Frequently Asked Questions

where do you suggest we print our pictures?

For the best color, quality, and longevity, I recommend ordering prints directly through your online gallery. The professional lab I partner with produces beautiful archival-quality prints that match your gallery perfectly and are designed to last for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

i am afraid a mini won’t be long enough for my family. can we extend the time?

Mini sessions are perfect for quick, updated photos, but they're not the best fit for every family. If you'd like more variety, outfit changes, multiple locations, or a slower pace, a full session is likely the better option. I'm always happy to help you decide which session best fits your needs.
