Frequently asked questions

These sessions are for anyone who’s ever wanted to step into something a little different—whether that’s a character, a mood, or just a new way of seeing themselves for a while. No experience needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to play a little.

Nope. You don’t need to know how to pose—I’ll guide you the whole way. Most of the time, it just feels like moving, trying things, and seeing what feels natural.

Absolutely. I think it’s important that the chemistry is right before we take our first picture. I am happy to meet with you in person or in a virtual space so we can get to know each other before the day of your session.

Things happen, I get it. Cars break down, people get sick. It's no fun for anyone. That said, I believe it's important to respect other's time, so if you absolutely can't make your session, I ask that you let me know at least 48 hours beforehand. A cancellation with no reschedule date will result in a forfeit of the retainer paid. If you need to reschedule your session, a one-time transfer of the retainer will be allowed. Any subsequent reschedule request will result in a forfeiture of the retainer and a new retainer to be paid for the rescheduled date.

For portrait sessions, a retainer in the amount of 50% of your session fee is due at the time of booking (this secures your date, so keep in mind that until the retainer is paid, I cannot guarantee availability). The remaining 50% will be due a week before your session.

My favorite question! Once we have selected a date for your session, I will send you my contract to review and sign, along with the invoice for photography services. A portion of the overall fee will be due at that time, so you'll have the ability to submit your payment through the portal once the contract is signed. After that, you'll receive a booking confirmation and you're good to go!

While it's nice to believe that nothing will go wrong and everyone will do what they say they'll do, we still need to protect ourselves. The contract we both sign is there to protect you as the client and me as the photographer. It outlines the terms of payment, the limitations of liability, and sets expectations so everything is clear and understood before we take our first picture.

I always love to show off my amazing clients, but I respect your privacy and allow each client to decide whether or not they want their photos displayed publicly.

After your session, I carefully edit and curate your images to highlight the emotion, story, and artistry we created together. You’ll receive them through a private online gallery, ready to download and enjoy.

Honestly, this is the fun part. Once we figure out the kind of session we're creating, we will build the look together - from wardrobe, to accessories and props, and make sure it all fits the vibe you're going for.

We start by easing into it—getting comfortable, talking, and stepping into the idea we’ve created together. From there, I’ll guide you through movement and direction, but there’s always room to explore and see what happens naturally.
