The FAQ

What style of a photographer are you?

My portraits of you and your family will capture your emotion, connection, and time capsule your beautiful everyday moments. My style is a blend of lifestyle and traditional portraits with occasional documentary images. As your photographer, my goal is to make images that reflect the gift of your imperfect beauty. To show you the fine art of your everyday life.

When should we schedule our newborn session?

The ideal time to plan a newborn session is within the first month of life. However even after the first month we can capture your family in this new phase and make beautiful pictures to document your new arrival.

What should we do to prepare for an indoor session?

You absolutely do not have to professionally or personally clean your house from top to bottom. As a mother of two little ones, I fully understand the precious time you have as a parent. You will want to clear the clutter from a few rooms but leave useful clutter that would normally be present in your life (i.e. hats on the hat rack, blanket on the couch). I will ask you to send me pictures of your rooms in advance to plan out your session and determine where the light will be best for pictures and to plan creative portraits in advance.

Where will our portrait session be located?

Together we will choose the best location for your portrait session. Newborn sessions are held at your home. Motherhood, Maternity, and Family sessions can be outdoor or in your home.

What should we wear?

In general you always want to wear clothes you feel comfortable in and clothes that align with your individual styles. Once you book your session I will coordinate with you by providing suggestions and send you an extensive What to Wear Guide. I will provide individualized advice for your particular type of session as well.

How do we book you for a session?

You can e-mail me directly at kristensaulnierphotography @ gmail dot com or via the contact tab on my website.

How far out do you book?

My sessions book two to nine months in advance. If you are interested in newborn portraits, please inquire during your pregnancy. If you have already delivered and would like to schedule an indoor session please contact me as I leave occasional openings for newborn sessions.

How many photos will we receive from the portrait session?

Depending on the package you choose you will get to select a specific number of portraits from a proofing sheet or choose to purchase the entire gallery for one price.

When will our photographs be ready for viewing?

Within four weeks time from the date of your photography session.

Can you help us with planning?

Yes! We will determine the ideal location based on your preferences, family dynamic, and the type of session you are interested in. I will provide you with a questionnaire after scheduling to learn more about your individual motherhood story and any background that will allow me to provide the best service to you and your family.

How will we receive our portraits?

You will receive a link to a private online gallery to access and download digital images once editing is completed.
