Booking a Session with Photos by Cady

What to Expect

Booking a photography session should feel simple and stress-free. Here’s exactly how the process works from start to finish.

❋ STEP ONE: CHOOSE SESSION TYPE

Photos by Cady offers the following photography sessions:

  • Maternity photography

  • Newborn photography

  • Family photography

  • Milestone and children’s portraits

  • Branding photography

Each session type has its own booking link with available dates and session details listed clearly.

If you’re unsure which session is right for you, you can reach out before booking for guidance.

❋ STEP 2: BOOK ONLINE

All sessions are booked online through my scheduling system.

To book:

  1. Select your session type

  2. Choose an available date and time

  3. Complete the booking form

  4. Submit your session fee to reserve your spot

Once booked, your session date is officially secured.


❋ STEP 3: START PLANNING TOGETHER

After booking, you’ll receive:

  • A session confirmation email

  • A detailed prep email specific to your session type

  • Wardrobe guidance and styling tips

For maternity and newborn sessions, clients also receive information about wardrobe options and how to choose outfits that photograph well.


❋ STEP 5: GALLERY DELIVERY

After your session:

  • Your images are professionally edited in my signature true-to-color style

  • Your online gallery is delivered within the turnaround time listed for your session

  • Galleries are easy to view, download, and share

Turnaround times are always communicated in advance so there are no surprises.

❋ STEP 4: THE SESSION DAY

Sessions are relaxed, guided, and efficient.

You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll guide you throughout the session while leaving room for natural moments and movement.

My goal is to:

  • Keep sessions running on time

  • Create a comfortable, easy experience

  • Capture natural, flattering images that feel like you

Most sessions take place in my studio or at a nearby outdoor location, depending on the session type.

❋ STEP 6: DOWNLOAD & ENJOY!

Your final gallery includes high-resolution digital images ready for:

  • Printing

  • Sharing with family

  • Albums and wall art

  • Long-term keepsakes

If your session includes prints, products, or credits, ordering instructions will be included with your gallery.

    CHECK OUT MY REVIEWS

“Cady is beyond impressive in not only her work but her professionalism and response time. She has a wide variety in what she has to offer, and has done so many different photo sessions for me, including studio sessions for a birthday, lots of family pictures and now senior sessions for my daughter. Can’t recommend her enough.”
