FAQ
- I’m ready to book a session with you, how far in advance should I do that?
I am typically booked a month in advance & often-times further out than that during the busy season. Newborns should be booked well in advance of their due date (contacting me when you are 5-6 months pregnant is usually good). Quite a few of my moms will contact me as soon as they see that positive line – that’s great too! If you are looking to book a child or family session, 8-12 weeks is a good time frame. So April sessions should be scheduled in Jan/Feb & September sessions by June (for example).
- What is your background in photography?
I feel very fortunate in that I have a fairly well-rounded background when it comes to my field. I have studied both in the classroom (physical & on-line) and ‘in real life’ by working with other photographers as well as interning with an in-house photo studio for an advertising agency in Chicago. I also pursue continuing education on my own, much like a few other fields (education, medicine, etc.).
I have a local baby display at Interior Women’s Health, in addition to being published in a national magazine (Family Circle), where I was hired by the photo editor to photograph a North Pole family of five for a particular feature. My greatest accomplishment is raising four kids under six on a daily basis. That is definitely the toughest job I’ve ever had.
- What organizations are you a part of?
I am a member of PPA.
In addition to professional organizations, I’ve donated to our local Autism Society of America Golden Heart Chapter and Fairbanks Montessori as well as being a 2010 & 2011 sponsor of Bike to Work Fairbanks.
- Where can I see more of your work or find out more information?
If you are online, you can visit the “Portfolio” tab above and click on either the “Portraits” drop down menu or the “Gallery” drop down menu. Visiting the Portrait site will give you further information about a typical session with MachC Photography.
If you are out and about around town, you can pick up a business card from Interior Women’s Health, where I have a visual display in several exam rooms of babies & bellies.
