Kansas City Photography FAQs
What if I'm not happy with the way I currently look?
We hear this all the time and you're not alone! But here's the truth . . . your kids don't see "flaws", they see mom. Years from now, they'll treasure the way you hold them, smiled at them, loved them -- just as you are right now. My job is to pose you naturally and use flattering angles so you feel confident and beautiful.
We get it -- life is BUSY! My goal is to take just enough of your time to get you beautiful images. The phone pre-consultation means I'll be setup and ready when you arrive. Plus, we offer flexible scheduling, including Saturday sessions when possible so things don't have to feel so rushed.
How do I fit this into our crazy busy schedule?
Isn't this kind of expensive?
Professional photography is an investment -- but one with lasting value and worth every penny.
We sell the digital images so you can make your own prints (or we can help with that too!). You can expect to spend $385 to $745 on your digital package, depending on how many images you wish to get. (payment plans are available)!
What if I have trouble figuring out the details?
We realize it's stressful to get everything coordinated and everyone ready! But you don't have to do it alone. We'll guide you through styling, prep tips, and how to keep things easy going for the kids (and grown ups too)! Sessions are relaxed and fun -- we capture real moments, not perfection.
What if my partner doesn't want to do this?
I work fast and the session lasts just long enough to get the images. I've been doing this a long time. I know kids and hubbies don't last long. LOL! Our pre-consultation helps me to be setup and ready when you arrive.
What if the kids don't cooperate?
No worries -- I'm a pro at working with wiggly, wild, or shy little ones. I've learned many tricks over the years. We play, we laugh, and we follow their lead. Some of the best photos come from unplanned moments!
