Fall FAQ
Q: When is the best time to book a fall session?
A: Fall sessions fill up quickly, especially in peak foliage weeks (typically mid-October in our area). It's best to book 1-2 months in advance to secure your preferred date.
Q: Where will the photo session take place?
A: Most fall sessions take place in local parks, wooded areas, or trails in and around Manitowoc to capture the best seasonal colors. If you would like a particular location, make sure to let me know when booking!
Q: How do we receive our photos?
A: Your fully edited images will be delivered through an online gallery within 2-3 weeks of your session. You can download, share, and print your photos directly from the gallery. A print release is provided to allow clients to print photos at the lab of their choice as well.
Q: What happens if it rains?
A: In case of inclement weather, we will reschedule your session at no additional cost.
Q: Can extended families book a session together?
A: Yes! Extended family sessions are welcome and encouraged. Make sure to discuss the number of people at booking so we can plan accordingly.
Q: What if my child isn’t cooperating during the session?
A: Don’t worry! I have lots of experience working with children and always approach sessions with patience and flexibility. We’ll play games, take breaks if needed, and keep the mood light and fun.
Q: Can we include our pets in the session?
A: Absolutely! Pets are part of the family too. Just let me know ahead of time so I can help choose a pet-friendly location and prepare accordingly.
Q: Can we reschedule if someone gets sick?
A: Yes, I understand that things come up, especially with kids. Just let me know as soon as possible and we’ll find another date that works for everyone.
Q: How do I help my kids prepare for the session?
A: Make sure they’re well-rested and fed before the session. Bring snacks, water, and a favorite toy or comfort item. Talking to them about the session ahead of time can also help them feel more at ease.
Q: What if the leaves aren't vibrant yet when we have our session?
Typically from mid September through October the leaves are changing in color. If its a bit early for full color I can add in some warmer hues to give photos a fall feel. If the trees are bare there is generally a lot of color on the ground yet. Take a look at some examples in the location information below. If you have any questions always feel free to reach out!
