How long is a Portrait Session?

The length of your shoot depends on a few factors.

Maternity portraits go quicker when it’s the couple’s first baby since there aren’t any siblings yet to be a part of the session.

With newborn sessions, we keep the timeline flexible because little babies can be unpredictable.

Family Photos with little kids tend to be less than an hour because we get the shots we need right away and then the kiddos are done.

We plan for an hour.


Sometimes we’re done sooner than that.


It’s safe to block out an hour.


I like to keep it simple, efficient and fun.

I have a workflow with a specific shot list.

We go through this workflow to make sure we get the shots we need. 

We also make time for some candid style portraits throughout the session.

I’m all about keeping it relaxed and simple.

I want this experience to be easy and fun for everyone.
