What to wear?
Well-fitting clothing that compliments everyone in the photograph is best. Whether you want to go formal, casual, or a mix of both—choose one and dress the whole family accordingly.
Simple and classic looks always render well on camera. You can choose a color palette in which everyone wears different shades of 1 to 2 colors. Stay away from logos, fluorescent colors, and distracting patterns.
What is your cancellation policy?
Spring Family Mini Sessions are non-refundable and cannot be canceled. Life happens, it's understandable! If you absolutely cannot make your session and you cancel with at least 24 hours notice, you will receive a credit towards a future session. No-shows or cancellations outside the requested time frame will not receive a credit.
Ordering Photos
After your session, I get to work selecting the best images of your family. When your photos are ready to view, you’ll receive an email link to your online gallery. You’ll be directed back to this page where you’ll find instructions and a link to view and select your family’s photos and place any additional orders online. The ordering process is simple and secure. The gallery will only be available for 2 weeks (a reminder email will be sent out before it expires, so don't worry)!
Please note: Orders cannot be placed after the gallery expires.
Delivery
All printed products will be charged shipping and mailed directly to your home. MA Sales Tax will be applied to albums, framed art, and prints at checkout. If you purchase digital files they will be available in your gallery to select and download to your computer.

Thank you so much for investing in portraits of your family! The prints are archival quality with a beautiful finish and the albums are beautiful flat lays with thick pages and linen covers. I know you’ll enjoy them for many years to come.
