Q: What happens if there is inclement weather on the day of our session?

Texas is notorious for unpredictable weather. I’ll make a weather decision prior to our session and in the chance of reschedule, we will work together to find a backup date that works for you.

Q: What should we wear?

Neutrals and muted colors work best with my style of photography! This is one of my favorite things to plan. I’ll send a styling link to help you visualize colors and outfits with your location. It includes shopping links to make it simple and easy!

Q: Can I bring my newborn to my mini session?

I do not recommend newborns during mini sessions due to the time needed to calm and soothe them. I highly recommend a full lifestyle session for newborns.

Q: I need my pictures quicker than the 4-6 week estimated turnaround, can I rush them?

Yes. I have one week and two week rush options that are available for a rush fee. Please let me know ahead of time if you need this!

Q: Are these refundable?

Due to nature of these mini sessions, they are non-refundable.
