Q&A

** I want to share our pictures with friends and family through social media. Can we get our pictures digitally?

Absolutely!  I have 2 options available.  1) You can purchase a CD of all your on-line gallery images from me. 2) You can purchase individual digital images through the desktop download option in the on-line gallery.

** My senior would like more than 2 outfit changes.  Can we do more?

Yes.  We can easily add more time to your shoot so that your senior can have pictures taken in as many outfits as they would like. Time can be added in half hour increments.  Contact me for additional information and pricing details.

** My senior has their heart set on pictures being taken at more than 1 location.  Can we do that?

Yes.  By adding more time to your shoot, we'll be able to use more than 1 location.   Contact me for additional information and pricing details.

** I would like to purchase this deal, but we would like pictures with all our children or our entire family.  Can we add people in?

Yes.  You can add as many people to your shoot as you would like; there is an additional fee for each person added.  Contact me for more information.     

** How many images can we expect from our shoot?

I go through all the pictures taken during your shoot and pick the best 25-50 images for you.  All images are edited and re-touched as necessary before being posted to your password protected on-line gallery.     

** We live outside of Dane County.  Will you still take pictures for us?
Of course.  I love to travel and visit new places!  I charge a small fee for locations outside of Dane County.

Elliana's Birthday: 3 years old

In the short time I've know Elliana, I've been amazed at the joy that radiates from her.  She has a smile that lights up the room and literally stretches from ear to ear.  Elliana has been diagnosed with Treacher Collin's Syndrome.  She is missing some important bones in her face which makes simple things like breathing, eating, and hearing difficult for her.  She has a determined spirit that makes her an inspiration to be around. 

I was blessed to have the opportunity to join her and her family for her 3rd birthday party, celebrating the removal of her trach and the wonderful nurses in her life.  The removal of Elliana's trach was a huge milestone for her!  Within an hour of being born she was intubated and 3 days later had her trach placed.  Except for that first hour, she has never known life without a breathing tube.

This party was also an opportunity for Becky and Brian (her parents) to publicly thank Elliana's nurses for all their amazing support over the years.  A team of 10 nurses have been working with Elliana.... some joined the team before she left the hospital.  I was touched to watch the nurses with her.  Elliana clearly adores them and they feel the same about her.  With the removal of her trach, the family's nursing team is no longer needed. 

There were so many fun pictures from this party.  Additional pictures are posted on facebook.  'Like' my page to stay in touch with Michelle Cross Photography.
