Frequently Asked Questions

We do have a studio wardrobe with dresses & fabrics you may use during your shoot. However, I still ask you to bring your own wardrobe to the shoot and we can mix in wardrobe if you want. We will have a consultation prior to the shoot where we discuss specifically what wardrobe you should bring in and how to find it.

Do you provide the wardrobe for the maternity shoot?

I believe we are all deserving of existing in print. Digital files probably won’t be handed down through generations as a treasure…but guess what? A print will. I currently have in my possession portraits dating back to the early 1900’s of my family. Though I never met them I grew up being told of many stories of my ancestors by my family. I cherish these portraits, and I want your portraits to be cherished for generations too.

Why do you sell printed artwork? Isn’t that old school?

Where are you based?

Our studio is based in NYC but also travel to Boca Raton, FL 3-4 times a year for sessions.

When is the best time to schedule a maternity session?

The best time for a maternity session is 27 to 32 weeks.  At this time you look pregnant, but aren't yet uncomfortable.

What types of printed products do you offer?

We offer fully framed wall portraits as well as specialty products like canvas, acrylic and metal prints. We also offer gorgeous folio boxes complete with sets of matted prints and fine art albums.

Will I get digital images?

Yes, some collections do include the digital images.

What is your turnaround time?

Ideally I like to have about 4-6 weeks from initial point of contact to the delivering of pictures. However, I have been known to turn a shoot around in as little as 2.5 weeks (yes with pictures in print). If you are on a deadline with your images please get in touch and I’ll see what I can do for you.

What days of the week do you shoot?

Most of our shoots take place on weekdays. Our top hair and makeup artists also work weddings, so to guarantee the best beauty team for your day we have found weekday shoots work best. Many of our clients take a full day off work to “play hooky” and enjoy some pampering. We do keep a couple weekend dates open per month for clients who absolutely need this option but these dates come with an additional fee and are booked on a first come first served basis.

What is the cost of a shoot?

Portrait sessions begin at $299 and include a styling consultation + access to our studio wardrobe, professional hair and makeup, multiple outfit changes, and photo shoot that takes 3-4 hours. At your image reveal + order session, you will have the option to select from different collections as well as customize your own images. Let’s set up a complimentary consultation so that we can hear about your dream portrait experience + products and get you a custom quote. You can begin that process here.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept credit cards, paypal, venmo and cash.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we can arrange a monthly payment plan. Please inquire.

What are the next steps for booking?

1) To get the booking process started contact me here.

2) Within 24-48 hours (Mon-Friday) of receiving your inquiry I will reach out to schedule a “Getting to Know You” call.

3) At our “Getting To Know You Call” we will get acquainted, discuss your vision and all you are hoping to achieve with our shoot. Once I have an understanding of your needs & desires I will be able to share a more accurate quote and answer all your questions. At this point if you are a YES to booking we will celebrate and move forward with booking your shoot date.

4) Booking in your shoot date requires a) selecting a date, b) paying your non refundable retainer/session fee to reserve your date, c) signing a photoshoot agreement so you are clear on our policies.
