FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS

1. What time do photography sessions begin?

Sessions are scheduled one to two hours before sunset to take advantage of the soft, even lighting. On cloudy or overcast days, we may start earlier, and these adjustments will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

If you’re concerned about the timing for your little ones, I completely understand! Here are a few suggestions: (1) consider adding an extra nap or adjusting their nap schedule, (2) schedule your session in the spring or fall when the sun sets earlier, or (3) opt for an in-home or in-studio session (additional studio fees apply).

2. What is required to book a session?

To secure your standalone session, a signed contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer are required. The remaining balance is due by 9 PM the day before our scheduled session.

For the Firsts Membership, a signed contract, and $200 non-refundable retainer locks in your monthly rate and offers priority scheduling. Future payments will be divided evenly, monthly across the duration of your membership.

3. My kid can be a handful! Are you comfortable working with energetic little ones?

I can promise you I've got your covered when it comes to your wild littles ones! We'll get the shot! Even if they can't sit still for five minutes or they only want to be held by mom, we will make it happen. Even if you tell me they are the exception, I promise you, I'm pretty good with kids. Even my toughest little companions have cracked and given me a smile or two.

4. what if the weather is bad?

If the weather is likely to affect our session, I’ll reach out with options. If it’s cloudy and you were hoping for sunny sunset vibes, I’ll offer a reschedule date if my availability allows—though this isn’t always possible. I do plan for rescheduled dates in my calendar, so I appreciate your flexibility, especially during the spring and fall months.

5. when should i book my maternity session?

The sweet spot for maternity sessions is typically between 28 and 32 weeks! However, I’ve had many mamas who prefer to schedule their shoots either a bit earlier or later, depending on how their bump is looking and feeling. Each pregnancy is unique, and I’m happy to accommodate your preferences to ensure you feel comfortable and confident during the session. Ultimately, we want to capture that beautiful glow at the perfect time for you!

6. what can i expect during my lifestyle newborn session?

All of my sessions embrace a relaxed, storytelling vibe, which is why I adore lifestyle newborn sessions. I love capturing the special connection between you and your new baby while incorporating unique elements of your home to make each session truly one-of-a-kind.

I focus on all those precious details—like tiny eyelashes, little feet, and adorable rolls—that you’ll cherish forever. These are the kinds of photos I treasure of my own little ones, and I know you’ll feel the same about yours.

I provide newborn blankets, bows, swaddle wraps, and baskets to use during our session. We’ll work with natural window light to create beautiful images. If you’re concerned about lighting or prefer not to shoot in your home, I can recommend some fantastic studios that are perfect for indoor newborn sessions.

7. when can i expect my gallery?

Sessions typically take about 2-3 weeks to complete. However, during busier months like fall, this may extend to around 3-4 weeks.

Certain galleries, such as newborn or extended family sessions, might take a bit longer. If I anticipate needing extra time, I’ll be sure to keep you updated throughout the process.

8. Do you offer mini sessions?

Yes, I offer a few mini sessions throughout the year, especially around Christmas, typically one per season. To stay in the loop about when these mini sessions become available, be sure to sign up for my email newsletter!

While I enjoy mini sessions, I often hear parents say, "My kid(s) can only handle a short session." However, I’ve found that children really thrive in longer storytelling sessions. Having the time to explore, connect with their environment, and get comfortable with the photographer can make a significant difference. Often, by the end of a mini session, my younger clients are just starting to open up and reveal their true personalities.

I love offering my clients a complete experience—getting to know your family, understanding what works best for your kid(s), and capturing a gallery filled with all those sweet little details!

For Motherhood and Milestone Bundles, a signed contract is also necessary, along with a 20% non-refundable retainer to confirm your sessions. Future payments will be divided evenly across the remaining sessions, and each payment is due by 9 PM the day before our scheduled dates.

Shelby has been our photographer for several years and every photo shoot is super fun, quick, and she captures all the good stuff which can be a challenge with a very active 5 year old!. Exceeds expectations!

Jana

"Exceeds expectations!"



 Shelby exceeded our expectations. She was great and easy to work with. She did everything in her power to make our photoshoot perfect. We have received nothing but compliments on our photos and how great out photographer was. We agree! We look forward to working with Shelby for years to come. 

Chelsea

"She did everything in her power to make our photoshoot perfect."



Shelby was absolutely incredible to work with. . She consistently makes us feel comfortable and makes sure that we don’t miss meaningful opportunities to just be together. Her photos look so authentically happy because she made the session that way. We got a variety of photos despite having a toddler and a dog who didn’t always want to cooperate. Also, as a mother, I feel as if I am constantly attending to everyone’s needs (fixing someone’s hair, etc). Shelby made sure that I never had to do it, and also took care of ME. It’s very apparent that Shelby loves what she does and that she will put in way more effort than you would ever expect. You will not be disappointed!

The energy and fun that Shelby brought to our mini session was contagious. She captured the personalities of my entire family beautifully! Our pictures turned out amazing and I will definitely recommend Cedar and Lace!
