Seattle Fall Foliage Family Sessions

If it rains, I am very flexible and will work with you to reschedule your session. If we cannot find a date that works for you, I will refund your deposit. (You can also choose to convert your deposit into credit toward future sessions.)

If you have a flexible schedule, we can wait until the morning of your session to decide whether to proceed or reschedule. The weather forecast can be unreliable, so if your family is willing, we can still show up to the session. If we get rained out, we reschedule, and you will not lose your deposit. With this approach, I can shoot most of the time.

Also, don’t worry about cloudy weather. It adds a unique and moody feel to your photos, perfect for capturing tender moments with your family.

After you book your session, I will email you detailed prep information, including the outfit inspiration guide and online styling service, to help you look your best for the session.

You can also email or text me with any styling questions.

If your kiddo is not cooperating – don’t worry (because they will feel that). I will follow their lead and do my best to capture happy moments.

There will never be any pressure to look into the camera to smile. I have plenty of tricks to help get your kiddos engaged and interested, so 99% of the time, I can get you plenty of shots. (And for that 1% – we will work together to do our best.)

I will guide, prompt, and direct you the entire time, so you don't have to worry about a thing. I aim for natural-looking poses while also capturing candids along the way.

Of course! Pets are so fun to include in the photos. When booking, please let me know if pets will be joining and what kind of pets.

After we do a few shots with the pet during the session, you'll need to prepare in advance how to keep the pet safe while we work on the photos without the pet.

A Mini-Session includes 10 hand-edited images (that you pick from a gallery of 40–60 photos), while a Deluxe Session includes 20 (that you pick from a gallery of 80–100 photos).

After you see your proof gallery, you can purchase additional hand-edited photos for $20 each. Information on purchasing additional images will be included with your online proof gallery.

In addition, a full-gallery upgrade is available for $200. It includes all the images in your proof gallery with a standard color edit (as they appear in your proof gallery, no hand-edit). Photos will be in full print resolution with print rights.

(See the next question for more information about the difference between hand editing and color editing.)

You will receive your online proof gallery within four days after your session. You will have seven days to pick your images for the hand-edit. Seven days after you submit your selections, your hand-edited photos will be delivered via an online gallery.

If you purchase the full gallery upgrade, you will receive the download link within 48 hours of payment.

Color edit includes an overall color adjustment to make the photos appear brighter, more colorful, and properly exposed.

In addition to the color edit, hand edit includes basic skin smoothing, removal of blemishes, bruises, and a few fly-aways, as well as more detailed color adjustments. It gives your photos a more “polished” look.

Payments are made by credit card. A $100 deposit is required to book your session.

The remaining balance is due at the time of your photoshoot. An invoice reminder will be emailed to you a day before your session. The proof gallery is delivered after the payment is made in full.
