FAQ: What You Really Want to Know

Q: What if my child refuses to cooperate?
A: Happens all the time! I work magic with kids—whether it’s jokes, games, or letting them take a ‘pretend’ photo with my camera first. Plus, I can turn a pout into a masterpiece.

Q: What should we wear?
A: Coordinated, but not matching! Think soft colors, flowy dresses, and textures (linen, lace, knits). And please, avoid neon—unless your goal is to glow like a highlighter.

A: No worries! We’ll reschedule if Mother Nature decides to throw a tantrum.

Q: Do you Photoshop us to perfection?
A: I enhance, not transform. You’ll still look like you—just with extra glow, better lighting, and zero toddler snot on your shirt.
