Frequently asked questions.
The Session Experience
-
My biggest advice: coordinate, don't match! Pick a color palette and build outfits around that rather than everyone wearing the same shirt. Layers and textures—like a denim jacket, a cozy sweater, or a flowy dress—add great visual interest. Most importantly, wear something you feel confident in!
-
Not on my watch! My goal is to capture genuine connection, not stiff poses. During our session, I’ll provide fun prompts and games to get you laughing and interacting naturally. My job is to guide you; your only job is to have fun.
-
Welcome to the club! I’ve seen it all. A photo session with kids is a beautiful, joyful, and slightly chaotic adventure. I build in plenty of time for breaks and snacks. Don’t stress about forcing a "perfect" smile—some of the best photos come from those unscripted, candid moments.
-
Expect a laid-back, fun experience. We’ll start with easy warm-up prompts to get everyone comfortable. We’ll be walking, talking, and playing. My goal is to capture your unique story in a way that feels authentic to you.
Booking & Logistics
-
It’s all about setting clear expectations. The contract protects both of us by outlining the date, location, payment, and exactly what you’ll receive, ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience.
-
You will receive a print release with your final high-resolution, professionally edited images. I do not provide RAW (unedited) files, as the editing process is a vital part of my signature artistic style.
-
These are the digital versions of your photos. When your gallery is ready, you can download a specific number of high-quality images (based on your package) to share on social media, email to family, or use as your wallpaper.
-
While you have a print release to use any lab, I highly recommend ordering directly from your gallery. My professional labs are calibrated to match the colors and quality of my edits, ensuring the best possible physical result.
-
Yes! I want to make sure you get the photos you love. I’m happy to create a custom payment plan that fits your needs, especially for larger wedding packages.

A few weeks after your session, you’ll receive a link to a private online gallery. From there, you can download your favorites, share them with loved ones, and order professional prints.
