FAQ | Hudson WI Family & Wedding Photographer
When should we book our session or wedding?
For families, I recommend reach out 4-8 weeks in advance, especially for fall sessions & newborns. Weddings are usually booked 9-18 months ahead when possible. If you have a date in mind, don't hesitate to reach out - even if it feels last minute. I'm always happy to see what I have available.
How much does photography cost?
Every family and wedding is a little different, so collections are designed around the experience and coverage you need. I'll walk you through the options and help you choose what makes the most sense for you - without feeling pressured to purchase more than you need. Inquire for current pricing and availability.
What should we wear to our session?
The goal is to look like you, just a little more polished. I love soft, timeless colors, coordinating rather than perfectly matching, and pieces with beautiful texture (like linen) and movement (like chiffon or silk). Once you're booked, I'll help guide you through wardrobe choices so everyone feels comfortable and looks cohesive in your final images.
What is the session experiece like?
Relaxed. Warm. And hopefully a lot more fun than you're expecting. You don't need to know how to pose, an dyour kids certainly don't need to behave perfectly. I'll gently guide you when needed while leaving plenty of room for the real moments to unfold. My goal is for you to leave your session feeling like you just spent time with a friend - not like you survived a photo shoot.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I know investing in photography is something families and couples often plan for, so payment plans are available. We’ll go over the payment schedule when you book so everything feels simple and comfortable from the beginning.
How long will it take to receive our photos?
I know how exciting it is to see your images, so I never want you wondering when they’ll arrive. Family galleries are typically delivered within 2–3 weeks, while wedding galleries are delivered within 6–8 weeks. You’ll always have a clear expectation for your gallery before your session or wedding day.
Do you offer printed products?
Absolutely—and this is one of my favorite parts of what I do. Your photographs deserve to live somewhere beyond your phone. I offer beautiful heirloom-quality prints, framed artwork, albums, and other tangible products designed to complement your home. We can create something intentional and meaningful with the images you love most.
Do you travel?
Yes! While I’m based in Hudson, WI, I regularly photograph families and weddings throughout the St. Croix Valley, Stillwater, River Falls, and Twin Cities. Travel beyond the immediate area is also available. If you have a special location in mind, just ask—I love a good excuse to explore somewhere new.
