Wear something you feel genuinely good in. Comfort shows, confidence shows, and so does “I hate this shirt but here we are.”

For families, try coordinating rather than matching. Think color palette, not matching uniforms. Pick a theme of colors that compliment each other like neutrals, earth tones, or a fun pop of color, but avoid everyone wearing the exact same shirt unless you’re intentionally going for the “family band” look.

Lightly, yes, but the way I light and photograph naturally softens little imperfections, so most images don’t need much retouching.

For headshots, I include retouching on up to 10 images with natural skin smoothing, blemish cleanup, and close-up polishing if needed. I keep everything subtle and flattering - nothing overly edited or plastic-looking. I want you to recognize yourself, in a good way.

Most galleries are delivered in 1–2 weeks, depending on the session. Events are usually at least 2 weeks though due to the number of photos included.

You’ll receive everything via email in an online gallery. Depending on the session type, you’ll either:

• download the entire gallery

or

• select your selected images to download.

Either way, you won’t be waiting long - I’m fast because I edit like a tiny caffeinated troll in the dark.

Absolutely. Bring the chaos, that’s honestly where some of the best storytelling comes from.

A few notes though:

For dogs - Please give me a heads up and, if possible, bring someone to help. It’s best to have pups arrive at the end of the session. I generally don’t recommend dogs for mini sessions because the time crunch can get… spicy.

Kids with sensory needs or concerns: Please reach out ahead of time. I will always adapt the session to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible.

My goal is for your session to feel fun and relaxed, not stressful.

It depends on the session type.

Some sessions include the full gallery. Others include a set number of images.

No matter what, you’ll always have the option to purchase the entire gallery for a reasonable fee.

And yes, I always deliver more than the “average” photographer - choosing favorites might be the hardest part.

If the sky looks like it’s plotting against us, we’ll reschedule. I’m good, but I can’t Photoshop away a hurricane.

You’ll get a beautiful online gallery where you can download, share, and obsessively scroll through your images. You can also order prints right from the gallery if you want the “I’m a real adult with framed photos” experience.

Yes, please do , and tagging me is my love language.

Absolutely. Whether you want moody woods, golden fields, something urban, something cozy at home, or “just make me look cute,” I’ve got ideas.

They will… eventually. If not, we pivot. I am basically a toddler/teenager whisperer with a camera. Also, so much of my work is rooted in the candid, don't worry, you'll be happy. Bribes help.

I won’t change who you are, but I’ll use flattering angles, good lighting, natural retouching, and prompts that bring out your confidence. You're already photogenic, I’ll prove it.

The sooner the better, especially during busy seasons. If it’s October and you want weekend availability, I will gently send you a prayer.

Same.

Good news, posing people who “don’t like being photographed” is basically my superpower. I’ll guide you the whole time so you don’t have to wonder what to do with your hands.
