Running Late To Your Photoshoot? Here's What To Do!

Life is busy! I get it! Sometimes your kids don’t want to get dressed, or the baby has a blow out as you’re walking out the door! And we all know how bad Seattle traffic can be, right? So here are some things you need to know if you are running late to your photo session.

Try to plan ahead

I have found that the most common reason for running late is traffic! So keep an eye on the traffic reports the day of your shoot and give yourself plenty of time. I’m always at the studio at least an hour before a scheduled session, so if you arrive early, just text me and let me know! I’d much rather start your session early than late!

Also, if you have children in your family who are on a nap schedule, take their nap time into consideration when booking and allow a buffer when possible! if your child usually takes an 8:00 am, for example, book an 11:00 session rather than a 10:00. Children LOVE to wake up late on photoshoot days!

Call to let me know

If, despite your best laid plans, you are running late, call (or text) me to let me know! My studio number is 206-841-2260.

If I know you are running late then I can let you know if I can accommodate the new time, or if we’ll need to reschedule.

When to reschedule

If you think you are going to be more than 15 to 20 minutes late, you may want to consider rescheduling.

I often work with more than one client in a day and don’t want your session to be rushed if you are 25 to 30 minutes late to a 60 minute session. I would much rather reschedule so you can get the best possible experience.

Life Happens

Remember, I work with children and I’m a mother myself. So I understand that life happens! I will try to be as flexible as I can!
