FAQ's
-
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY NEWBORN SESSION?We typically do not book newborn sessions until the little one arrives or within the week of delivery (scheduled induction or c-sections). Sessions should be done when baby is between 3-11 days new. The younger the betterif you want those adorable, squishy baby poses. We leave openings weekly for newborns and are able to get you in within the week we are contacted!!! If baby is over 11 days old we ARE STILL ABLE to do a newborn session. But please be aware that typically as an infant gets older they get more aware of their surroundings and less accommodating to posing and new people handling them.
-
WHEN SHOULD A MATERNITY SESSION BE BOOKED?Between 24-32 weeks is best. When your belly is definitely present but hopefully before the swelling and serious discomfort truly sets in. But, YES - We have done maternity sessions at 22 weeks and 39 weeks!!
-
HOW LONG UNTIL I GET MY GALLERY?Truly as soon as we possibly can!! Typically around 2 weeks. During fall and Christmas we may run around 3 weeks. If you have a deadline you must meet for the photographs we do offer a 3 day guaranteed turnaround for an extra cost. Please contact Abbie if you would like to purchase a rush.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?As you can see on our page we prefer a great mix of PATTERNS and TEXTURES in our photos!! Anything that will create visual interest!! Have fun, go bold! Get FANCY!! Bring accessories to switch out mid way through. If you are stuck on "this top or that? These shoes or those?" Show us BOTH!! We can help!! The best advice on what color to choose is what colors are in the room you plan on hanging these portraits after you get them framed!? Why go formal with black shirts and khakis when your living room is quirky reds, yellows and blue? As for sessions of just your little ones, have fun picking their outfits. Bring on the tutus and tiaras, bow ties and suspender!! AND YES, we are more than happy to collaborate with you! So send us your thoughts, Pinterest shots, and favorite ideas and we can discuss them all! Text Abbie (our photographer) with all your styling questions!! 501-817-1818 Also if you are interested in incorporating our client closet text her to let her know. We have a great variety of outfits for all sizes kids and for mom!
-
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?You can bring anything and everything or nothing at all. We have 90% of all the props you see in our photographs for in studio sessions as well as much much more. But you are of course more than welcome to bring your ideas with you! We love working with new props and creating new shots. As for a cake smash sessions, we DO NOT PROVIDE THE CAKE OR BALLOONS (5 or 6 balloons do the trick). We have a few birthday banners but advise you to bring your own to go with your theme to ensure the best setup. Prior to your session let us know what colors, themes and shots you have in mind and we can let you know what props we have and what we don't have.
-
WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU TAKE AND WHEN DO I PAY?We use Email Invoicing where you can use a Master Card, debit or credit card to pay your deposit at the time of booking. An email reminder will be sent the day of your session with the remaining balance of your session fee. This must be paid no later than the conclusion of the Session. If you need accommodations with another payment or if you would like to set up a payment plan please Contact Abbie with your desired payment method or plan and we will do our best to work with you.

I'VE LOST MY DIGITALS! DO YOU STILL HAVE MY IMAGES?YESSSS!! We keep all edited images from every session that we have ever done! JUST ASK and we will re email the purchased digitals to you.

CAN YOU EDIT THIS BRUISE, PIMPLE, RED BUMP AND SO ON OUT?Our answer...we will do our best. We try to keep facial editing to a minimum. As you can probably see in our portfolio. We try to keep faces looking natural. With that being said, YES! we can edit the majority of the crumbs, snot, pimples and bruises out, If you receive your images and notice a small edit change that hadn't been taken care of please let us know!

TODDLER TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SESSIONWhen photographing little ones I hate to admit it but... BRIBERY IS KEY!!! Gummies, Skittles, Tic Tacs, small crackers, Cheese Puffs, or Cherrios. Small one bite snacks are best as they limit the amount of shots of your little one holding the snack. This is especially useful when photographing children under 2. As you can hopefully see in our portfolio we try to give a good variety of formal posed as well as beautiful candid. The ratio of formals vs. candid is completely dependent upon the cooperation of the younger ones. Now, please keep in mind that Abbie has four crazy little sons that are not for the faint of heart who have done and said it all. With that being said, please do not feel embarrassed when tantrums happen. Unruly kiddos is a part of our every day life, in studio and at home! Do not feel like the shoot is going terribly because of a tantrum. A little photographers secret... almost every baby gives half smiles in between cries, sort of. Once the frown lines, crocodile tears and eye redness are photo shopped out!! Don't feel your shoot was a waste of time or money if your little one wasn't in the best of moods. Remember snacks can be edited out, tears can be edited out, some bumps and bruises can be edited out and worst case scenario... you get a "It's my birthday and I can cry if I want to shot" shot! Who doesn't love those for the family photo album!?
