Frequently Asked Questions.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION?

While your experience with Jenny Leigh Photography will vary depending on what type of session it is (Maternity, Birth, Newborn or Family), each session is individualized for you and is guaranteed to be full of smiles and laughter.  For photography sessions that include newborns, Jenny Leigh’s 18 years of experience shows in her expert handling of your little ones with their safety as her #1 priority. Feel free to contact Jenny to discuss specifics about your shoot!

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR TO A PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION?

What to wear to a photography session is a very common question – and it all depends on the location, time of year, and your personal style! Here are some suggestions:

Make sure your clothes are comfortable! Any discomfort will show in the photographs, and you want to look as comfortable as you feel!

Think about the setting, and who will be in the portraits. While you don’t have to match outfits exactly, coordinating colors and patterns will look lovely and stylish.

Some people may warn away from patterns – Jenny suggests otherwise! Patterns can be a great way to brighten up your photographs and express your style. Just be sure the clothing doesn’t feature large or intrusive logos.

When considering hairstyles and accessories, be sure to choose ones that do not detract from the face – your beautiful smiles should be the focal point!

For additional help with outfit coordination and choices, Jenny Leigh is available for in-home consultations for an additional fee.

WHEN ARE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS DONE?

While the optimal time is 6-10 days after birth, Jenny Leigh has photographed babies as old as 3-5 weeks. They are at their sleepiest during the first few days, so if you want those adorable sleepy baby images then book your session during that timeframe!

WHEN WILL WE SEE OUR PROOFS?

Your big reveal will take place one week after your session. (Bring the tissues!)

WHEN WILL OUR PRODUCT ORDER BE READY?

HOW MUCH SHOULD I PLAN TO INVEST?
