What to expect

Before booking, we'll have a conversation on your expectations, budget, and vision to curate the perfect photoshoot plan for you. After booking, I'll reach out to iron out all of the details about locations, outfits, and specific shots you want. Edited images delivered within 1 week via your private online gallery.

Booking & payment

Your date is securely reserved with no booking fee required! The balance is due the day of our session, and I happily accept Venmo, PayPal, checks, or cash. Please provide a 48-hour notice for cancellations, as late notices (barring emergencies/weather hiccups) are subject to a 50% fee. Sessions are non-refundable, but your happiness is my #1 priority, so if you aren't completely thrilled with the final result, I'll do everything I can to make it perfect for you.

What to wear

Wear something that makes you feel confident. Avoid busy patterns and large logos (unless it fits the theme!). Coordinating colors (not strictly matching) works great for groups. Earth tones, neutrals, and pastels photograph beautifully! Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions.
