Frequently Asked Questions

Booking/Session FAQs

How do I book a session with you?

Start by browsing my portfolio to make sure my style feels like the right fit. If it does (yay!), head to my contact page and fill out the inquiry form.

I’ll respond within 24–48 hours (check your spam just in case!). From there, we’ll choose a date, location, and finalize the details. Once your contract and invoice are completed, your session is officially secured!

Is a deposit required to book?

Yes — a non-refundable 50% deposit is required to secure your session date. This ensures your spot on my calendar and allows me to begin planning your session. Booking is only confirmed once both the contract and deposit have been completed.

When is the remaining balance due?

The remaining balance is due no later than 24 hours before your scheduled session. Final galleries will be delivered once full payment has been received.

How far in advance should I book?

I recommend booking 5–6 months in advance (or sooner!) to secure your preferred date. Popular seasons — especially spring senior sessions and fall shoots — tend to fill quickly. The earlier you book, the better chance you have of getting the date and time you want!

What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Life happens — and I totally understand that! In the case of severe weather, illness, or unforeseen circumstances, we can absolutely reschedule to a new date that works for both of us. I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for client reschedules.

Please note that retainers are non-refundable but can be transferred to a new date. If I am ever unable to make it due to illness or emergency, I will reach out as soon as possible to reschedule.

What should I wear?

I always encourage my clients to dress for the vibe they want to achieve—and, of course, for the weather! Whether it’s jeans and sweaters, dresses, or dress shirts with khakis, it’ll all look great. No matter what you choose, you’re going to look amazing!

Do you help with posing?

Of course! I totally understand that posing can feel a little awkward, especially if it’s your first photoshoot. My goal is to create a fun, relaxed environment where you can just be yourself. Some of my favorite moments are the laughs and playful interactions that happen naturally!

Can I get the unedited/RAW photos?

I do not provide RAW or unedited files, as they don’t reflect the final quality and style of my work. All delivered images are fully edited and ready to use.

How long will it take to receive my photos?

You’ll receive your photos within two weeks at most — but most galleries are delivered within 3–5 days! Turnaround time can vary slightly depending on how many sessions I’m currently editing, but I’ll always keep you updated throughout the process.

Can I customize my own package if the existing options don't meet my needs?

Absolutely! I’m happy to create a custom package that fits your vision and needs. Just let me know what you’re looking for, and we’ll build something that works perfectly for you.

Wedding FAQs

How far in advance should we book our wedding photography?

I recommend booking as soon as you have your wedding date secured to ensure availability, especially during peak wedding season (May–October), as dates can fill quickly.

Do you require a deposit to secure our date?

Yes - a non-refundable 30% deposit is required to secure your wedding date. This ensures your spot on my calendar and lets us start planning your special day.

Can we request specific shots or a shot list?

Absolutely! I love when couples share their must-have shots or special moments. Feel free to send over any ideas or a shot list, and I’ll make sure we capture them!

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?

I’ll send a sneak peek gallery within 72 hours so you can enjoy a few special moments right away! Your full wedding gallery will be ready within 4–6 weeks.

How many photos will we get back?

The details vary based on the package you select. For more information, please visit my Weddings Prices & Packages page.

Can I get a second shooter?

Absolutely! You can add a second shooter at any time for an additional fee. (Inquire for more details)


What You're Paying For

When you book with me..


Booking a session with me isn’t just about the final images — it’s about creating a meaningful, memorable experience that feels totally you. Here’s what I put into every session to make that happen.

Professional Equipment and Expertise


Every photo comes from years of practice, high-quality gear, and expert editing tools. Plus, all the behind-the-scenes systems — galleries, software, and subscriptions — that keep everything running smoothly so your session feels seamless.

Planning and Communication


From helping pick outfits to scouting beautiful locations, I’m with you every step of the way. Clear communication and thoughtful planning make your experience easy, stress-free, and fun — because your comfort and confidence matter as much as the final images.

Location Scouting and Travel


I love finding the perfect spots for your photos — whether it’s a meaningful local spot or somewhere new and special. Travel is part of the experience, and I’m happy to go the extra mile (literally!) to make your session feel personal and stress-free.

Guidance and Creative Direction


I’ll kindly guide you through poses, prompts, and natural movement so you never feel stiff or awkward. My goal is to capture the real, confident, and authentic moments that make your photos truly feel like you. First session or tenth session, I’ve got you.

It’s All in the Details


I believe the magic is in the little things — the glances, the laughter, the natural movement. I focus on every detail so your photos are authentic, meaningful, and made to last.
