FAQs

Branson, Missouri.  

I am available in the Table Rock Lake area and am happy to come to you within an hour of Branson.

Fried as in "freed"!  But don't worry if you get it wrong :-)

The hour before sunset is always the most flattering light.  If you can make it work, I highly recommend it!  

A close second is the hour after sunrise. You know what they say, the early bird gets the best photos!

Having kids myself, I absolutely get it!  But the truth is, you'd be surprised at how enjoyable your kids actually are outside, at dusk, with all of nature to play with.  The beautiful light in your family photos will last way longer than the late bedtime grumps.  Strategic planning can help, a later nap time, later dinner, and most of all, an attitude of adventure!  Kids are such sponges, they will pick up on your mood.  If you lead the way with a fun-loving spirit, they will follow along and we'll make family photos worthy of the late night.

I will provide general guidelines in an easy-to-skim PDF to help you decide what to wear & I am happy to offer more specific styling advice if you'd like.  

I do not have a client closet at this time but am able to recommend color schemes and clothing styles that photograph well while also giving feedback on your choices.

✔ Every session starts with a $150 non-refundable retainer due at booking and applied toward your session fee.

✔ Full group poses + candid moments that show personality.

✔Your proof gallery will be ready within a week; your final gallery within a month from when you choose your favorites.

✔ Beautifully edited images to download, share, print and enjoy for years to come.

Every session includes a proof gallery, with the option to add additional edited images for $25 each or 10 for $150.

I intentionally schedule no more than two sessions per week, leaving flexibility in my schedule to accommodate weather changes. I’ll keep an eye on the forecast leading up to your session and communicate with you if rescheduling looks necessary.

If the weather is completely uncooperative, we can discuss indoor options or reschedule your session within 12 months of the original date, with your session fee locked in at the original price.

✔ it is always fun to bring a special quilt if it goes with your color scheme.

I travel within about an hour of Branson, MO.

I do not at this time but I can recommend my favorite photo lab - www.mpix.com - they offer high quality prints and reasonable rates!  And they're not paying me to say so :-)

Booking is simple! Click the link below to fill out a short booking form. I’ll then send you an invoice for the $150 retainer, along with your session contract and a more detailed questionnaire.

Once your contract is signed and your retainer is paid, your session is officially booked!

The remaining session fee is due two weeks before your session.
