I’m so excited to capture some beautiful memories with you and your family! Please email me at kristinbrockmanphotography@gmail.com to reserve your photoshoot. For new clients, I’ll send you a short questionnaire to gather your family’s basic info, and we’ll schedule a phone call so that we can share ideas and work out the details for your family photos. Then I’ll email you a contract and invoice so you can easily sign and submit your retainer payment online to secure your photoshoot. Then comes the hardest part…eagerly counting down the days until your family’s photoshoot!

I live just south of Pottstown (zip code 19465) and will travel up to 20 miles for in home newborn sessions. And I offer outdoor family and mini sessions at various locations within about an hour radius in any direction from my home. For reference, I serve clients throughout the entire Philadelphia area to the east, as far north as Allentown, as far south as the Kennett Square, and as far west as Reading.

The entire editing process–from the date of your photoshoot to when you receive your final pictures–is about 4 weeks. Your proofing gallery will be ready for you to select your favorite pictures within 2 weeks after your photoshoot. Then once you choose your favorite photos, I’ll complete the final editing process within 2 weeks and send you the link to your private final image gallery where you can view and download the full resolution files of your photos. 

Yes! I ask all of my clients their preference when it comes to sharing their family’s photos. If you want to sign a Model Release giving me permission to share your family’s pictures, you can also opt to see sneak peeks (a few of my favorite photos shared on my blog/social media pages) within a few days after your photoshoot. If you opt to keep your family’s pictures private, you just have to wait 1-2 weeks to see all your photos in your proofing gallery when it’s ready.  I fully respect whichever choice you make because you know what’s best for you and your family.

Almost everyone says this before their photoshoot,  but I’ve never had a session where it ended up being true! Love is the source of beauty. When you embrace your sweet little ones and find something to laugh about together, you are beautiful. I’ve heard it with my own ears, seen it with my own eyes, and captured it with my camera. Trust me.

Yes! I provide all clients with a Print Release that gives you permission to print your photos for personal use at any printing company you choose. When I deliver your final gallery, I’ll also make recommendations on print labs to make sure your photos look amazing!

Cloudy and partly cloudy days are actually great for photos! The soft light on a cloudy day is very flattering and also gives us more flexibility with respect to which backdrops we can use and still have great lighting to create amazing pictures. If our session does need to be rescheduled due to rain or severe wind, I always leave extra space in my calendar for make-up sessions in case of bad weather. The day before your photoshoot, I’ll check the forecast and reach out to confirm our plan or recommend rescheduling if necessary. Your flexibility is always rewarded when you receive your beautiful photos!

Yes! You are welcome to share your pictures with family and friends on social media.  When posting on social media, I just ask that you credit Kristin Brockman Photography in the post/caption and refrain from putting filters on the photos so that they are a true representation of my work. All the details you need to know about sharing your photos are described in the Print Release document that you’ll receive along with your final image gallery.

No, unedited RAW files from our photoshoot are not available for purchase. I present all the best shots from our photoshoot in your proofing gallery, and you select your favorite pictures for final editing. I go through every image from our photoshoot and eliminate the test shots, the ones where somebody’s blinking, etc. and pick out the best moments and expressions from each sequence. I do not limit the size of my proofing galleries, so you can rest assured that you won’t miss any of the sweet moments we capture together!

• PA sales tax (6%)
• Possible travel fee if you choose to do the session at a location more than a 20 mile radius (40 miles round trip) outside of Pottstown
• Possible site fee if you select a location that charges for professional photoshoots

 I’m always happy to suggest a beautiful location within the 20 mile radius of Pottstown that is free for us to use for families who want to avoid a travel fee and/or site fee.
