I like to check the weather 1-2 days before our session date because the forecast changes so much. I will check in with you to see what you’re thinking if the weather isn’t what you had in mind. I’m happy to reschedule and will send you a list of other dates I’m available.

Overcast lighting is actually my preferred weather to take photos in. So don’t be alarmed when the forecast says partly cloudy!

I always have clear umbrellas in the car. If it unexpectedly rains while we are already at our session, we will still try to take a few photos and come back another day when the weather is better.

Of course not! All the tips I included are to help you imagine your dream engagement session, and you don’t have to do anything that doesn’t feel right. No activity means more time for beautiful portraits.

An hour gives us the perfect amount of time at one beautiful location. If we try to go elsewhere, we’ll feel rushed! If we are walking distance or just 5 minutes away from another location, that’s totally fine!

If you would like to go to two locations, we can switch your package to a 2 hour session!

Timing really depends on the weather!

• In the Spring and Summer, usually an hour before sunset gives us perfect golden hour lighting.

• In the Fall and Winter, morning or early afternoon is best because it’s the brightest part of the day.

• Sometimes we’ll pick the only hour in the forecast where it isn’t raining!

Your full gallery will be finished exactly one month after our session!

• For example, if we took photos on 2/17, you’ll get sneaks on the 19th, and your full gallery 3/17.
