Fall books up quickly, especially for holiday cards. We recommend booking as early as possible, at least 3 to 4 weeks out. Peak times fill fast year-round, so 2 to 3 weeks of notice is a good minimum in any season. The earlier you book, the more options you have. Once a time is booked, it's gone.
We shoot rain, snow, or shine. Light overcast skies and light rain actually create beautiful, even lighting, so don't worry if it's not perfectly sunny. However, if there's a major storm or lightning, we'll cancel for everyone's safety and be in touch for rescheduling. You can also reschedule for free up to 72 hours before your session.
Sparq offers 30-minute and 60-minute family photo sessions. Most families with young children find that 30 minutes is enough to capture a variety of poses and candid shots without kids losing patience. The 60-minute Premium option is ideal for extended families, families with 8 or more people, or families who want more outfit or location variety.
Spring blooms peak from March through early May at the gardens and arboretum sites. Summer and early fall are best for waterfront sessions when the light on the water is warmest. Golden hour ranges from around 5:00pm in deep winter to around 7:30pm in midsummer.
