FAQ

you will get a full description of my process after inquiring and receiving my investment and experience guide. briefly — you inquire, I reach out and send the guide, we decide together if we’re a good fit (regarding vision), we decide on a date, you pay your deposit, and we begin planning!

as early as you’re ready! I currently have two booking seasons. January-May and June-November.

starts at $1000 for an all inclusive session — I will send you my full investment and experience guide after you have inquired. but simply said, if your primary goal is to simply find a budget photographer, I may not be the one for you. I spend on average 20 hours per session. I pour my creative heart and soul into making it a worthwhile venture and charge to make it worthwhile time spent away from my precious family.

if my work resonates with you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. if we are a good fit, I would love to talk about your budget and see what we can work out.

I do mini sessions a few times a year - typically around mother’s day and in the summer and fall for yearly family portraits. join my mailing list on the book page to have the opportunity to grab a mini session. depending on the season, they are sometimes booked up before I ever post on social media.

yes, you will pay a 25% non-refundable deposit to secure your spot.

if we can make it work with scheduling, I’m all for it! one of my favorite things is traveling to and exploring new places. there will be added fees for travel more than 1.5 hours from my home.

my style is a mix of documentary and lifestyle photography — and I also love an editorial moment. I will prompt you and make sure you do not feel awkward or uncomfortable. many of my prompts are movement or interaction based. basically, I’ll be with you for a family date.

I get it, I have one too. if your partner isn’t going to be into this, I would suggest booking a mother/fatherhood session or maybe finding a different photographer. in order to get the photos you’re hoping for, we all need to be present and engaged. this isn’t a stare at the camera and fake a smile situation. in all honestly, the photo adverse often leave my sessions saying “that wasn’t so bad” at the very least, and typically actually rave about how enjoyable it was.

no! I love to take photos in your home because it is your space and it feels more like the proverbial home to me. your home doesn’t need to be any certain sort of way to have photos taken in it. as long as there is some natural light and you’re up for embracing creativity, we will make it happen. you don’t even need to clean up for me. if you prefer somewhere outside or somewhere other than your home — we’ll figure out a great spot together. the planning is part of the fun!

I spend multiple hours on each gallery perfecting every image. I will take care of pimples or blemishes that wouldn’t typically be there or anything that detracts from the image. I will not change your body’s shape, paint hair on bald spots, or anything else that changes who you honestly and beautifully are.
