Frequently Asked Questions

DO I HAVE TO PAY A DEPOSIT?

Yes, a $75 non-refundable retainer is required to secure your session. You will be prompted to pay this at the time of booking. The remaining balance will be due on the day of your session: I accept ApplePay, CashApp, Venmo, & PayPal.

WILL I LOSE MY DEPOSIT IF I HAVE TO RESCHEDULE MY SESSION?

Deposits are non-refundable. They are transferrable ONCE & valid for scheduling for 30 days after original session date. I promise 100% satisfaction, if for some reason you are not satisfied, you may schedule ONE retake.

Cancellations and reschedules are no charge provided they are done 48 hours in advance of the scheduled shoot date/time. Same Day cancellations will result in a cancellation/reschedule fee of $75.

We can’t control weather, sickness, or family emergencies, so I don’t penalize clients for shoots that are rescheduled due to one of those extreme reasons out of our control.We understand life happens, so if you have to reschedule, you will not lose your deposit. Just make sure your session is rescheduled within 90 days of the original session date!

WHY ARE INDOOR SESSIONS A MORE EXPENSIVE INVESTMENT?

Indoor sessions are an additional $75/hr to cover the studio rental fee. (Studio location will be provided upon booking)

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?

In regards to your photos, your proofs will be emailed 48 hours (or less) following your session. After you select the amount of images that your packages come with, final images will be returned in 5 business days. I will only edit what you select. Want more than what’s included in your package? Additional images are $10 per additional image you select. I currently offer online only High Resolution Fully Retouched Images on a shareable downloadable link. This allows for the quickest delivery of the images, for you to easily view and share your photos. You have full printing rights to these digital images. This session do not include USB's, but are available for purchase for $25 each, and $50 for replacement USB's. No problem, there is a two day expedited editing option that you can add in for an additional $100.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Compliment & coordinate but don’t get too matchy! Find a color palette that you love and choose outfits that compliment your complexion. You can choose to do neutrals with a few pops of color or a softer monochromatic palette that has different ranges in tone of the same shades. For branding, you may want to think of your BRANDING COLORS for your business and simply wear that. Make sure you choose an outfit that you feel confident and beautiful in first. Then plan the color palette and outfits from there. Multiple patterns can look busy, so let's try to stay away from those. Try adding dimension and interest by mixing up the texture of the clothing material and accents. Feel free to bring cute little accessories such as scarves, hats, belts and basically anything with a fabulous texture. Accessories can pull together an outfit and make it look complete. Plus by switching up accessories and layers, you can get multiple looks without having to do complete outfit changes. Most importantly, be sure to wear clothes you feel comfortable in. Your confidence will really shine through in your photos! Try to avoid large logos, large text, neon colors & be aware of any tan lines and how those will look in your chosen outfit. Nifty tip, try it on at home first! If you don't like it at home, you will not like it at our studio. And if you feel like you are in need of assistance, I am happy to help you! Arrange your outfits on your bed or on the floor, and then send me photos of your favorite combinations. We can work together to ensure we find the perfect combination! In fact, send us pics anyways so we can prepare for your session.
