Feeling Overwhelmed?

Sure, that is fine. But travel time counts towards session time, I would say one to two location is best.

Within 50 miles at my own expense and anywhere else if you are willing to cover the expenses ($0.50 per mile)

No. I retain the copyright to the images I take, however, a personal print release is issued so that you can use the images for personal printing, social media, etc.

Outdoors, the best light for portraits is early morning or before sunset. Parks and urban locations are a great choice.
If children will be in the photos, pick a time when children are relaxed but energetic and won’t need to eat or nap.

Your choice. Pick somewhere that you find beautiful. Easy access is important when dealing with children or pregnant women, and also consider the time of year. But ultimately pick somewhere that reflects your personality and style.

It’s true, sadly I can’t control the weather. But I can use it to create some fun and unique portraits. If you are feeling adventurous I am up for anything. If not, we can talk, and move indoors or find a location that will work.

A standard session is one-and-a-half hours, or a little longer or shorter depending on how everyone is feeling.

Keep it simple. Small patterns photograph funny and should be avoided. I would suggest solid colors with great textures and layers! Also, pick a color theme and go with it. Accessories are great as well, bring several jackets, scarves, sunglasses, or whatever else you want to!

I ask for three weeks. However, after taking the images, I can’t wait to work on them. In general, depending on how many photos are taken I will have them done in about a week.

Yes! I offer two different options, basic and premium edits. I do not do major body sculpting or things that look unnatural. I believe we are all beautiful and will keep images as natural-looking as possible.

Yes, I request that all clients sign a contract and a model release form.

Yes, 50% of the original price for the session is required as a booking fee. A photo session is not considered booked until the booking fee is made. Booking fees are nonrefundable.

I accept cash, credit card, or venmo

If it is 48 hours or more prior to your session contact me and let’s see if we can work something out. The booking fee is non-refundable so I try and reschedule. If it is less than 48 hours until your session I will try to reschedule but there is no guarantee. 

You are free to book another session. The booking fee will not be refunded nor can it be used as the booking fee for another session. 

I will wait for the entire time of the session and keep that time available. If the client shows up during the time we will carry out the photo session with whatever time is remaining. If I try to be flexible and accommodating but if I have other engagements scheduled the session will end at the scheduled time.
