Questions
What should we wear for our family session?
Choose classic, timeless outfits that reflect your personality. Coordinate colors but avoid matching exactly. Bring one or two outfit options depending on session length.

Mini sessions last 45 minutes, standard sessions one hour. Newborn sessions take 2-3 hours with breaks for feeding and changes.

Sessions occur in central Phoenix locations or your home. Outdoor sessions consider lighting conditions, while in-home sessions require comfortable temperatures for newborns.
How many photos will we receive?
Mini sessions include 10 edited images, small sessions 30, and all-inclusive/newborn sessions deliver entire galleries with 60+ images.
Do you edit the photos?
Yes, we enhance natural light and colors while preserving authenticity. Minor touch-ups address temporary imperfections, but maintain your natural appearance without major alterations.

Newborn sessions should be scheduled during pregnancy, with maternity sessions ideally booked 6-8 months in advance for optimal availability.
