How to book a session?
A deposit is not required to reserve a day. Check my online calendar to see what weekdays we have mutually open (I do most sessions on Mondays and Tuesdays). Then use the contact form to me know what days you are interested in and we’ll get something on the books!
What is the best timing for these photos?
Maternity: 30-32 weeks (roughly 2 months before delivery)
Newborn: 4-10 days after delivery. We try and schedule them around day 4-5 and if they arrive early, we still hit that 10 day marker. Since we schedule the session months in advance, I try my best to be flexible and move things around if they come super early. Although, no guarantees since I’m mainly a wedding photographer and I’m often out of town. If this makes you uneasy, I can refer you to some family photographers.
I want my photos outside of Fort Worth, what are the fees?
For sessions outside of Fort Worth, it is $0.35 per mile and $150 for out of office fee per day that I am away from the office.
For the DFW area, the fees vary. Since I am located in Weatherford, some places (with traffic) can take me up to 2 hours to get to (one way). For these locations, the $150. fee do apply. Here are the fees for different cities or areas:
$150. - Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Lewisville, Grapevine, Coppell, Irving, Grand Prairie, Arlington, Euless, McKinney, Mansfield, Burleson, Rockwall
No Fee - Fort Worth, North Richland Hills, Wataga, Azle
What is the best time to take photos?
Maternity: 2 hours after sunrise, or 2 hours before sunset
Newborn: Usually 11 am
When will I receive my photos?
On average, turnaround time is one month. And one month for a preview to be placed on the blog. Once I receive your address and they are edited, they will be mailed your way! If you want them sooner, you can have them in your hands in 5 business days for a $200 rush fee. The rush option is only available upon request, so let me know as soon as possible so I can make sure I don’t have an out of state wedding or anything booked during those days.
How to order a newborn/maternity book?
Your session photos have a 1 month turn around time and then the book is an additional month. So if you want these by a certain date, make sure it is planned 2 months before that big day. Either I can design the book using the images from your “faves” folder on the CD or you can mail me a CD with your favorite 20-30 images.
