Good Information to Have

Although there is no specific amount of allotted time, portrait sessions are generally 1 hour long (newborns generally take 2-3 hours) and take place at the Andover, MA studio, a nearby park or your home. Due to the nature of newborn sessions, all newborn sessions take place at the studio Monday through Friday.

All full sessions include siblings and parents at no extra charge. This is important to me! I want to include you if you’d like to be included. There are up to five people covered in the session fee. If you’d like to invite Grandma, or your kids’ special Auntie, no problem! You can add additional people for a fee. Your gallery will ultimately be bigger and there is a larger minimum order required for family portraits with over 5 people so please contact me today for your custom quote.

Your portraits will be hand edited resulting in a gallery of at least 30 color images plus black and white conversions for a total of 60 images. Around 2-3 weeks after the date of your session your in-person or online gallery viewing, design and ordering consultation will take place.

There is a 50% retainer due at time of booking to reserve your due date or specific session time and date. The remainder is due on the date of the session. There are payment plans available.

Please note the studio is open Monday – Friday with rare exceptions for pre-planned mini sessions.

Mini Milestone Session 

(Mini sessions are not always available to be booked. Please contact Kate to inquire today.)

Mini milestone sessions include one child only and are shorter in time than a full length session. All mini milestone sessions take place at the studio. Your gallery will include at least 10 hand edited, professionally retouched images to choose from. Those color portraits are converted to black and white for a total of 20 photos. All digital files are included in the price and you will automatically receive those.

Baby’s 1st Year Milestone Portrait Packages

Check out the Baby’s 1st Year Portrait Packages page for information on capturing major milestone dates during your baby’s first year. A lot changed during that first year of baby’s life and these packages include two more complimentary sessions for your baby’s 2nd and 3rd birthday.

Mini Milestone Session Marathon Days

A few times a year special mini session days are planned for you to get your family or child’s portrait updated. Location is pre-determined and time is available and booked on a first come, first served basis. To make sure you are the first to know about these be sure to add yourself to the (very occasional) email newsletter list. Examples of these sessions are: fall outdoor family portraits, Christmas studio & Santa mini sessions, Easter & Spring mini sessions, Mommy & Me mini sessions and sometimes Valentine’s Day mini sessions.

 Please contact me below to book your session today! Let’s make art together that you will cherish forever.

I firmly believe that your family portraits are meant to be seen. Whether you plan on displaying your new artwork on the walls of your home, in an album that can be passed down through the generations or on a custom case for your iPhone (all of the above!), the time to think about what to do with your professional photos is now.
