What to Expect
Before The Session
The Styling Appointment – We’ll schedule your appointment 2-4 weeks before your session. It will be at the studio in Lafayette. At this meeting, you’ll have the opportunity to try on clothes from The Curated Closet, and we will begin planning the details of your session. We will also discuss in more detail the location you selected and develop a plan for the artwork you wish to have for your home.
I will finalize your hair and makeup appointments and communicate any finishing touches to the family’s wardrobe.
I will send a detailed list of preparations for more on ensuring a smooth session.
During the Session
Your hair and makeup will be done with our professionals. For newborn sessions in the studio, we schedule your appointments at the beginning of your session to be done while I am photographing your baby’s individual images. For outdoor or in-home sessions, we will schedule your appointment prior to the session. If you have specific ideas about the look you would like, please feel free to bring pictures.
You have the outfits picked out, and it’s time for your session. Relax and enjoy! Whether we are in the studio, in your home, or outdoors, I will guide your family throughout the entire session allowing your children to lead me. We will talk, play with kids, cuddle babies — whatever feels right. Have fun and soak up your family!
