Frequently Asked Questions
Having questions before you book a photo-shoot is normal. Here are the questions most people asked.
What kind of photography do you offer?
I love documenting all states and ages of our human existence including: childhood and teenage years, couples, contemporary/glamour portraits, engagement, boudoir /intimate sessions, creative and magazine style sessions, personal branding and business portraits, family and multiple generations sessions.
I feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. How can I make sure I get good pictures?
I know exactly how that feels! My goal for our session is to make sure you are comfortable, relaxed and at ease, and just have fun during our session. I have studied posing, lighting, and techniques that help flatter you and I am here to guide you throughout your session.
How long will a session take?
We go at your pace and take all the time we need to make your vision happen because there is nothing worse than feeling rushed. Generally, my full portrait session can take anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on session type, how many people are being photographed, how many outfit changes and if we have little ones to accommodate for.
What is included in the session fee?
The session fee includes all of our time together, the initial consultation and wardrobe fitting, access to the style closet (try anything on!) and the actual session day (at the studio or on location), professional make-up styling, retouching of your images and delivery of the final images.
How much retouching do you do?
The retouching I typically do for all of my clients includes necessary color corrections, cropping and removing of temporary skin imperfections (like acne), teeth whitening, and light skin retouching. If you would like additional edits, I am happy to make them for you, upon request.
Do I bring my own clothes? What do I wear?
At the consultation, I will provide you with a welcome packet that has tips about what to wear. We will discuss what photographs well and what doesn’t.
I do have a studio wardrobe you are welcome to look through and try on so you know in advance if they work for you or not. I have multiple sizes and styles. For a full portrait session, you can bring 3-4 outfits that you love.
Children's portraits - Do you accommodate nap schedules and "best time of the day"?
Absolutely! As a mom myself, I understand the importance of a happy & rested baby and I will be arranging our session to accommodate for their needs.
How far out are you booking?
Depending on the type of session you are interested in, I like to book sessions 3-4 weeks out. However, if you are in a time crunch I will do my best to fit you in.
For maternity clients, I recommend scheduling the session no later than 30 weeks.
Can I just get the digital files?
Absolutely! Every purchased image comes with a digital file and copyrights for printing unlimited copies. My large and extra large packages come with a beautiful layflat album as well!
What products do you offer?
I proudly offer the absolute highest quality products offered to professional photographers, including bi fold folios, beautiful bound albums, and folio boxes. I also offer wall art, metal prints and canvases. If there is a product you are specifically interested in I can price it out for you!
How long until I get my images?
Within 5 days weeks of your portrait session, you will be able to view your images. You will select only the ones you love for purchase.Then I will edit and deliver the final images, usually within 14 days from your selection.
Can I purchase just ONE image?
My smallest package contains 3 images and it is $350. That is the smallest package I have available at this time.
When is the payment due?
The session fee is due at the time of booking. This will secure your portrait session day. Within 2 weeks after the session, you will be able to view the final images and purchase the products, packages or individual images. Be prepared to fall in love with all of them! Payments for all products will be due the day of your ordering session. I accept cash, check or credit cards.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I understand this is an investment and sometimes you need a little time to work towards it. Ask me about the payment plans!
Do you offer both studio and outdoor sessions?
Yes! I love the outdoors and I even have a few locations to suggest if you are struggling with ideas. For the little ones, the studio might be more comfortable, depending on age and weather.
I still have questions, do you offer a complimentary consultation, before booking?
Yes!! I offer a complimentary phone consultation, and if we cannot meet face to face we can do a video call to answer all of your questions and discuss your vision. We can talk about outfits, locations, lighting, and address any concerns you may have. To get in touch with me, simply click below.
