As a mom of littles, I understand. My sessions are child-led. Come prepared with snacks and water and whatever else your child needs to help them self-regulate as they get tired. I start my sessions with the kids. While they snack, I will photograph the couple. Shooting at ‘golden hour’ gives me the creative space to capture your family for which you hired me. :)
06. I have young kids and they go to bed early. Can we shoot at a different time besides ‘golden hour’?
My weekends are spent with my family. To avoid crowds and create a more meaningful experience, sessions take place during the week.
05. Do you shoot on weekends?
Our sessions are carefully planned for your immediate family. If mom or grandma want to join you for moral support or help entertain the kids while we photograph you as a couple, sure! Please, advise your support team that personal cameras/videos including phones are not permitted to be in use during the session.
04. Can I bring additional family members to the session?
For current information on: Washington State Parks Discover Pass, visit here. National Park Passes, visit here. National Forest Service Passes, visit here.
03. How do I get a state/national park pass if needed?
Sure. Email me and I’ll send over some referrals.
02. Can you recommend anyone for hair and makeup?
Depends on the type of session. If we did not talk about this prior to booking your session, please email me to discuss further.
01. Are outfit changes allowed?
Have a question? I've got an answer! And if you don't see your question here, please reach out via email: hello@roxannemutzphotography.com.
