OCTOBER 2026

It's that time of year,

where it's WAY too hot outside to think about Fall, but also too close to Fall to not have a plan for family photos. I know, it's a hectic time. Kids just started back to school and we're already thinking about Fall?!

The truth is, Fall is the busiest time for photographers, and Fall Petites book out incredibly fast. So before you forget, get your session reserved now! You'll thank me in October.

"Love, love, LOVE our photos from our 6 month session with Gaia photography. Working with Sadie was such a pleasure. She made the whole process from beginning to end so easy and stress-free. My only regret is not having found her sooner! 10/10 recommend!!"

FAQ

How long does it take to get our photos delivered?

My contracted time is 4-6 weeks, however most galleries are delivered within 2. I am excellent at keeping my clients in the loop with a current ETA and sending updates as I get closer to their delivery date :)

What if my kids are unruly?

Then you're going to get some great pictures back! Honestly, the kids that aren't afraid to have fun create some of my best work. On a serious note though, I take the first few minutes while everyone is still shy to grab a few formal portraits, and then after that we play games and have fun. I take a prompted approach to photography, so no one will ever have to wonder what to do with their hands. And at the very end, I give every single kiddo under 12 a thank-you gift (which works great as an additional insentive)

Will you help me style my family?

Absolutely! Once you finish booking, I'll immediately send over a style and session guide to help your family plan. If you have additional questions or need extra assistance, just let me know and I am happy to help!

What is weather takes a turn for the worst?

The fun part of being a photographer for as long as I have been is knowing that weather is just part of the game. But don't worry! I keep an eye on the radar at all times, and will always give you plenty of a heads up if we need to reschedule. If a reschedule is needed, I will give you a list of alternative dates for you to choose from.

Can I purchase more images if I like more than 25?

Yes, your gallery will include 40 images. You can either select your favorite 25 to download, or you can upgrade to the full gallery for an additional $200.

Have a question I haven't answered here?
