📣 A FEW IMPORTANT UPDATES FROM WILD + ROOTED
I’ve been trying to be lenient with booking deadlines and retainers, but unfortunately, that leniency has been taken advantage of one too many times.
So moving forward, I will be strictly enforcing my booking policies.
✨ If you do not intend to pay your retainer, please do not request to book a session. ✨
Your retainer is what officially secures your date and time. I cannot continue holding dates indefinitely while waiting for payment, especially when I have other clients who are ready to book.
Going forward:
• Your retainer is due at the time of booking.
• Your contract must be signed.
• Once I send your booking link, you will have 24 hours to complete both requirements.
• If your retainer has not been paid AND your contract has not been signed within 24 hours, your session will be canceled and the date will be released.
This isn’t meant to be harsh — it’s simply me putting the boundaries in place for my business that I should have been enforcing all along. 🤎
You are reserving my time, my preparation, and a specific spot on my calendar, and I need to be able to count on those bookings just as you count on me showing up for your session.
🤍 A NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY UPDATE
I’ve also made the decision to no longer offer posed/studio-style newborn photography.
I want to be completely transparent about why.
I do not currently have a dedicated studio space, and I have not taken the specialized training/classes necessary to safely perform traditional posed newborn sessions.
And when it comes to those tiny little babes, I will never risk their safety just to offer a type of photography that I’m not properly equipped or trained to provide. Their safety will always come first. 🤍
That does NOT mean I’m done photographing newborns!
I will happily continue offering lifestyle newborn sessions — natural, relaxed, connection-focused images in your home or another comfortable environment. These sessions are much more aligned with the type of storytelling photography I love and the experience I want to provide for your family.
So, moving forward:
🤍 Lifestyle newborns — YES!
🤍 Fresh 48 — YES!
🤍 Maternity — YES!
🤍 Families & milestones — YES!
🚫 Posed/studio-style newborns — NO
I’m always going to choose safety, honesty, and quality of experience over trying to offer everything.
Thank you to everyone who continues to trust Wild + Rooted with your memories. Your support of my little business means more than you know.
Please read these updates carefully before booking. By booking a session, you are agreeing to the current policies and expectations listed above.
