My session times depend on the weather. If it’s sunny, my sessions start 1.5hrs before sunset (golden hour). Please keep this in mind when choosing to book with me. I create my best work in the golden hour, but I understand that can sometimes it can be late for little ones. As a parent, I can understand not wanting to keep kiddos up past bedtime, but I can assure you, I’m a pro at dealing with tired kids! So I would ask that you consider making an exception on this day so that I can create beautiful images for your family. However, on an overcast day, shooting times aren’t strict. So if you want more freedom in time, I’d suggest scheduling for fall or winter.

I watch the weather very closely the week of a shoot. I generally will stick to a shoot if it 40% chance or less on shooting day. If it’s above 40%, I will always recommend we reschedule. I have found that rainy session don’t generally produce the images people fall in love with. Rain means wet, cold kids, rushed sessions, grumpy parents, frizzy, hair, etc. I understand that some clients would rather stick it out, which is totally up to them. I will not, however, offer a re-shoot if your final images are affected by elements. So please make sure you consider this before making your final decision.

I have a three-week turn around time. When your photos are ready, you'll receive a private email with a link to your gallery.

Your gallery will be available for download for 30 days. You will receive an email notification one week before your gallery becomes unavailable. After 60 days, if you failed to download your gallery, there will be a retrieval fee.

Picture taking is fun, but the real work starts at my computer. I work very hard at making sure I handpick the very best photos from your session. I include all and every picture that represents my work best. I never leave out photos, so the answer is no. I can not and will not include raw files or ‘other’ photos. But I promise you that what I send you is the best of the best!

If there is something you don’t love about the way your final photos look, please tell me! I would much rather work with you on it than for you to throw a filter over my photo. I spend hours hand editing your pictures, so when you throw a filter over it, it truly takes away from all my hard work. I’m providing a service, so like anyone other services, if you aren’t happy, please allow me the ability to resolve your concern, within reason. Before you book, please check out my latest work. That is the best way to get a feel for my final products.

Great question. From beginning to end, I want to make this whole photo experience as stress-free as possible, which is why all my clients have access to a premium styling service. Style and Select is a personalized styling service you can use in the comfort of your own home. Fill out the simple questionnaire about your family, color scheme, and overall vibe of clothes you'd like to see. The quick results page will you show photo-approved clothing pieces for each of your family members and you can view outfits side-by-side. Feel free to play around with it until you have selected the perfect outfit combo. Your final results will be emailed to both you and me.

Once a date has been set, I will send an email with an invoice and contract. I require a $250 deposit (non-refundable) and remaining balance paid by your session date. You’re welcome to pay before, too, but the day of at the very latest. This ensures a smooth workflow and no delays in receiving your photos. I accept cash, check, Venmo.
*Non-refundable deposit can be used toward any session with me*

Because my work is all about storytelling, I am no longer offering mini sessions. If you’re hiring me, you’re hiring me to tell your family’s story, and that takes time. I do, however, offer a $50 referral credit.
