	<li>I shoot on location as opposed to in a studio. Rather than a solid backdrop where everyone smiles at the camera and says cheese for 20 minutes, I want your photos to have personality and life to them. I want to capture a true reflection of you and your family and the relationships you have with each other. If your family has certain places that are meaningful to you -- your back yard, particular parks, etc. -- we can certainly take photos in those spots. Likewise, if there are certain activities your family enjoys doing together -- painting, baking, cuddling on the bed, etc. -- I would love to capture your family during these moments so that these fleeting moments can be preserved. (Clients are responsible for admission fees to locations of their choice, if applicable.) If you would like suggestions or would like me to choose locations I think will be nice, I am more than happy to do that as well.</li>
	<li>Sessions usually last between 1 - 3 hours, more or less depending on location changes, wardrobe changes, and number of people in the photos. I prefer to shoot in the early morning or an hour or two before sunset as these are the best times for natural light, but I'm also very flexible as I know not everyone's schedules will align perfectly into those time frames.</li>
	<li>When choosing what to wear, avoid clothes with large logos or words on them, as they are distracting. In group photos, it's best to choose clothes that go together. This doesn't mean that everyone has to wear the exact same thing (although that's great as well), but loosely coordinating colors/patterns will help tie everything together. Outfits can be as formal or informal as you like. I would also love to document this special time in your child's life, sparks of their personality that you would like to remember. If they have certain clothes combinations that they currently love (no matter how odd!) that you would like to remember, feel free to let them wear them for a few shots! Or if they have certain blankets, toys, etc. that they cannot part with, you're welcome to include them in a few shots. I want these photos to be memorable and special to you.</li>
	<li>Often my favorite portraits are the ones that look the most natural as opposed to perfectly posed and planned, so try to relax! Sometimes parents are so nervous that their child is not saying 'cheese' in every photo that it's more difficult to capture a happy, natural expression from the adults than their young children!</li>
	<li>I take a lot of photos at my sessions, but don't expect to see hundreds of proofs. From each session, you will probably have approximately 25 - 35 great shots to choose from, all of which will be touched up by myself. From these photos, you will have the opportunity to buy digital negatives, prints, or other products such as albums, custom storyboards, holiday/announcement/event cards, etc. (See <a href="http://shannonhuntphotography.com/blog/about-the-session/pricing/">Pricing</a> for more details.)</li>
	<li>Your photos will be available for online viewing and ordering within 1 - 2 weeks of your portrait session and will continue to be available for viewing and ordering for 2 months after they are posted. Once they are taken down, there is a $75 minimum print/digital image order required for re-viewing and ordering.</li>
