What if we’ve never had professional photos before?
Most families I work with haven’t either. I’ll guide you gently while still leaving room for your family to just be. You don’t need to perform—you just need to show up. I’ll take care of the rest.

​

Can we include grandparents or pets?
Yes and yes. Bring the people (and animals) that make your life rich. Dogs in the garden, grandpa’s hands holding a toddler—they belong in the frame.

​

What should we bring?
Snacks for the little ones, a favorite lovey or blanket, and anything that keeps comfort close. If you’re doing an outdoor session, I’ll also send tips for shoes (or no shoes at all).

​

When will we get our photos back?
Your full gallery will be delivered within 3-4 weeks, hand-edited and ready to download. 

​

What if the weather is bad?
If it’s Nebraska-windy or flat-out pouring, we’ll reschedule. But moody skies or a light mist? Sometimes those give the most cinematic magic. I’ll help you decide.

​

Do you travel for family sessions?
Yes—within Nebraska and beyond. If your story takes place on a lake, in the mountains, or at a family farm, I’ll meet you there.

​

Do you offer prints or albums?
Absolutely. Digital photos are great—but holding them in your hands? That’s where the real legacy lives. I offer heirloom-quality prints, albums, and keepsakes made to last generations.

​

Will you pose us?
Gently. I’ll give direction when needed, but I’m more interested in movement than perfection. I might ask you to sit close, whisper something silly, or just breathe each other in.

​

What if someone is having a rough day?
That’s okay—those are often the most meaningful sessions. Real emotion is welcome here. We pause when we need to. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s presence.

​

Do you photograph newborns or maternity?
Yes, but always in my storytelling style. Think cozy in-home cuddles, soft textures, and honest connection—not studio setups or props. The beginning of your family story deserves to be felt, not styled.

​

Can we change outfits during the session?
One thoughtfully chosen outfit is plenty—but if you'd like to bring a second for variety or a quick change for littles, just let me know and we’ll build time in for it.

​

Can you help us choose the perfect location?
Always. I’ll recommend spots that match the feel you're after—whether that's wide-open skies, garden corners, or cozy at home. Location should feel like part of your story, not just a backdrop.

​

What age is best for family photos?
Any age. Every stage. Whether they’re in your belly, learning to walk, or halfway to grown—this is about freezing the now before it slips away.

​

Do you shoot sessions year-round?
Yes. Each season brings its own mood: the wild greens of summer, cozy knits in autumn, soft snowfalls, and sun-drenched spring. Whatever your chapter, we’ll make it art.
