FAQs
Capturing Memories: Perfect Timing for Outdoor Family Portraits
Looking for beautiful outdoor portraits with young children?
Here's a guide to scheduling your session:
- Golden Hours: Early mornings and late afternoons offer the most comfortable temperatures and flattering light. May and October are ideal months, but late April, early June, and late September might work too, depending on the weather.
- Weekend Availability: Weekends are popular, so securing the "perfect" time slot might be limited. We only offer about 14 appointments per weekend, so plan ahead!
What about the weather?
- Rescheduling for Comfort: If the forecast predicts rain (over 40% chance) or uncomfortable temperatures (below 55°F or above 85°F), we'll offer you alternative dates or a studio session. We might also need to adjust your session time slightly based on the day's weather conditions.
- Ideal Conditions: The sweet spot for outdoor sessions is between 60°F and 80°F. We can manage cooler temperatures (down to 50°F) for adult-only sessions. Wind speeds should ideally be below 8 mph.
- Embrace All Light: I enjoy capturing photos on both sunny and cloudy days. While they create different moods, cloud cover alone isn't a reason to reschedule.
Studio vs. Outdoor:
- Outdoor sessions can be trickier to schedule due to their dependence on weather, sunlight, and blooming seasons. We can only schedule one outdoor session per day during "magic hour" (just after sunrise or right before sunset). This timing might not be ideal for young children's nap schedules or early bedtimes. Rescheduling due to weather is also more common with outdoor sessions.
- Studio sessions offer a more comfortable and reliable option, always guaranteeing beautiful results.
What's Included:
- All portrait sessions are inclusive and come with a set of digital images (1800x1200 resolution).
- I have backup equipment and full insurance for your peace of mind.
Retainers and Rescheduling:
- A retainer is required to book your preferred date and time. We require 24 hours' notice to avoid losing your retainer.
- We understand that bad weather and illness happen. If needed, we'll work together to find a new session time or move indoors.
Number of Photos:
- The number of final images you receive will depend on the specific shoot (what we're capturing, number of people involved, etc.).
When Littles Don't Cooperate:
- Sometimes, even the best efforts can't coax a smile from a child. This is perfectly normal! We'll work with their natural energy to capture genuine moments.
Let's Capture Your Memories!
I hope this information helps you decide if an outdoor session is the right fit for your family.
