Frequently Asked Questions

My job is to make you feel comfortable and natural.  I'll guide you through poses and help you relax so your true personality shines through.  Everyone can look great in photos with a little guidance!

Wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident!  

Coordinating outfits without being to matchy is key.  For families choose a color palette that compliments each other.  For seniors bring a few different outfits to show different sides of your personality.

For senior sessions 3 - 4 outfits are great for a variety of looks.  For family sessions I recommend one primary outfit but feel free to bring a change of clothes if you like.

Absolutely!

I love shooting in locations that are meaningful to you.  Whether it's a park, your home or a favorite hangout spot we will make it work.  I also have some great suggestions if you need some ideas.

No worries!  We'll reschedule to the next available date that works for you.  Your comfort and the quality of the photos are my top priorities.

Typically a session lasts about 1 - 2 hours.  This allows enough time for outfit changes, different poses and a variety of settings.

You can expect to receive your edited photos within 2 - 3 weeks after the session.  I'll keep you updated if there are any delays.

Pets are part of the family too!  Just let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly and ensure we have a pet-friendly location.

This is your session and I want you to love the results.  Feel free to share any ideas or inspiration you have and we'll include them into your shoot.

I offer both!

You can choose from a variety of print packages, albums and a la carte prints.  Digital files are also available as well as flash drives containing all edited photos.

You can view those packages here.

However I strongly encourage you to print some of your pictures.  If you want to read about WHY I think you should print photos, read this article.

A typical session with me whether it be a senior or family starts at $40 for a 30 minute session.  From there the cost goes up at different increments depending on the amount of time you are wanting or needing.
