Frequently asked Questions

Do I have to choose a specific collection when booking the session?

​

You don't have to choose until your preview appointment. At a custom photoshoot experience, I always create the maximum number of images for my clients.

​

​

I don't have anything to wear?

​

Don’t worry, with your booking you receive complimentary wardrobe consultation. We will go through what to wear, what looks good in photos and where to shop. You also get access to the exquisite studio wardrobe.

​

These clients look like models. I don't know how to pose?

My clients come from all walks of life - they are moms, dads, grandmas, entrepreneurs, and more. I understand that not everyone is a natural in front of the camera, and that's perfectly okay! My  goal is to create magazine-style portraits that showcase the best version of you. With my experience, I guide my clients at posing to capture their best angles and features. You will leave your session feeling like a million bucks, no matter who you are or what your background is.

​

​

When can I see the images from my session?

​

1-2 weeks after the photoshoot, you will be invited to an in-person preview & purchase appointment. This is when you will see all the beautiful images and choose your favorites for final retouching. You will also get to see and feel the beautiful quality prints, folio box and the wall art options. Then you can place the order for what you love.

 

Can I just get the digitals?

​

Digitals and prints are the same price. Investing in portrait photography is truly valuable when you have a beautiful tangible piece to cherish. So with each image you purchase, a fine art print and its corresponding web-size digital is included.

 

Can I buy a framed artwork?

​

To enjoy the captured moment, everyday, I help my clients to create the perfect wall art collections for their home. You will get to see and choose from all the options at the preview & purchase appointment.

​

Do you shoot on the weekends?

Saturday’s are premium bookings and require a session fee of $299. The session fee does not include any images. We are closed on Sundays. 

​

​

How do I book the session with you?

​

To book a session, please CONNECT HERE. A retainer of $299 is required to book a luxury photography experience. It will be later deducted from your final order - created at the preview & purchase appointment.
