FAQs

Why choose La Luna Photography?

Josephine Ettinger is the sole owner and operator of La Luna Photography.

I am dedicated to providing a bespoke photography experience and exceptional customer service for my clients. From the moment of contact, I am fully invested in you! I have full control over every session to ensure the highest quality of work is delivered for you. Pre-shoot I am planning, communicating, and scouting locations so that your process will be easy and organized. Post-shoot I am carefully curating the very best images and editing each photo in my distinctive signature style.

After the images have been curated and edited, they go into a private online gallery and custom designed photo app just for you! From there, you start sharing with family and friends and can download your digital images.

This is my passion! I’m 100% invested in you and this craft. I offer photographic services, top of the line print and bind craftsman albums, professional canvases, wall art, and so much more. It also helps that I am extremely organized, professional and friendly.

What is your style?

My photography style is focused on personality, relationships, and the moments in between. My skills stand me a part from many “portrait photographers” in that I’m all about photographing the journalistic lifestyle moments. I want to capture the personality of your family and the time of life with your children. Snuggling, walking, playing, laughing. I value those moments over the posed smiling perfect photo.

My lifestyle sessions aim to capture the beauty in your natural environment, the emotion, and the art hidden in the in-between moments. I typically do not do very posed portraits, use added props or artificial lighting, or do studio photoshoots.

I love the use of bright and airy natural light, soft color, and clean images.

What can I expect during a shoot?

During your shoot, the most important thing is to relax and enjoy the moment! I will guide you in to semi-posed situations based on the light and the compositional space I want to photograph you in. There is no pressure to perform or “smile” – I want my session with you to be fun and stress free. Often, my favorite photos arise from genuine moments of interaction, when I can capture those truly real moments of connection in an artistic way.

My style is very natural and organic – but I do also aim to get a great family photo where everyone is in place, looking good and looking at the camera. My sessions are carefully designed to be fun, fast moving and very candid.

I shoot with natural available light (no flash) and often you wont realize that the camera is even there, but rest assured that I will capture soulful, gorgeous, and playful photos to remember your family at this special moment in time.

What should we wear?

I always suggest a neutral or similarly toned color palette for the whole family. It is important to be comfortable and relaxed and feel your best! A mix of small patterns or prints can often look great mixed in, but in general, less is more. Please try to avoid anything too bold, too matching, any logos, or all black as these do not photograph well. My photography style is light and airy, so white is a great option. A floaty summer dress always works well for mothers, but anything goes! It’s all about capturing your personality and style. I am available to advise you on outfit choices and can provide photos/examples for inspiration.

What happens if my child is not behaving?

The most important thing is to relax and go with the flow…I am a mother and wife myself, and understand that meltdowns are unavoidable and sometimes photoshoots can be tough! I advise to have a few toys on hand to keep the little ones entertained and if the mood turns, it’s not a problem, we will work through it. I’ve seen it all and love to capture action shots of kids playing and in motion. Trust the process and we will get through it!

What happens if it rains or if my child is sick?

If anyone is feeling unwell, we will cancel (even the morning of your session) and reschedule. For outdoor sessions I often book a back-up date when the initial date is set, in case of bad weather.

What should we do with our digital files?

Having the digital images gives you the most freedom, which is why I include them in my packages. You can use the photos for holiday cards, calendars, prints, canvas, frames, or in any way you like. The key is not to leave the images on your computer where you will never have the chance to view and enjoy them. Prints and products can be purchased seamlessly from your online client gallery, for an effortless way to buy products and bring your precious memories to life. My hope is that you will want to print your most loved pictures, the forever pictures that mean something. Our lives are full of an endless stream of meaningless pictures, and I want you to preserve your most treasured moments and create heirlooms for your family.

Availability & How to book

I offer indoor and outdoor lifestyle photo sessions on weekdays and weekends.

I usually offer outdoor morning sessions 2-3 hours after sunrise or afternoon shoots about 2 hours before sunset. I love this lighting and it lends a lot to my creative style. Indoor session timing is more flexible.

I will review your request, confirm the date, and if available send you a contract, terms & conditions and deposit required. Your date is reserved when both the contract & deposit are received.
