesive overall look of your family photos. Don't underestimate the power of a well-planned wardrobe for the overall result!!

If you'd like to completely hand the reins over to me, for a small additional charge, I'll plan the entire family wardrobe and send custom shopping links! A service well worth it for large families in my opinion!

Nearly everyone feels this way, truly. I do my best at every session to engage in conversation, tell stories and laugh. My goal is make you feel as comfortable as possibly so you forget the camera is even there. Think - AUTHENTIC. I aim for a couple classic look-at-the-camera portraits but my approach during the remainder of our session is documentary style. I want to capture you and your loved ones just as you are.

Within reason, all the best ones! Many photographers, as a part of their business plan will upcharge for additional photos. Unpopular opinion, but I do not.

Weddings typically yield 50/hour. An average length portrait session will typically produce 30-70.

As an industry standard, photographers will likely decline this request. Why? Raw files directly out of the camera are not image files, they require special software to be opened. Most photographers shoot in RAW as opposed to JPEG because they contain "more data" from the camera's sensor, allowing more creative manipulation during the editing process. The editing process is when the "art" is made and hopefully what has drawn you to the "artist" and their craft in the first place. Trust your photographer that they are delivering the best edited images and in a style that is consistent with their work.
