What is the Creative Fee and what does it cover?

To get started, there is a $250 Creative Fee. This isn’t just a booking fee; it’s your entry into a full-service experience. It covers my time, your planning and styling help, use of the studio wardrobe, your portrait session, and your private Reveal & Design Premiere.

Please note: Digital files and art pieces are purchased separately at your Reveal.

What locations can I choose from?

I offer a variety of beautiful spots including the studio, nature parks, urban downtown areas, and the beach. Once you book, we’ll chat about your vision and pick the perfect location together.

What is the cancellation policy if I’ve already booked a photo session?

The $50 retainer is non-refundable, but should you need to cancel, you have the option to apply the credit towards another session scheduled within three months. Please note that rescheduling is allowed only once.

What happens in case of rain on the scheduled day of my photo session?

I keep a close eye on the weather. If it rains, we can move your session to the studio or reschedule at no extra charge. I usually suggest waiting until right before the session, as the most beautiful sunsets often happen right after a storm!

What occurs after I submit an inquiry for a photo session?

You’ll receive an email containing our pricing brochure, and you can then book a discovery call. In this scheduled conversation, we will cover all the specifics for your upcoming session.

When is the best time for my session?

I love capturing the ‘golden hour’ just before sunset for that magical, glowing light. If we are shooting in the studio, we have more flexibility with timing. Once we have picked your location, I will provide you with the precise start time.

What types of photo sessions are available for booking?

I specialize in a range of photography sessions, including family, maternity, newborn lifestyle, and portraits. Portrait sessions can be tailored for various purposes, such as couples, branding, graduations, and professional headshots, among others.

What happens after my portrait session?

The best part! About a week after your session, you’ll be invited back to the studio for a private Reveal & Design Session. You’ll see your portraits for the first time on the big screen, and I’ll help you design custom art pieces and heirlooms made just for your home.

What is a Reveal & Design Session?

This is the best part of the whole experience! About a week after your session, you’ll come back to the studio for a private “movie night.” You’ll get to see your portraits for the first time on the big screen! I’ll be right there to help you pick your favorites and show you exactly how different art pieces—like albums or framed prints—will look in your home so you don’t have to guess.

Do I receive any digital files?

Yes! I specialize in high-quality art you can touch and feel, but I know you want to share your memories online too. For every physical art piece you purchase (like a framed portrait, an album, or a folio box), you receive the matching high-resolution digital file for your records at no extra cost.

Is it possible to buy a gift card for a photo session?

Certainly! I provide both digital and handwritten gift cards for various session types, with a range of amount options to choose from. Feel free to reach out to me for further details.

Do you offer wedding or event photography services?

Regrettably, I do not cover events or large gatherings. My specialty lies in intimate family sessions. However, I would be thrilled to capture intimate elopements between partners.
