FAQ
How does this all work? What's your process?
After your session, you will receive your photos on your own personal online gallery. Your gallery will include all of the final edited images that I choose from your session. I will not include EVERY single photo from our session. The only photos that will not be included are duplicates, blurry ones, if your eyes are closed, or simply photos that are not up to my standards for my clients' final images. Don't worry though, I will not keep any important ones from you ;)
From there, depending on how many images are included in your session, you will 'favorite' that number of images. Once you've done that, shoot me a message and let me know so that way I can get your chosen images ready for download for you!
Your gallery will be live for 14 days after you receive it.
Why these prices?
These prices and packages are based on my time spent traveling, capturing your special moments, carefully proofing, professionally editing your photos, and the cost of high quality images.
What should I wear?
Anything that makes you comfortable (besides sweatpants, preferably ;) ).
Avoid bright colors and patterns, as they tend to not photograph well.
Send me some of your outfit ideas or bring a couple extra to your session and I can help you put some together!
When will I receive my photos?
Photos will be delivered via online gallery around 2 weeks (give or take) after our session.
Feel free to download, favorite, or share your images from your gallery!
A print release is given with all sessions. This allows you to print unlimited sizes and quantities of your images with my permission!
Can I buy prints through you?
I currently only offer digital images. You will be able to download your images from your online gallery and save them to your computer or flash drive to print images yourself.
I can recommend an online photo lab I personally use, along with all of my other clients! They're super reasonable and great quality! Plus they offer so many products.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, check, or preferably Venmo!
How do you prefer to communicate?
Text or email, please!

Can I access my gallery after it expired?
Yes and no.
Once your gallery has expired, the link is no longer valid.
I can upload your gallery again for you, but there will be a $50 fee.
I highly recommend burning your images to a disc or flash drive on top of saving them to your computer.
Also, please make sure you download your entire gallery, and not just individual photos.
Can I reschedule my photoshoot?
Yes, you can!
Please give a 24 hour notice. I totally understand if things come up or someone gets sick.
As of right now for fall shoots, I am available Monday-Friday anytime after 5pm. And Saturday mornings.
Saturday sessions are an additional $25.
I do NOT shoot on Sundays.
Weather permitting, also! (To be determined by photographer).
I will not shoot if there is a 30% or more chance of rain that day. Trust me, you will not want to shoot on a rainy, gloomy, cloudy day. Let's wait for a nice, sunny day! You'll be happy you did!
Can I get a refund?
The $100 deposit is non-refundable. Once this is paid, I have completely set aside your day and time for you and will have turned away any possible future shoots for this day.
Additional refunds will not be given for poor outfit choices beyond my recommendation, bad hair days, or simply not liking yourself in photos (sorry). You are booking with me by seeing my photography style based on previous sessions in my galleries. Please do not book with me if I am not suitable to your style or needs.
The time, heart, and effort I put into your session and editing your photos is very valuable to me.
The only time a refund will be given is if we cannot come up with a reschedule date agreement.
Do you offer more sessions than what's listed?
Yep!
If you need anniversary photos, business headshots, in-home sessions, or even pictures for your dog's 1st birthday, I'm your girl!
Do you offer newborn sessions?
This is the one session I do not offer. I do not have the proper equipment, studio space, experience, or props for a newborn.
I have a fellow photographer friend that takes amazing newborn photos that I can refer you to though!
Can I bring my animals with me for a photoshoot?
One word. YES!
