Frequently asked questions

Is 5 minutes enough time?

I promise you, it will be! I am all about the consistent workflow and we will get your kiddo(s) in and out, with plenty of time to get what we want!

How many images will I receive?

You will have the option to download your favorite image for no additional charge. If you choose, you can purchase additional images for $20 each (+ CT sales tax) or upgrade to a full gallery for $75 (+ CT sales tax).

When will I receive my images?

You will receive your hand-edited digital images within one week of your session via an online gallery.

Will I get black & white pictures or color?

Your final online gallery will have a combination of black and white and colored images. You will be able to choose whichever ones you prefer or get them all if you upgrade to the full gallery.

What should my child wear?

Whatever you like! Personally, I think personality portraits are cutest when your little one is wearing what they are most comfortable in. That being said, if you prefer to dress-up - go for it! I alway recommend thinking about what you will want to do with the final product (gift, hang in your home, etc.) and then plan outfits based on that.

What if my child freaks out or doesn't cooperate?

If this happens, please let me work my magic! I have worked with hundreds of children and I promise I can make it work if I can have their full attention. If your presence is distracting your child, it may help for you to "go get something in the hall" and step out for a moment. My assistant and I will work our magic. As a mom myself, I know it's hard but the less parents try to force it, the better it goes!

Can my child's cousin join them?

Unfortunately, these are for siblings and individuals only. If you want to have extended family book the next slot, we can try to get a picture of cousins together. However, please note, that this will take away from both of your time slots and may result in fewer final images.

"We did personality portraits for the second time with Sharon and they came out so well!

The kids had such a blast and she really captured their unique personalities!"

"I was first introduced to Sharon in 2024 when I did a session of personality portraits, and I was instantly impressed. A few friends had used her before and raved about her work, and now I completely understand why! Sharon truly works magic behind the camera. She is incredibly organized, answering all questions and planning every detail ahead of time.

Merissa

There’s never a need to stress about locations, directions, or even bad weather—she has a backup plan for everything!

One of my favorite parts of working with her is the dress consult to help plan outfits. She has such a great eye for style and helps put together looks that photograph beautifully."

"Stop reading reviews and just book your session with Sharon Leger Photography right now. Sharon has been there for my family even before we were an official family. She poetically captured our engagement, maternity and our newborn’s first photos.

I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with these precious moments.

I am not an easy client. I am nervous, unsure of myself and overly aware of every physical flaw (especially postpartum). Sharon made me feel comfortable and beautiful every step of the way. We love Sharon Leger Photography, especially the woman behind the lens! Thank you for everything, Sharon!"

"It’s hard for me to find the perfect words to describe what Sharon has given me.

I reached out to her when I was thinking about doing maternity photos, and she quickly convinced me that I would not regret it. She was right. Not only do I not regret my maternity photos but I actually love everything about them. Every time I look at them, all of those amazing feelings I felt while I was pregnant come right back as if I’m still in the moment. They are something I will cherish forever."

"Sharon is an absolute gem! It has been 3.5 years since I found her and since then she has captured the most adorable and perfect pictures of my two sons and our family.

From newborn sessions, cake smashes and family photos, not one detail has ever been overlooked. Her process is seamless and she makes everything so accessible and easy.

She offers so many options for photo opportunities and has perfected a style that really is timeless! She was so wonderful with each of my children when they were newborns, that it made the experience so worth it! Couldn’t recommend enough!"

"We recently had our second family session with Sharon and

Jenna

we were yet again blown away by the entire experience.

From her expert outfit planning, to making the journey to join us at our beach for photos, Sharon created a relaxed, fun environment from beginning to end. The photos we received were beyond what I could have imagined! She captured our family perfectly!!"

6 / 10

"Sharon was absolutely lovely to work with. I'm not the type of person who particularly enjoys photoshoots, but she is exceptionally adept at putting her clients at ease. Her studio is equal parts tranquil, tasteful and casual so that my wife and I were not in the least bit overwhelmed.

Kevin

Sharon anticipates every possible need and plans accordingly so that you don't have to.

She is able to maintain the pace of her shoots, moving them forward judiciously without making the client feel rushed or unappreciated. She was completely down-to-earth and personable. It sounds cliché, but talking with her felt like catching up with an old friend – exactly we needed after the hectic experience of bringing our first child into the world. Sharon was more than worth the cost."

"We received a message from Sharon and I knew she was the right photographer for us. Her email was personal, she asked us questions to gain great insight into what we were hoping to achieve during our photo session. She allowed for my parents, who were living with us and helping us out with our children, to be present and actively took really nice photos of them with the kids and all of us.

She was so patient with our two year old and our two week old. She entertained our daughter with toys and took beautiful photos of our family.

6 / 7

We were able to do a newborn, family, and holiday photos in just a short few hours because Sharon works very well with children and babies."

Julie

"I highly recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a photographer. We did our maternity shoot with her and the whole experience was great!

Megan

Her communication leading up to it so that we were prepared and knew exactly what to expect, her sweet and laid back personality made the shoot so fun and comfortable

and her quick delivery of the most beautiful photos!"

9 / 10

"First, scheduling was super easy through her website. Sharon is very communicative from booking and up until picture day.

Nicole

We have two small children and somehow Sharon had them smiling and laughing the whole time feeling like they were playing and not working for photos.

The fact that Sharon used to be a teacher was beyond beneficial in your kids taking an active and fun part in getting great photos. I received the pictures and couldn’t believe how many amazing shots she was able to capture of us knowing how difficult it can be to get kids to cooperate. I am already looking forward to booking with Sharon next year and I cannot recommend Sharon and her team more for your next family photo shoot."
