Common Questions about your Family Session

Q

&

A

Go ahead and book your family session two to three months before the season you'd prefer to have photos in.

When is the best time to book my family session?

Perfect! You've got a lively bunch, and I come prepared with age-appropriate games for your family. 

What if my kids are wild?

I am a member of the Capable Community, which means I have completed courses on posing children who cannot support themselves and posing equipment. I come prepared with sensory-seeking and sensory-avoiding prompts for your children, dependent on their needs.

Are you comfortable posing my disabled child?

I send you a style guide the moment you book with plenty ideas on how to dress you and your family! You're welcome to use any of my Client Closet dresses.

What do we wear?

Everyone in the family is allowed! Bring grandparents if you like! Photography is a luxury, and I'm not going to tell you that only certain family members are allowed to participate.

Are grandparents allowed?

So am I! That's why I pose you from head to toe, and come prepared with prompts that mean you're moving naturally the entire session.

I'm awkward in photos, help!

I don't put time limits on my sessions! Sometimes I'm done with the whole family in 45 minutes, and you can go get dinner and put the kids to bed! Sometimes it takes the whole 2 hours get capture everyone as they are. 

How long is a family photography session?

Spend Quality Family Time Together

Cherish the moments

I guide you through a family date, so you're actually bonding and spending quality time together instead of coercing your kids to pose. I come prepared with age appropriate games for your children, so they’ll have a great time!

As soon as you book, we schedule a time to talk about your vision for your session. We discuss outfits for your family, photoshoot location options around Amsterdam, and how you want to display your heirloom art. You have complimentary access to my client closet as well as my styling guide in your inbox! 

Once your gallery is complete, we sit back down together to walk through your framing and album choices. My little boys love looking at albums of themselves and hearing stories about when they were babies, so this might just be my favorite part!
