FAQ
 
Answers to your questions
-
How soon or far in advanced can I book?
You can book your session as early as you like! I recommend scheduling 3 to 6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date, especially during peak seasons. If you need a last-minute session, feel free to reach out—I'll do my best to accommodate your request.
Do you offer in-home sessions?
Yes! In-home sessions are absolutely available. To help create the beautiful, light-filled images you see in my portfolio, I recommend choosing rooms with plenty of natural light and having blinds or curtains open to let in as much daylight as possible. Before your session, a general tidy-up of the spaces you'd like to use—removing everyday clutter from surfaces, floors, and bedside tables—can make a big difference in creating clean, timeless images while still keeping your home feeling authentic and lived-in.
Do you require a retainer fee?
Yes, I do require a retainer fee. A non-refundable $150 retainer is due at the time of booking to secure your session date and time. This amount goes toward your total session cost.
Where do sessions take place and will I be able to choose?
Yes! I shoot at a variety of beautiful outdoor locations and am always happy to recommend a spot based on the look you’re going for. If you have a special place in mind—or prefer an in-home session—that works too!
Will you guide us on how to pose?
Yes! I’ll gently guide you with natural prompts so you never feel stiff or awkward. My goal is to capture genuine connection and relaxed, authentic moments.
What should we wear for our session?
Once you book, you’ll receive my Styling Guide + Session Prep, filled with tips on what to wear, how to coordinate as a family, and what colors work best on camera. The guide also includes store recommendations for all ages and styles to make outfit planning easy and stress-free. You'll feel fully prepared and confident heading into your session!
How long will it take to get our images back?
You’ll receive a social media sneak peek within 1–3 days, a blog post preview with highlighted images around 1 week after your session, and the full edited gallery will be delivered within 7-10 days.
Will we get all of our images back?
You will receive a carefully curated selection of the best, fully edited images from your session. I review and choose the strongest shots to ensure you get only high-quality photos that truly capture your family’s story.
Can we print our photos?
Absolutely! All final images come with a print release. I also offer professional prints through your gallery if you want heirloom-quality products.
What if we need to reschedule in the case of an emergency or bad weather?
If bad weather or an emergency comes up, we can easily reschedule your session at no extra cost, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance. I’ll work with you to find a new date that fits your schedule.
What does a wardrobe consultation consist of or look like?
Over the phone or by text, we’ll go over what you already have to work with, any pieces you’d like to incorporate, and what you might still want to purchase. After we chat, I’ll create a visual mockup showing how everything could come together — giving you a clear idea of the overall look and how it will all fit together.
