Got Questions?
-
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?I get it, this is Central Illinois - weather can be unpredictable! While cloudy days can be perfect for a photo shoot (talk about natural light diffusion!), rain is most certainly not. I will check the weather a couple days out from the scheduled shoot and will touch base with you to communicate status and other relevant details. If the weather is NOT going to cooperate, we will find a better day OR refund your investment minus the nonrefundable deposit.
-
Can you do some light retouching?Yes! In fact, I will do more than light retouching - my hand-editing process includes minimizing blemishes or distracting elements. It's all part of your session! If advanced editing is needed we can talk about your options and related costs so you can decide how you want to proceed.
-
What if my kiddos don't cooperate?My job is to engage the whole family - including the kids - so you don't have to worry about it. I'll use play to interact with your littles, from running to bubbles to Simon Says. For you teens, I'll throw in some humor like dad jokes or puns, encouraging them to laugh at me (if not at my jokes)! And if some photos in your gallery include a scowl or some tears, sometimes THAT is the best reflection of the season your family is in. Embrace the moment and treasure the memory!
-
Can we include our dog?Your dog is absolutely part of your family - you are welcome to bring your little pup along! It is also ideal to have someone come with you to entertain the pooch when they aren't in the frame, so you and your family can get the most out of your photo shoot. And remember, it's my job to get the pup to peek my way so leave it to me to get the prefect shots!
Hi! I'm Amanda
With two teenagers at home, I am - or have been! - were you are. Things change in a blink, and babies sure don't keep.
I cherish my family photos that record my memories so they last for years to come.
I'd love to help you do the same, capturing the memories of your current season of life for your family while you can.
You'll always be able to "remember when" because you've made your memories last!
