Questions

Common Questions

Quick answers before visitors choose a product, service, or next step.

01How far ahead should I book my session?+

Portrait and family sessions can book 2-4 weeks out. Weddings and big events should book as early as possible.

02What should we wear for photos?+

03Do you edit every photo?+

Beth checks every image, fixes color and light, and retouches the final selects you choose.

04Can you shoot at my home?+

Yes. Newborn and family sessions can be at home if you want a calm place with better nap and feed breaks.

Most portrait galleries are ready in 7-10 days. Weddings and large events take longer, based on the size of the day.
