What to Expect
From inquiry to artwork, here’s how it all unfolds.
Whether you're booking a family session, portraits for your graduating senior, or a brand shoot that finally looks like you, here's what working together looks like, step by step. I keep it relaxed, intentional, and easy on purpose.
STEP 01
Reach Out
Use the contact form to say hey, tell me what you're dreaming up, and share the basics (session type, location, timeframe). I’ll get back to you with next steps, availability, and a little more info to help you feel confident moving forward. Not sure exactly what you want yet?
That’s okay. We’ll figure it out together.
STEP 02
Reserve Your Spot
Once we settle on a date, I’ll send over your invoice for the creative fee, along with a short session agreement and model release. A quick signature and payment officially hold your spot. Easy.
STEP 03
Plan the Good Stuff
We’ll chat about location, light, wardrobe, and what you’re hoping to capture; whether it’s barefoot chaos, a quiet morning at home, or polished brand portraits that don’t feel stiff or salesy. I’ll guide you through everything so you can show up relaxed and ready.
STEP 04
Session Day
We’ll meet at our chosen location (or studio), and from there, I'll lead. You just be present. Be playful. Be still. Be real. I’ll handle the rest.
Most sessions last between 1 to 2 hours. We keep it comfortable, unforced, and rooted in connection.
STEP 05
The Big (Beautiful) Reveal
Two weeks after your session, your gallery will launch online, complete with a password-protected slideshow and a curated set of fully edited images.
You’ll have 7 days to view and select your collection (and receive a $100 early order discount if you purchase within the first 3 days).
STEP 06
Your Memories, Delivered
Digital files are delivered immediately after your order. Fine art prints and heirloom products are lovingly prepped and shipped within 4 weeks of payment.
All that’s left to do? Smile. Maybe cry. Definitely celebrate.
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer digital files?
Yes! All of my collections include high-resolution digital images, delivered via download. You can purchase a small selection or the entire gallery; whatever fits your needs. Every image is carefully edited and print-ready.
What types of sessions do you offer?
I photograph families, high school seniors, creative professionals, corporate/personal brands, and legacy portraits. If you're looking to preserve the moments that matter (with a little style and soul), you're in the right place.
How much does this cost?
Sessions begin with a creative fee starting at $350, and collections begin at $500 ($400 with early order credit). Most clients invest between $750–$2000 depending on their selections. Early orders within three days of gallery launch receive a $100 discount. Visit the Investment page for more, or reach out and I’ll send you a complete pricing and product guide.
Can I see your full pricing and product menu?
Of course. After booking, you'll receive access to my full session prep and pricing guide. If you’re still browsing, feel free to reach out—I’ll happily send you a preview.
Where do sessions take place?
Anywhere with good light and real connection. That might be your home, a favorite outdoor space, a studio, or somewhere new we dream up together.
How long will the session take?
Most sessions last 1–1.5 hours. I keep things relaxed and unforced so we can catch the moments that matter without watching the clock.
How many images will I see?
You’ll receive a curated gallery of 30+ fully edited images to choose from. Depending on your package, you’ll select a set or upgrade to keep them all.
Do you photograph weddings?
Not generally, at least not in the traditional sense. I do offer intimate couple sessions and the occasional small ceremony if it aligns with my style. If you're hosting a low-key celebration filled with good light and meaning, let's talk. If you're looking for a traditional wedding photographer, reach out. I have connections!
Will my kids cooperate?
Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, we’re still going to capture something beautiful. I’ve worked with every personality type and I meet them with patience, humor, and zero pressure. Also, lens puppets (you'll find out...).
What if I feel awkward in front of the camera?
No Worries! So do most people. I’ll guide you gently, help you feel like yourself, and never force anything stiff or unnatural. You’ll be surprised how much ease we can find in the in-between.
anything i haven't covered?
Just ask and I'll help.
