The sooner, the better! Booking ahead gives us plenty of time to plan your session, choose the perfect location, coordinate outfits, and bring your ideas to life. That said, you’re always welcome to reach out for last-minute availability!

Every session is different, so I don’t promise an exact number of images. You’ll receive a carefully curated gallery of professionally edited photographs that showcase the best of your session, with plenty of variety to choose from.

You’ll receive a selection of sneak peeks shortly after your session, followed by your complete professionally edited gallery within the timeframe outlined in your agreement. I’ll make sure every final image receives the care and attention it deserves!

My editing is clean, intentional, and true to you. I want your portraits to feel polished and elevated while still looking like you, preserving natural skin tones, personality, and all the details that make the images uniquely yours.

Absolutely! And you’re probably not as awkward as you think! I’ll guide you through posing, expressions, and movement throughout your session so you never have to wonder what to do. My goal is to help you feel confident, comfortable, and look your absolute best while still feeling completely like yourself.

Absolutely! Your gallery includes personal printing rights, allowing you to print and enjoy your photographs for personal use. You'll also have access to high-resolution files for printing.

Start by sending an inquiry through my contact form and telling me a little about what you have in mind! Once we’ve confirmed availability and chosen the session that fits you best, your date is officially reserved after your agreement is signed and your retainer is paid.
