FAQ

How much?

A Full Portrait Session includes an in person style consult, professional makeup, multiple outfit changes, and a reveal session where you would hand select the images. Images not included in the session fee.

Individual Images start at $190. The price of the portraits decrease with packages of 6 or more. You can spend $500 or you can spend $5000 depending on the type of products and the quantity of images. Purchase only what you love.

Most clients purchase my middle package which includes 20 matted prints and comes in a beautiful keepsake box made in Italy, but there is no hard sell.

What you buy is completely up to you. And I mean that. I promise you an amazing experience, and beautiful portraits that you’ll love.

Headshot Sessions start at $380 for 30 minute session and 2 digital images (pro makeup, wardrobe consult not included).

What should I wear to my session?

Wear something that you love and feel amazing in! It is best to stick to solid, complimentary colors as a family. Patterns don’t always turn out the best in photos and they can be distracting. In the full portrait experience, a professional stylist will come to you and go through your closet with you, suggest colors or outfit ideas, or review options you have already in mind to make sure your outfits will photograph well.

What location do you suggest for the session?

I always suggest my studio as the ideal locations for a session. Sessions in my studio are wonderful because it’s simply the perfect space to create beautiful or professional lasting images with perfect indoor and outdoor spaces.

What time would the session start?

Studio sessions usually start at 9am and last anywhere from 30 minutes up to 3 hours. (If you added Professional makeup service it can take an additional hour). Studio sessions can take place rain or shine, which is why I love studio sessions so much. Outdoor photos can be added to a studio session and time can vary, if you want that gorgeous golden hour glow then the session would need to start about 2 hours before sunset or 2 hours after sunrise. This time will change throughout the year. If the session will take place in your home it will depend on when your house gets the best light, which is typically morning/ early afternoons.

Do you use props?

I prefer to keep sessions natural and focus on the connection of you rather than the props. However, I am open to using anything in a session that means something to you & that make your session extra special. If you have a certain item or pose you would like incorporated into the session please make sure to notify me ahead of time!

Can I bring my dog, cat, etc?

Yes! I am an adoptive dog mom myself. I love dogs but I don’t discriminate among animals!

Can I bring my grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, etc?

I would love to add in any grandparents or family member that you would like into the session as they allow! Please note that there will be an additional charge of $50 per person for 4+ people.

How far out should I book the session?

If you need a session last minute please send me a message. Ideally sessions should be booked at least 1 month in advance. Beyond 1 month you can book as far out as you wish! In studio, 30 minute headshot sessions, without hair and makeup, can usually be booked with shorter notice, subject to availability.

The forecast shows rain for our session date, now what?

Studio sessions can be done rain or shine! If you wanted a partial outdoor session, then we will reschedule. If it is just cloudy, that is actually preferred and clouds help to create the most beautiful lighting in photos!

I can’t wait! When will I get my images?

I’m excited too and I will work to get your beautiful images back to you as soon as possible. I hand edit and color correct each image that is delivered so it will be so worth the wait! The standard time frame that they will be available for download from my online gallery is within 2 weeks of the session for 40 images. If you selected 1 headshot image, typically that will be available for you to download within 48 hours. That time may vary but I will always let you know ahead of time.

Do you have a print release?

Yes, however, I provide prints. The discount or drugstore print labs do not adhere to the same standards as professional labs. The colors and quality do not match the original image and in order to control the quality of your printed heirlooms, I include a print though my professional lab and a digital file with each image that you purchase.

Why can’t I see all the original images?

Unedited images are not a true representation of my work and they are in a file format that you may not have the correct software to even open.  The editing process is a part of the creative workflow.  I retain the artistic rights to which images are chosen and how they are edited.  I do everything I can to create the images you will love for years to come.

Will I get to see all of the images and decide which ones I want edited?

I retain the rights to which images are chosen to be edited and presented to you.  If you know of a certain type of look you want in an image, please feel free to tell me before the session. 

I have a couple poses I really want in mind, can you work those into the session?

Absolutely let me know what you have in mind and I will do my best to accommodate requests.
