FAQs
What are your rates and what is included?
Every story is unique, so I offer a few different collections to fit your needs starting at $395
Do you require a deposit to hold a date?
Yes. To officially reserve your date on my calendar, a non-refundable retainer fee (30% of the total collection) and a signed contract are required. This ensures that I turn away all other inquiries for that specific time to focus entirely on your session. The remaining balance is due after your shoot.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
I understand that life and "Mother Nature" don't always go according to plan! To keep things fair for all clients, I have the following policy in place:
Retainers & Refunds: All retainers are non-refundable as they secure your specific date and time on my calendar. Once a session fee is paid in full, refunds are not issued; however, we can move your payment toward a rescheduled date.
The "One-Pass" Rule: I allow one complimentary reschedule for emergency purposes. If you need to reschedule a second time, a new retainer will be required to secure a new date.
Inclement Weather: While I can’t control the weather, I’ll do my best to work around it! If we are forced to reschedule due to bad weather, there is no fee. Please keep in mind that my schedule fills up fast, a weather-related reschedule will be moved to the next available opening, which may be 3 to 4 weeks from your original date.
Cancellations: If you choose to cancel your session entirely rather than reschedule, the retainer is forfeited.
Arrival & No-Shows: To be respectful of my schedule and other clients, please arrive on time! If you do not show up or are considerably late, your session and all payments made may be forfeited.
I’m so awkward in photos! Will you help us pose?
Absolutely! I specialize in directed posing, I’ll give you movements and prompts so you look natural, not stiff
Where will the shoot take place?
The location is a huge part of the 'vibe' of your photos! I offer a few different options depending on the look you’re going for:
On-Location (Outdoor): I’ll share my 'Location Guide' so we can pick the perfect backdrop for your style.
In-Home (Lifestyle): For a more intimate, relaxed feel.
Studio: If you’re looking for a clean, editorial, or controlled environment, I can book a local studio space. Note: Studio rental fees may apply.
Your Vision: Have a specific place that’s meaningful to you? I love exploring new locations!
How long until I get my photos?
I know you’re excited to see your images, so I pride myself on a fast and collaborative turnaround!
The Selection Gallery (48–72 Hours): Within 2 to 3 days of our shoot, I will send you a link to your Proofing Gallery. These are the best images from our session for you to look through and select your absolute favorites for final editing.
The Final Gallery (2 Weeks): Once you have submitted your selections, I will hand-edit your chosen images to perfection. Your final, high-resolution gallery will be delivered via a private online link within 2 weeks.
Why I work this way: I want you to love every single shot you receive! By letting you choose your favorites from the proofing gallery, we ensure that the final collection is exactly what you envisioned."
How will they be delivered? You’ll receive a link to a high-resolution, password-protected online gallery. From there, you can easily download your images, share them with family, or order professional-grade prints directly to your door."
Do you retouch?
Absolutely! I don’t deliver anything I wouldn’t want delivered to myself! Every image delivered to you is retouched and album ready - never plastic looking, just a glamorous you!
Will all my unedited images be high-res or low-res images?
All of your unedited images will be low-res images. You can purchase high-res images for a fee.
What form of payment do you accept?
At this time i only accept zell. I will provide my zell information for your payment
