Q: When is the best time to schedule an engagement photo session?
A: I recommend inquiring with me at least 2 to 3 weeks prior to the session date you would like ensure availability. If your session date is sooner than this, let's chat anyway to see if we can make it work!
Q: Where can my photo session take place?
A: Sessions can take place at an outdoor location in Austin or surrounding area or in the comfort of your own home. Alternatively, if you would prefer for your session to take place at a studio, studio rentals may be available upon request for an extra cost.
Q: How long does a photo session last?
A: The Signature session lasts 1 hour, allowing us to capture the most images. Alternatively, if you would like a shorter session, my Petit session lasts only 30 minutes.
Q: What should I wear for an engagement photo session?
A: We all know the weather in Austin tends to be on the warmer side. Choose something comfortable that you feel good in, as the focus will be on your connection with your loved one rather than your outfit. As a couple, I recommend picking colors that compliment one another, but do not exactly match. Simple, neutral-toned colors work best such as white, light grey, ivory, or pastels. I recommend avoiding any dark or bright colors as those can easily create color casts and cause unnatural skin tones. If you need help coordinating outfits, I am also here to assist!
Q: How do I prepare my home for our photo session?
A: If you booked an in home session, don't worry, you don’t need to (nor should) deep clean! We’ll use natural areas of your home like the master bedroom and living spaces. Just tidy up a bit to avoid any big distractions in the background, and don’t stress about perfection.
Q: Is natural light preferred for in home engagement photos?
A: Yes! Natural light is ideal for lifestyle sessions. We’ll use soft window light to create warm, natural-looking images. I may also bring in a small amount of lighting if needed, such as an on-camera flash.
Q: Can pets be included in the session?
A: Yes! Including pets adds to the story of your family and creates beautiful, meaningful images. My only ask is that they be kept on a leash when shooting at an outdoor location.
Q: Will you help with posing?
A: Yes! I will give you lots of prompts to get as much authenticity and genuine smiles. I typically take a mix of posed and candid shots, but will also chat with you prior to your session to ensure I know exactly how to tailor the experience exactly to you and your family.
Q: How long will it take to receive my final edited images?
A: Typically, it takes about 2-3 weeks to receive your final gallery.
Q: Do you also photograph weddings?
A: I do not photograph weddings at this time.
