Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should we book?

A.My calendar fills up quickly, especially in the spring, fall and before holidays! I would highly recommend booking 3-6 months before you would like your session to take place.

When will we receive our photos?

A.You will receive a preview within 48 hours of your session and a full gallery within two weeks. Previews are not applicable to petite sessions.

Is a retainer required?

A.Sessions booked within two weeks require full payment. For bookings farther than two weeks out, a $250 non-refundable booking retainer is required with complete payment due two weeks prior to the session date.

I have another question - how can I reach you?
