we have included some information to help answer many common questions about our portrait sessions. please feel free to send me an email or give me a call if your question is not answered below and we will be more than happy to help you.

what is your style of photography?
kate wilke photography specializes in capturing real moments. kate is a photographer who loves to capture natural and creative images which will be timeless pieces in your family for years to come. simplicity, expression, emotion, relationships are conveyed in our images. we believe our passion and love for what we do shows in our work and our style.

do you shoot in a studio or outdoors?
we shoot mostly outdoors, but can do indoors if it's needed. sometimes with newborns it's best to do indoors. this provides a safe and comfortable environment for your baby. most all other shoots can be done outdoors.

what should i bring to my session?
unless there is anything specific that is significant to you, do not feel as though you need to bring anything to the shoot. the majority of your shoot will focus on capturing the personality of your child and family however, we welcome any personal additions that you may want to bring. some favorites are a sentimental blanket for a newborn shoot, a favorite toy for a toddler, or hats for any age.

how long will my session take?
sessions last approximately 45 minutes to an hour. these times vary depending on how many people are included in the photographs. however, if needed, we will take extra time as your happiness is our ultimate goal.

what clothing should i wear?
what you will wear will be dependent on what type of photos you are wanting and what you want to capture. when you set up your session, we can discuss in greater detail which clothing for the type of shoot will enhance your portrait and produce the best looking images.
