- Please take a minute to check out the Q&A page for answers to the questions we get asked the most.
- It’s best to get haircuts at least a week before the shoot. It might take a few days to grow into, a haircut. This buffer allows for some extra growth, tweaks, and perfections to the hairstyle prior to the big day. We also have hair and makeup artists we can recommend.
- Feel free to bring your own special props or children's lovies for a few special heirloom images. If you let me know ahead of time I can be thinking and planning how to incorporate these items into the session.
- Please let me know ahead of time if you plan on bringing pets with you.
- What makes us different?
- Information about our editing process
- Information about how to prepare your child for the session
- Information on local tips
- Reel quick — check out our friends at Nelson Guide Company for a family-friendly fishing excursion. For your special rate, tell them we sent you!
- Tips on making the most of your vacation!

Please be sure to add us to your email contact list or mark us as safe. We have had many clients say they are not receiving all our emails. HTG can explain how to do that if you need help.

If any of the children do not like the sand I do have chairs, a white sheet and other little tricks so just let me know! I would much rather have happy children than children in the sand. If you would like me to bring an adult fold-out chair for anyone who may have trouble standing the whole hour and would like to sit while waiting their turn I can bring that as well.

- If you have not read this yet, check out some great tips on how to prepare your child for the session.
- Some information on the area to help you get the most out of your vacation!
- Our Pinterest board for session tips!
- Be thinking of what type of image you want to be displayed in your home and the size. Do you want a larger image to be posed, relaxed, whole family, just the kids, etc. Knowing this will help me in planning the session as we want to shoot larger prints early in the session while the light is bright.
- Here is some information about our prints
Have a Blessed day!

after the session
Thank you for choosing me as your photographer. It was a pleasure working with you and I would love to do it again sometime!! Together we captured some great shots and I know you will enjoy them for years to come.

If you have any special request sneak peeks needed for upcoming events or sharing let me know and I'll get it to you! Keep in mind that we do offer rushed service for a convenience fee of $200.
It's time to start thinking of what you want to do with your digital images! Do you need updated prints in your home? An album to include all the memories?

- Here are a few quick reads that may be able to help you decide:
- Getting the most out of your Digital File
- Information on different prints and frames
- Our offered Album
- While we do offer individual prints and canvas, we do carry packages as well that can help save you money.
- Wondering what we're up to? Here is a little about our editing process.
- Why we think you will love your prints over digital files left to hide on the computer.
- Let's get them off a disc and on the walls! When thinking about wall images begins with walking around the house. Think about where you would like to display your images. You may want to bring a measuring tape with you, sizes can be tricky. An 11x14 may sound like a large image but on an empty wall, it can be pretty small. One trick is to cut out newspaper to the size you are thinking about and tape it to the wall. Be sure to keep a list so you can fill in what image goes where after you view your images. If you would like examples, check out these awesome wall displays I have found and loved here
- With digital images many times smaller prints such as 5x7 can print just as nicely as a professional image, depending on the company. I can guarantee disc printing up to 8x10. Many will print larger however without being able to see the image I cannot guarantee it. It depends on the lighting, crop factors, and printing company. You may want to go ahead and check out the many Mpix.com. It is where I recommend printing from as they have the highest quality of any of the consumer printers. They not only provide prints but you can get books, cards, and many other items there as well.
- We do sell high-quality products and prints. You can find the pricing for those items here, The advantage of purchasing through us is, we can help guide you in product and sizing and personally prepare each image.
