about your shoot

Couples Shoot:  (Engagement and Love You Sessions)

• These shoots are done at a location of your choice.
• Time of shoot varies depending on location chosen and time of year. Beach shoots are scheduled only in the evenings at sunset, no exceptions.
• Clothing:  Anything and everything!  These shoots are your chance to rock an awesome style.
• 2 outfit changes.

 

Baby Shoot:

• I don’t do the typical “squishy baby in a basket” newborn shoot.  My newborn shoots are a little more natural and include Mom and Dad, sisters, and brothers.   Baby can be any age but usually a 4 week + baby does a lot better than a newbie for my type of shoots.  If you HAVE to have that “squishy baby in a basket” photo, I can most definitely try and get that shot…but keep in mind, those shots are not my forte.  Natural, candid shots are what Rebecca Dodson Photography is all about!
• These shoots are usually done in your own home.  Please have the house straightened, bed made, and any other distractions put away.  I tend to rearrange furniture, open windows/curtains…anything to get the shot.  I put everything back though  If you would like your shoot done on location somewhere, please let me know so we can chat about ideas.
• Time of shoot:  this varies depending on baby’s eating/sleeping schedule.
• Clothing for Baby:  anything works but plain onesies are perfect.
• Clothing for Mom and Dad:  whatever you normally wear and are comfortable in, please try not to match (No white button up shirts and khacki pants – aka 90s photography wear, a definite NO NO).  Jeans, favorite t-shirts, barefoot…PERFECT for an at home baby shoot.  Wear what makes you stand out as an individual…Look through my photo sessions here on the blog to get an idea of what my clients wear.

 

Family Shoot:

• For groups no larger than 5 people.  For larger groups, a fee of $10 per person will be added to your total cost for the session.
• These shoots are done anywhere…inside your house, front porch, backyard, on-location in Tampa and nearby areas.
• Time of shoot varies depending on location chosen and time of year. Beach shoots are scheduled only in the evenings at sunset, no exceptions.
• Clothing:  Please try not to match (No white button up shirts and khacki pants – aka 90s photography wear, a definite NO NO).   Wear what makes you stand out as an individual…Look through my photo sessions here on the blog to get an idea of what my clients wear.

Maternity Shoot:

• For Mom’s anywhere from 7-9 months into their pregnancy.  7 months is usually the best time for most.
