Questions Before you book?

Don’t worry, I’ve been asked them all before! Here are my most frequently asked questions, but if your question isn’t answered here, just send an email to janelleyeagerphotography@gmail.com!

What is lifestyle photography?

Lifestyle photography is inspired, and poses are guided more than posed. It’s fluid and constantly changing. It’s your life, as it happens. It’s going with the flow and knowing the photographs will be amazing, because they’re YOUR unique story to tell. It’s allowing the kids to be kids. It is places and interactions that matter to you. It’s not chasing the perfect posed moment, because the perfect authentic moments are already happening around you, and they have a beautiful story all on their own. It’s storytelling. It’s a memoir.

What to wear??

Lifestyle sessions are special events, so I recommend you dress as such. Be yourself, but maybe a slightly fancier version of yourself (I’m talking to myself and my obsession with yoga pants, here). You will look and feel your best when you are comfortable.

Keep the colors and patterns simple. Coordinate, but don’t match each other. Avoid logos, avoid bright clothing, skip the screen-printed tees. Bring some accessories if you want, like a scarf, a cool jacket, a hat, etc. Just make sure they are true to your aesthetic!

I also recommend wearing shape-defining clothing- something cinched at the waist or belted is always more flattering than something loose fitting.

Feeling overwhelmed? Dont be, I’ll be sending out an outfit guide upon booking to help point you to your photoshoot style!

How many photos do we receive?

Every session is different but expect more adorable photos than you'll know what to do with!

How long have you been doing this?

I picked up my first camera professionally in 2009. However, I've been photographing since I was in college, so since 2006! I can't do math very well, but that's a long time.

Where are you located?

I'm located in the cute town of Manistique, Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula and can travel for sessions within 40 miles at no extra cost.

If you're located somewhere else, don't be shy about sending a message. We can chat about options!

Where do we take our photos?

The world is your oyster!
Wanna go to New Zealand? Cool, bring me!
Want to have the session at your house? Perfect!
Want to have photos on the beach? Mountains? Volcano? On a lake? I'm down!
Don't have any ideas? That's cool, I have some spots around Manistique that I love!

How long does it take to receive the photos after the session and how will those be delivered?

Your portraits will be provided for your viewing within 7 days of your session. You will be sent a link to your 60 Day online gallery which you can share with your friends and family and download your photos from.

Do you travel?

It's literally my favorite thing to do, so yes!
I've photographed clients in Australia and Amsterdam and in about 7 different states so far!

Do you retouch photos?

Yes! I start with retouches like removing distracting background objects, eye crusties, etc. I don't automatically retouch skin blemishes such as acne or scars unless requested out of respect for the subject.

What are themed sessions*?

They are basically *very* visually focused sessions! They are great for unique businesses, authors, creators and individuals who want to stand out with distinctive images, allowing them to showcase their identity in a memorable way, and infuse their images with creativity and personality. From brand images to Halloween family photos to movie themed engagement sessions, themed sessions can tell a fun, engaging, and unique story. These sessions are a mix of posed and unposed.
