BEFORE THE SESSION
Spend a little time planning your clothing, make-up, props, and locations. I am always available to answer your questions by email or phone. Styled sessions are available, please let me know if you have a specific concept or theme you'd like to incorporate. Check out my style guide here!
THE DAY OF
You'll arrive at the location, on-time and ready to shoot. If you are including small children, pets, or uninterested husbands - please bring a treat (you bet I believe in bribery!) The shoot should be relaxed and fun! My approach to working with kids is simple; let them be who they are. I want them to giggle, jump, make silly faces and tell me their stories. This is why we love them - so let's capture it! Feel free to bring along a special toy or blankie. Keeping them happy and comfortable is never a bad idea.
If you plan to bring a snack, please consider something that doesn't leave crumbs or stick on their faces, and don't forget the wet wipes!

JUST A FEW MORE DETAILS
- I shoot all over MN and am a preferred vendor for Three Rivers Parks and Minneapolis Parks so I can suggest outdoor locations if you prefer.
- Sessions are by appointment only and first come first serve.
- I offer weekday and evening appointments year round. Weekend availability is limited April - November due to engagement and wedding events. Weekends book 4-6 weeks in advance.
- I love mini sessions and offer a day or two throughout the year for a discounted rate. Follow my Emily Theisen VIP page for special announcements!
- Sessions must be paid for on or before your session. You can pay online here or I can accept cash or credit card the day of.
- I offer gift cards in any dollar increment so if you are looking for a special gift, shoot me a note and I can get one to you asap.
- I love sharing images from sessions on my website and social media. I do keep names and personal details to a minimum but if you do not want your session made public, please let me know on or before the date of your session.
- My Milestone package fees are paid for at the time of each session so there are no deposits or prepaid requirements.
