Where do the sessions take place?
Sessions take place in your home, at a park (I can recommend a fabulous park) or at another location of our choosing.  For newborn or  very young babies, I recommend the shoot take place at your home, where they’re the most comfortable and you are the most relaxed.

Do you have a studio?
No.  At this time I have no studio, nor do I desire to have a studio.  I love what I do.  I enjoy my work and my clients, but when I do get overworked, I can walk away from the business for a few weeks without having the stress of studio overhead. I come back refreshed and ready to do my best work again.

When is the best time to schedule & take newborn photographs?
* The best time to take newborn photographs is within the first two weeks of birth - ideally in the first week. Babies grow and change rapidly, and the tiny newborn stage doesn’t last very long.
* The best time to schedule newborn photographs is before the baby is born. Call me about two months before you’re due. I’ll put you on my calendar to make sure I have a time available for you when your little one arrives.

What is the typical client like? How do I know if you’re the right photographer for me?
This is a very important question. I may be the right photographer for you, but then again, I may not be. First look through the images on my website. If these look like the type of images you want, then it would be worth shooting me an email or calling me to talk.  If you have something completely different in mind, it would not hurt to call me, but I will be completely honest with you as to whether or not I am the right choice for you.

I am a no-nonsense kind of person.  I want you to fall in love with the images I capture of your child(ren). I take my time with your kids, engage them, befriend them, act silly with them, whatever I need to do to get the shot.  Your job is simple: 1. make sure they are safe, and 2. relax and allow me to work with them.  It’s really a simple process - I try not to make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Are you hiring?
No. At this time I have no openings.

Do you offer any teaching or training?

I don’t have any official seminars or classes to offer, but if you are an aspiring photographer looking for help in understanding how to work that confusing DSLR (or film SLR) I can highly recommend a few great books for you as a starting point:

• Understanding Exposure, by Bryan Peterson
• Photography, by London, Stone & Upton

I do not offer business or business startup advice other than this:  please be selective and cautious in jumping into expensive photography workshops.  There is a plethora of information availble in books and online.  I cringe when I see honest, hard working people throwing money away on workshops that will teach them little more than what a free library book could have taught.   A few seminars may be worth the money - but many won’t be.
