FAQ

Wild & Sweet Photography is Maine family portrait photographer and newborn portrait photography studio

WHAT IS YOUR STYLE? At Wild & Sweet, we combine traditional portraiture with lifestyle photography. This means we know exactly how to pose you and your family so that everyone looks great, and we know precisely what to do to get those genuine smiles from your crew! Our big priority when posing groups is to make sure mama looks her very best. Why? Because we’re moms too, and we KNOW how few photos you have with your littles (selfies don’t count).

I HAVE ANGSTY TEENAGERS. CAN I STILL SCHEDULE PORTRAITS? Of course!! They might be big, but they’re still your babies. Angsty teens are cool with us. How do we get them to smile? Easy: we talk about sports or boyfriends, and we tell dumb jokes to make ourselves look weird and relatable. We won’t force your teens to snuggle with you (but sometimes they don’t actually mind if nudged… you might even get a voluntary hug out of them!).

WHO WILL BE MY PHOTOGRAPHER? Rebecca, the owner, is currently the lead photographer for Wild & Sweet Photography Co. We will be looking to expand into a team of 2-3 photographers in mid/late 2021. If you’re a photographer who LOVES babies/kids/families and you think you might be a good fit, reach out!

WHERE DO YOU SCHEDULE PORTRAIT SESSIONS? We have favorite locations in Bangor, Belfast, Camden, and Bar Harbor / Acadia National Park. When you book with us, we work together to choose a location that will suit your family perfectly. W&S also has exclusive access to the Meadow Ridge Farm property in Winterport; an ideal location in the Bangor area for portraits in woodsy Maine setting that features a big red barn!

WHERE DO YOU SCHEDULE NEWBORN + MILESTONE SESSIONS? Newborns and Milestones (ages 3-12months) are scheduled at our studio in downtown Winterport. This space is set up with children in mind. We have a changing table stocked with organic products as well as various backdrops, wraps, and hats/headbands for tiny babies.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO YOU BOOK? Newborn sessions are usually scheduled 6 months in advance. Family and portrait sessions are booked anywhere from one to three months in advance. It is rare that we have “last minute” openings, so please reach out once you decide you want to work with us!
