Frequently Asked
Q: Are parent and sibling photos included?
A: Milestone and Smash & Splash sessions are focused solely on your little one and do not include parent, sibling, or family photos. I'm more than happy to discuss a family session if you'd like to capture more memories with the whole crew!
Q: What if my little one is sick?
A: Then, we’ll reschedule! As a mom, I completely understand how sickness can come and go, sometimes more often than we’d like. To ensure the best experience and to keep everyone healthy, we’ll postpone your session until everyone is feeling better and ready to enjoy the day!
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: I do! A traditional payment is $75 at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due on the day of your session. If you’d prefer a payment plan, I can easily split it up for you, as long as everything is complete by the session date. Just let me know what works best for you, and we’ll make it happen—it’s that simple!
Q: How do I book you for my session?
A: Just reach out and let me know what type of session you're interested in, the collection you’d like, and your ideal timeframe! We’ll work together to find a date that fits both of our schedules and start planning for your session day!

Morganne is so incredibly talented and has found a way to make our shy, not wanting to smile for pictures, girl break out of her shell and capture her personality perfectly! You will NOT be disappointed with the decision to book your session with Morganne!

She made this mamas heart be able to relax during the session and captured exactly what I envisioned for our last pregnancy. When I say I was absolutely blown away when we got our photos back is an absolute understatement. My husband was even in awe of her work and commented how amazing our photos were.

My family has gone to Morganne a few times now for photos and she’s been wonderful every time. She is so patient with the little ones and she takes beautiful photos. You won’t be disappointed! 10/10 recommend. Also a plus to support a local business.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Morganne Trickett Photography! As a new mom, I was anxious about getting all the outfits for newborn pictures! Morganne took that anxious feeling away by supplying all the clothes and accessories!! She was great during pictures and made sure our little one was calm!! In return, the pictures couldn’t have been any better! We are so in love with them and will be using Morganne for all our future pictures! Plus, her studio is so cozy and the perfect atmosphere!! Morganne is truly the BEST!

Morganne is absolutely incredible. We have gone to her for all of my son’s biggest milestones, and she never disappoints. She’s so easy to work with, and is incredibly patient with me my toddler! We love her and cannot recommend her enough!

Morganne has captured my family’s photos during a mini session and a fall session. Both experiences were perfect and she gave 100% to get the perfect pictures! I loved how she talked with my kiddos before the pictures so my littles felt comfortable during the session. Morganne’s photos are always exceptional. I’m always in awe with all her photos and will continue to use her in the future!

Morganne is so talented! This was our third session together and once again she hit it out of the park. She captured the personality of our little one effortless. He was shy at first, and she had him giggling by the end and captured priceless shots. Can’t wait until our next session!

We’ve used Morganne for several sessions and absolutely love every photo we’ve gotten. From the holiday mini sessions to my son’s milestone shoot for his 1st birthday, we’ve used her for all of it. I’ve also recommended her to several friends who have had great experiences as well. Can’t recommend Morganne enough!

Morganne has taken our family photos for the last 2 years and we have been very satisfied with everything from the scheduling process to the end results! We have 3 young children, which can be very tricky when it comes to photography and getting a good shot when everyone is smiling (and has their eyes open!). She had lots of tips and tricks to keep the kids happy and interested, and she worked well overall with everyone in our family. She was super flexible when we had to change our session to a different day when someone came down with an illness as well. The final photos were wonderful and perfect to show each person’s beauty and personality. Definitely recommend Morganne!

Morganne went above and beyond throughout the whole process. She had the most helpful info on her website directing me to anything I would need to know for my session. She even helped me figure out the perfect outfits for my family. Once we got to the beautiful location, she made the experience easy, fun, and left us with the most amazing photos our family will cherish forever. BRB i'm running to order the biggest prints of every pic for my home. I can't thank you enough Morganne! I can't wait for many more sessions!

We've now done 3 family sessions with Morganne and she's wonderful! She always captures sweet moments, and her prices are very reasonable. We love doing her mini sessions and will continue to be customers!
