Frequently Asked

Have Questions? Get Answers

Q: What if the weather doesn't cooperate?

A: I always anticipate great weather, but we know how unpredictable the Midwest can be—conditions can shift dramatically within hours. Rest assured, I’ll be keeping a close eye on the forecast leading up to and on the day of your session. If there’s a need to reschedule due to bad weather, I’ll reach out to you as soon as possible to make sure we find the best solution!

Q: What if someone 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: Can we bring our dog?

A: Absolutely! Furbabies are family, too, so it only makes sense to include them in your photos. If you’re bringing your pup along, don’t forget their leash and their favorite treat or squeaky toy—it’ll help keep them happy and make for some adorable moments!

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: Do you offer extended family sessions?

A: Absolutely! Capturing memories with your extended family is so meaningful. Extended family sessions include any family group larger than just the immediate members. Please reach out to me directly if you'd like to book an extended family session, and I’ll provide you with the best pricing options.

Q: Do you have set locations or Can I choose my own?

A: Locations matter just as much as the people in your photos! I’ve personally handpicked certain spots to create the perfect backdrop, so your photos will be filled with not only beautiful memories but also gorgeous scenery. Now, I completely understand that some locations hold sentimental value, and I'm more than happy to discuss alternative options with you before booking. While I can't always guarantee that a suggested location will work, it’s always best to chat with me first to ensure everything is approved before we finalize your session!

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 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! I do require a $75 initial payment to hold your booking date that is applied to the balance of your session total.

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!

The Musson Family

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.

Taylor

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!

Jenna

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!

Faye

MORAINE VIEW STATE PARK | CENTRAL illinois

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!

The McQuellon Family

MORAINE VIEW STATE PARK | CENTRAL illinois

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!

The Worth Family

studio | leroy, illinois

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!

Amanda

MORAINE VIEW STATE PARK | CENTRAL illinois

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!

The Quintana Family

MORAINE VIEW STATE PARK | CENTRAL illinois

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!

Chelsi

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!
