Experience
How it works
1. Connect & Discover
This is the easy part. Reach out and share your vision. The importance of each person, each moment. And we will work together while it all comes into view.
2. Plan & Prepare
Draw inspiration from your custom style guide sent out in your booking email. Send all the questions, all the concerns, all the inspo boards, wardrobe photos. And trust that leading up to the session, I will be connecting. I am present from start to finish!
Elopement + Wedding packages come with a complimentary phone/video consultation.
3. Capture & Deliver
Now we wait. Prepare for a sneak peek after the session. Pick your favorites. Then I take care of the rest for you. Behind the scenes, I am hand-editing a specially curated album, just for you. Turnaround time is around 2 weeks for regular portrait sessions and 4+ weeks for events. Soon enough, you'll have private access to a personal online gallery to download your digital images to your heart's content.
From planning to memories, every step with intention
When booking, you won't be dealing with excessive automation, open-ended questions, second guessing and wondering. I am present and aware. Checking in with your needs, concerns, and vision the entire way.
FAQ
How do we book a photo session with you?
To ensure that I am fully aware of all the details of your special moments, along with connecting with my families - I require booking to be completed through personal message. Whether that be email, phone call, or messenger. Please include a little bit of your vision for your session, and we will work together to make it come to life!
What should we wear for our session?
Honestly, come as you are. But if you are worried, I provide a complementary custom style guide with every booking email sent out. I also provide complementary wardrobe consultation after booking, talking you through colors, patterns, and coordination.
How long does it take to get our photos?
Lifestyle portrait sessions have approximately a 2-3 week turnaround time. Events vary and can be 4+ weeks. Most wedding albums are completed within 8-9 weeks. Rush editing is available for albums, starting at $70, guaranteeing final album within 48-72 hours.
What if there is bad weather?
Things happen! I try to allow flexibility for re-scheduling if there must be weather-related cancelations. However, I do my best to be pro-active and reschedule ahead of time if possible. More details are laid out in my agreement form.
How much does it cost to book?
To complete booking, a non-refundable retainer of either $75 or 25% is required to book, whichever is greater. For portrait sessions, the remainder is due the day before. For events, the remainder is due the week before.
Do you have any discounts?
Yes! I provide year-round discounts for active military, active first responders, teachers, + parents of special needs children/adults. A license or ID will be required upon booking to receive your discount. If these do not apply to you, please feel free to follow my FB page, as any special offers, giveaways, or promotions will be shared there!
Returning clients always receive a discount.
Can I order prints or albums through you?
I do not offer printing services or purchasing prints through my website at this time. However, I can provide different print lab recommendations.
Do we get to pick our images?
If you purchased a package with a limit on images, yes! You will have access to preview the all photos and pick the images you'd like included in your final album. If you chose a package with no limit on images, expect a minimum of 40 images to be included. However, I average more. My priority is quality over quantity. Your final album will include the option to download the original resolution and a compressed file for both printing + social media.
Do you use AI to edit your photos?
I believe photography is an art. From capturing moments to post product efforts. No AI is used to alter faces or amplify backgrounds. All images are carefully culled, selected, and personally edited.
Do you require a photo release form?
Yes, I do! But 2026, I made the careful decision to remove all identifiable photos of minor children from my socials and website. When signing your session agreement, a photo release form clause is included. However, I will automatically refrain from sharing any photos of your child's face regardless. Only unidentifiable photos (blurred or poses with no face easily seen) may be shared. Please note, I take protecting children seriously, and I do not allow open access to your albums. All albums are password protected and I consciously have your child's safety in mind when culling and storing images. I also do not run your child's face through any AI programs. I have two littles of my own! I would want someone to do the same for my family. Of course, you are welcome to share your photos wherever you see appropriate.
Can I purchase additional images?
Absolutely! If you decide you want to purchase additional images after your preview, you are more than welcome. Images are $10/image. After 10 additional images, bulk discounting is available and varies 5%-20%.
Why don't all packages come with unlimited photos?
As of right now, I have decided to provide both an option for both limited/unlimited packages. Since I personally cull through each gallery and individually edit each photo without assistance from AI, my "limited" packages allow me to offer affordable packages with high-quality results. I pride myself in quality rather than quantity, and like to provide final albums within a reasonable time. Due to the time I spend thoughtfully editing, if I offered only unlimited packages, I would have to significantly increase pricing to accommodate for the time and storage needed for large galleries. Since this is not what everyone is looking for, I feel that currently offering both options create the most flexibility for my families.
