Questions
What style of photography do you specialize in?
I specialize in natural, documentary-style photography that captures authentic moments using available light. My approach focuses on emotional connections rather than posed shots, creating timeless images that tell your family's story.
When should we schedule our newborn photography session?
Ideal newborn sessions occur within the first two weeks after birth when babies are sleepier and more flexible. However, I accommodate sessions up to three months if needed, with adjustments to capture your baby's unique personality at any age.
How long do photography sessions typically last?
Session durations vary by type: newborn sessions (2-2.5 hours), family sessions (1 hour), maternity sessions (45-60 minutes), and senior portraits (1-2 hours). I adjust timing to maintain subject comfort while ensuring comprehensive coverage.
What's included in your photography packages?
All packages include professional photography, styling guidance, and online galleries with 50-75+ edited images. Newborn and family sessions include at least 75 images, while senior packages offer 30-75+ images depending on session length.
Do you offer print services?
Yes, I provide professional print ordering through your private online gallery. While I don't sell prints directly, I partner with quality labs to ensure excellent print results from your digital images.
Are travel fees applied to all locations?
Travel fees apply for sessions in eastern Suffolk County or western Nassau County and beyond. I assess each location individually and communicate any additional charges before booking your session.
