THE PROCESS
I. Book the date.
It all starts with a quick chat! Once we lock in the date with a signed contract and retainer, you’re all set. The remaining balance is due one day before the session—simple and stress-free!
II. PREPARATION FOR THE SESSION
We’ll chat about locations, outfits, and the overall feel of your session to bring your vision to life. Styling plays a big role in creating beautiful photos, and I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way!
III. The SESSION & BEYOND
On the day, we’ll keep things fun and relaxed.I’ll capture your story with a blend of natural moments and gentle direction, focusing on your genuine connection. Afterward, your beautifully edited gallery will be ready within three weeks—memories to hold onto forever.
What time would the session be?
The best time for a session is usually during Golden Hour—just after sunrise or right before sunset. The soft, warm light during these times creates a beautiful, natural glow. However, I understand that schedules can be tricky! If an afternoon session works better for you, some locations still offer great lighting, and I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible. Let’s chat and find the best option for your session!
Do you provide with location recommendations?/Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?
I love exploring beautiful locations and take the time to scout out stunning spots throughout the year, considering factors like light, accessibility, and parking for a smooth experience. I’ll provide a curated list of location options for each season, but if you have a special place in mind, I’m all for it! Whether it’s your home, a scenic outdoor spot, or a venue with meaning, I’m excited to capture your portraits in a place that’s personal to you.
What can I expect from Lifestyle indoor session?
Lifestyle sessions focus on capturing your family in a relaxed, authentic way as you go about your day. Rather than posed shots, we’ll incorporate activities you love—whether it’s playing with your kids, reading together, or simply enjoying a quiet moment at home. These activities create the perfect setting for natural interactions and genuine smiles. Whether we’re in the living room, kitchen, or your child’s nursery, the goal is to tell your unique story in the most comfortable, real way possible.
Do you offer styling/wardrobe suggestions?
Of course! I’ve got a list of great stores where you can find pieces that work perfectly for a photoshoot, and I’d love to share it with you. I’m always happy to help pick out outfits that work for everyone in the family, with an eye for details that really tie everything together. If you already have clothes you love, we can definitely work those in too! And if you’re thinking about something new, a few fresh pieces can really pull the look together. If you have a specific style in mind, I’m all ears and excited to help bring it to life. Let’s make sure you all feel great and look fantastic!
Do you provide RAW images?
I do not provide raw images, as they are unprocessed and represent the work captured before editing. Raw files require specific editing software and expertise to fully enhance them. My promise to you is delivering professionally edited, polished images, ensuring you receive the best possible representation of both my work and your cherished moments.
What if i want to reschedule or cancel the shoot?
Life happens, and I totally understand! If you need to cancel, please let me know at least 5 days in advance. The 50% retainer is non-refundable, but you can use it toward a future session. If an emergency comes up and you need to reschedule, just reach out—I’ll do my best to find a new date that works for both of us!
