04 When do you start your sessions?

All photos in your gallery are high resolution digital photos that are immediately ready to print. I highly recommend that you purchase any prints, wall art and canvases directly through me. Once you place your order, your photos are sent to a professional print lab partner where it gets printed, packaged and shipped. t’s so important that your photos are printed using the highest standards to preserve the color, definition and overall quality!

05 What is the average investment clients make?

I typically book 2-3 months out - depending on the time of year. In the fall, I am usually booked out 4-6 months (people love booking early for Christmas cards!), so my availability is limited. I can only book a number of sessions each month to ensure I don't overbook and burn out.

05 What is the average investment clients make?

I begin all my sessions one hour prior to sunset or at the start of sunrise. This is known as "golden hour" and will provide the best diffused, golden lighting. Shooting at time before golden hour, would not be ideal because of the harsh lighting and shadows.

04 When do you start your sessions?

It all depends on what my clients are looking for specifically. My clients average investment is anywhere from $1000 - $2500. I do offer payment plans after the nonrefundable 50% retainer fee is paid, so clients are able to make small payments up until their session!

Yes, of course! Feel free to ask me for any help. I provide access to my client closet which offers pieces for moms and children!

I want you to feel comfortable during your session!

During my editing process, I make sure to focus and enhance on what is already there. I will remove any background objects that may not complement the photo well. I do NOT change body shapes, do head swaps or anything unnatural.
