FAQ:

What do we wear? Wear clothes that you feel comfortable and confident in. Coordinate with your family, but don't try to be matchy-matchy unless that's your vibe. Wearing fall colors like burgundy, rust, cream, white/black/gray, will really pop amongst the fall colors (try not to wear green in case we shoot in front of foliage). Check the family session guide for outfit inspiration.
How do I get my photos? Your gallery is delivered digitally via email about a week after our photo session. Includes the best images, usually 30+
What if there's smoke/rain/bad weather? We can totally reschedule if any of these things come up! If it's raining, I usually check the weather the evening before. The clouds can add a nice mood to photos, but if it's pouring rain let's reschedule.
Do I have to pay with Paypal? My site uses paypal in checkout, but if you prefer to pay online by card, let me know. Sessions are nonrefundable. Should you need to reschedule, the payment will apply towards a new date (subject to availability)
