FAQ
Just head to the Contact page in the menu and fill out the inquiry form. Share what you’re looking for and your preferred date, and I’ll be in touch to begin planning your session.
Everyone is welcome — no modeling experience needed. I’ll guide you every step of the way.
I recommend booking at least a few weeks in advance to ensure we have enough time to thoughtfully plan your session — including location, timing, and creating a vision board that reflects your style and story.
If you’re in my local area and it’s a last-minute request, I may be able to accommodate bookings with as little as 48 hours’ notice, depending on availability.
Absolutely. Feeling a little nervous is completely normal — most of my clients say the same thing at first. My assistant and I take the time to listen to your concerns and gently guide you throughout the session so you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera.
You (and your family) are the heart of the session. Our goal is to create a relaxed, enjoyable experience that feels effortless — never forced or uncomfortable.
Yes, absolutely. In your pre-session questionnaire, you’ll have the option to share if you already have a preferred location in mind. If not, I’m more than happy to recommend locations that align with your vision, style, and the overall feel you want for your session.
Together, we’ll choose a setting that complements your story beautifully.
My turnaround time is typically 3–4 weeks, depending on the season and overall workload. During peak or holiday seasons (such as Thanksgiving or Christmas), delivery may be closer to the four-week mark.
If an extended turnaround time is ever anticipated, it will be clearly communicated in advance and outlined in our agreement. I always prioritize transparency and timely delivery.
No, full payment is not required at the time of booking. A nonrefundable retainer is required to secure your session date, and the remaining balance is due on or before the day of your session.
If you prefer to pay in full at the time of booking, you’re more than welcome to do so — but it’s completely optional.
Your trust means everything to me. If you’re not comfortable with your images being shared online, I will fully honor your wishes.
Your privacy will always be respected!
Yes, I do! Weddings and events are quoted separately, as each celebration is unique and requires a personalized approach.
After your inquiry, I will send a detailed pricing guide with starting rates, and we’ll connect to discuss your vision, timeline, and overall needs to ensure we’re the perfect fit for your special day.
