FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much do professional portraits cost in Chattanooga?
Session fees vary by session type, with most families investing between $600–$1,200 in heirloom-quality artwork. Visit the Experience + Investment page to learn what’s included and explore options by session type.
What’s included with a portrait session?
Every session includes a planning consultation, styling guidance, a relaxed portrait experience, and a private reveal and ordering appointment. You’ll walk away with images you love and custom artwork to treasure.
Do you offer both in-studio and outdoor sessions?
Yes! Sessions can take place in my cozy Chattanooga studio or at a local outdoor location. We’ll discuss the best fit for your vision during your planning consultation.
How far in advance should I book my maternity or newborn session?
Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 28–34 weeks. Newborn sessions are booked by your due date and finalized once baby arrives. Early booking ensures availability—especially for newborns and births!
What should we wear for our family or newborn session?
I provide wardrobe guidance and access to a curated client closet for mamas and little ones. We’ll choose colors and styles that photograph beautifully and feel like you.
How long does a session last?
Most sessions last around an hour, depending on the session type. Mini (Petite) sessions are around 30 minutes, while newborn and toddler sessions may take a bit longer to allow for breaks and flexibility.
Can I just purchase digital images?
Yes! You’ll have the option to purchase digital images at your reveal appointment. You can choose a small collection or the full gallery—plus, enjoy savings on prints and products when bundling.
Do you photograph births or Fresh 48 sessions at hospitals?
Absolutely. I offer both hospital-based Fresh 48 sessions and on-call birth photography. Availability is limited for birth sessions, so please reach out early to reserve your spot on the calendar.
Do you work with preschools or offer school photo days?
Yes! I provide modern, personality-filled portraits for preschools and daycares in the Chattanooga and North Georgia area. Reach out to learn how to bring these to your school or center.
