When should I book?
The 30 to 34 week window, why twins run earlier, and what to do if you're already past it. Nobody is too late.

What do I wear?
Fabrics that move, colors that hold up in Colorado light, and what the client closet covers so you don't have to buy anything.

Where do we shoot?
Studio, foothills, or high country, sorted by season and drive time, plus the spot I only share with booked clients.
