Frequently asked questions
GENERAL QUESTIONS
WHAT PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE DO YOU SPECIALIZE IN?
My photography blends fine art detail with editorial storytelling, allowing every image to speak with intention and emotion. I don’t believe in shooting endlessly; I believe in crafting photographs that feel purposeful—alive with connection, movement, and meaning. Each frame is designed to be both beautiful and authentic, prioritizing quality, artistry, and a deeply thoughtful experience.
DO YOU OFFER MINI SESSIONS?
Each fall and spring, I open a limited number of Mini Sessions — thoughtfully curated, light-filled portraits designed for families who cherish beautiful moments in a shorter, intentional setting. These sessions are released exclusively through Instagram first, so I invite you to follow along for the latest announcements, dates, and booking updates.
WHAT IS THE DEPOSIT AND HOW DO WE PAY?
To secure your session, a non-refundable 50% retainer is required at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due on the day of your session. This ensures your date and time are reserved exclusively for you. No images will be edited until final payment is received, and gallery will be posted within 3 weeks of receiving final payment if it is made after session.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE PHOTOS?
Your full gallery will be delivered within 2-3 weeks. During this time, I thoughtfully curate, edit, and refine each image—carefully selecting the frames that best tell your story and retouching them with my signature fine-art approach. Every portrait is given intentional attention so your final collection feels luminous, cohesive, and timeless.
WHAT IF WEATHER OR SICKNESS CAUSES US TO RESCHEDULE?
Retainer fees are good for one reschedule at photographers discretion. If rain is expected, we’ll connect about rescheduling that maintains the same mood and experience. Your session should feel effortless and enjoyable, and I’ll make sure the conditions support that.
MATERNITY/NEWBORN
IS THERE A DISCOUNT WHEN BOOKING BOTH A MATERNITY AND NEWBORN SESSION?
Yes, please email me to inquire about thi deal. It’s a wonderul way of celebrating this special season with you and creating a seamless, thoughtful experience from bump to baby
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK A NEWBORNW SESSION?
The best time to book is during your third trimester - your due date will be added to my calendar so I can hold space for your little one. Once baby arrives, please let me know within the 1st week so we can schedule while they’re still in those precious early days.
WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT FOR OUR SESSION?
At the start of your session, you’ll be dressed and ready to capture portraits of the family together. Once those are complete, I focus on your baby for solo portraits—during this time, you can relax, then we will take a short break where you can feed or change your little one if needed. My goal is to make the experience calm, effortless, and enjoyable for your whole family.
WHERE /WHEN WILL THE NEWBORN SESSION TAKE PLACE?
The ideal window is between days 6 and 14, when your baby is still sleepy and easily swaddled. While the early days are ideal, I understand this phase can be hectic. If needed, sessions can be scheduled up to 5 weeks old, allowing for a calm, beautiful experience while your baby is still small and sweet. Sessions are typically held on weekday mornings to capture in that soft morning light. Sessions will take place in the comfort of your home, making the experience calm, convenient, and gentle during this precious time.
