Why invest in portrait photography?

"The days are long but the years are short." These words ring true to me as a mom who's been in the game for more than a decade. It feels like forever when you're waiting for your baby to be born but then time accelerates. Without visual prompts to keep the memory alive, these days will fade. I invite you to think about how you'd like these special moments preserved not just for you to remember but also for your child.

FAQ

When do I get my photos?

Most photo sessions have a four to six week turn around time after the session date. You can pay a rush fee to receive your photo gallery two weeks sooner.

When is the best time to photograph my newborn baby's session?

The ideal time frame is when the baby is between 3 and 12 days old. But I get that sometimes in those early days it's hard to get anything done so I take newborns up to six weeks of age. After that time we will have to set different expectations for the session.

Can I bring my own props?

All props including blankets, hats, wraps, and headbands are provided by the photographer and will be available for your newborn session. If you have one or two special keepsakes we can include them in your session.

How long will the session be?

Newborn sessions (including a Just Baby Session & Baby + Family Session, up to six weeks old) can take from 60 to 90 minutes to accommodate feeding and settling of the baby.
Portrait sessions (including maternity, family, and older babies) typically run around 45 to 60 minutes.

Why do you offer print credit with each collection?

All too often life gets in the way and images sit in the cloud indefinitely. Being able to see and touch your images on a regular basis around your house brings those memories back to life.
Additionally, as a business professional I have exclusive access to photography labs that are not available to the general public. The quality and craftmanship you will receive from these labs is exceptional. These products will become treasured heirlooms for your family.

What should I wear?

Ultimately what you wear depends on what you're comfortable in. That being said, I have a section in my client prep guide for tips and tricks on dressing for your session.

Where are sessions held?

All sessions are held on location in either the client's home or at an outdoor location around Utah County (depending on the type of session). Travel more than 30 miles outside of Springville, Utah will incur travel charges.

Can we keep our photos private?

Yes. I love sharing my most recent work as it is very important to show potential clients what I can do. However I understand some families prefer to control where they appear online and it is your choice whether to allow me to share your images (either with or without your name) or to decline to sign a model release thus keeping your images private.

“Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our baby was comfortable during the entire photoshoot. We're first time parents and were stressed out about having to adjust to having a newborn and getting the photoshoot done, but Jessica really put our minds at ease. She sends clear and detailed suggestions and tips before the session to ensure we prepped our baby for a successful shoot. The photos came out so amazing and beyond all our expectations, we are so pleased with her service and her work.”
