How far in advance should I book my session?

For smaller sessions, you’re welcome to book up to a week in advance, depending on availability. For larger sessions—such as weddings, full branding packages, or destination shoots—I require at least 3 months’ notice to ensure proper planning and availability.

How do I book a session?

To book a session, please complete the inquiry form with as much detail as possible. Once I receive it, I’ll send over a contract reflecting your request. Your session is fully secured once the signed contract and non-refundable deposit are received. Please note that all bookings are on a first-come, first-served basis.

A signed contract and non-refundable deposit are required to secure your session.

Clients are welcome to reschedule as long as it aligns with my availability and is requested at least 72 hours in advanceof the session date. Cancellations are allowed; however, the non-refundable deposit will be forfeited.

What happens if I'm running late?

Sessions begin and end at the scheduled time outlined in your contract. If rescheduling is needed due to tardiness, a $75 fee will apply. Sessions will be rescheduled if you are more than 45 minutes late. No-shows will result in cancellation of services with no refunds issued.

How many outfit changes can I have?

There’s no limit on outfit changes, as long as they fit within your allotted shooting time.

Can I choose the location, or do you suggest them?

You're encouraged to choose a location that's meaningful to you. If you don’t have a specific place in mind, I’m more than happy to suggest spots in areas I’m familiar with.

Do you help with posing and direction?

Part of my job is to guide and pose you throughout the session so you feel confident and at ease. I may ask a few questions about your style and personality to help you feel natural and stay true to yourself in front of the camera.

What days and times do you offer sessions?

Shorter sessions are scheduled during morning or afternoon golden hour and can be booked on any day I’m available. Please note that holiday bookings may be subject to higher rates.

Can I bring a pet, friend, or family member to the session?

Absolutely! I believe having your loved ones—whether it’s friends, family, or pets—join in your photos adds something special and fun. Anyone is welcome to be part of the session, as long as it fits within the time and nature of the shoot. They are are encouraged to come as your support system, as well!

Will I be able to choose which images get edited?

For smaller sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to select which photos you’d like fully edited. For larger sessions, I will curate the final selection due to the high volume of images captured and the nature of the session.

Will I get high-resolution images?

All fully edited photos are delivered in high resolution. For branding packages, web- and social media-optimized sizes are also available upon request.

What type of retouching or editing can I expect?

I carefully edit each photo to enhance color, lighting, and composition while maintaining a natural look. This includes basic adjustments like exposure and contrast, as well as skin smoothing and minor retouching when needed. However, I do not manipulate bodies or facial features in any way.

Everything included in your session is based on the package you select and will be outlined in your contract. Any special fees will be discussed beforehand and clearly stated in the agreement.

Sessions booked outside my primary service areas may be subject to travel fees. Destination sessions are priced separately and not included in this policy.

How are travel costs calculated for out-of-area bookings?

Travel costs are calculated based on travel time and commuting expenses. These rates may vary depending on the season, local events, or inflation.

You hold personal rights to your photos, which means you're free to use them for personal purposes. However, a separate agreement is required for any commercial use.

Will you post my images on social media or your website?

All photos taken may be used on my website, social media, and other platforms to showcase past work, promote my services, or create content for marketing purposes.

If you'd like, I'm happy to discuss wardrobe options based on the style of session you're envisioning. I’d love to collaborate on creative ideas and tailor the look to match the overall feel of your shoot.

What happens if it rains or there's bad weather?

In the event of bad weather, I’ll work with you to reschedule based on our mutual availability. I’ll do everything I can to ensure your session still takes place.
