FAQ

Consultation Appt

Before we agree to work together, I will need a phone consultation to plan the details. This will allow me to understand your vision and tailor the photoshoot to your preferences, including what to wear, locations, and how to prepare.

I look forward to connecting with you. Feel free to reach out, and let's create some beautiful memories together!

How to book a session?

After the Consultation appt, I will send you a link to book your session. Pick the date and time, and then you need to pay a non-refundable retainer fee, read, and sign the contract to be placed on my calendar.

How much is a session?

You can view my prices here.

Retainer Fee

Your NON-refundable retainer must be paid through my booking site. Your remaining balance is due three days before your session. You will receive an automated payment reminder email for your session.

Does my retainer fee goes towards my total payment?

Yes

Do I Need Makeup?

I recommend makeup for every important portrait you invest in. This doesn't mean you have to be unrecognizable to yourself. However, full-face application makeup artistry is tastefully served only to contribute to your beauty.

Do I need a Hair Appt?

Please arrive for your session with your hair camera ready. If your hair is untidy, it will reflect in your portraits. Retouching is not applied to hair, so please arrive how you would like it to be photographed.

When should you schedule your newborn session?

If you’re currently pregnant, let’s connect now and start planning your newborn session. Once your baby arrives—ideally between 7 to 14 days old—reach out to schedule your session as soon as possible. If your baby is already here, don’t wait! Contact me right away to book your session while they're still in that perfect newborn stage.

How far in advance should I book?

I recommend booking 2–6 weeks ahead, depending on season and session type.

Do you provide newborn props?

Yes, I will provide outfits and props for your newborn.

When is the best time to do maternity photos?

The ideal time for maternity photos is between 30 - 34 weeks of pregnancy, when your bump is beautifully round but you’re still comfortable.

Do you provide props?

I will provide:

Crowns

Faux flowers and Rose Petals

Floor Balloons

Sitting Props & Spotlight (no throne chair)


Clients may bring cake, cupcakes, campaign bottles, and flowers.


Floating balloons must be provided by the client.


Rescheduling

If you need to reschedule your session, you don't need to worry about the first time.

There is a $50.00 fee for rescheduling for the second time, a $100 fee for the third time, and your services are canceled without a refund at a 4th request to reschedule.


Can I request additional retouching?

Yes, with an additional fee.

Who can attend my session?

Clients are allowed to bring ONE person to assist them. No additional people, including children, are allowed in my home studio at your appointment unless they are being photographed.

What happen when I'm late to my session?

If you are more than 15 minutes late for your session, you may have to reschedule, and there is a $15.00 fee. If you select to continue with your session, your delay of time will be deducted from your session, and the fee still applies. If you are more than 30 minutes late for our time together, there is a $30.00 fee. At 45 minutes late, your session is canceled without a refund.

When should I expect to see my photos?

Your images will be ready on the online gallery in 2 weeks. Once the images are uploaded to the online gallery, you will have a 7 days window to download images. The client will be responsible for downloading their images to a device for personal use.

What happens if it rains?

We can reschedule your photoshoot or do an indoor session instead.

How long do I have to download my photos?

Your gallery will expire 7 days after your images are delivered, so please be sure to take action quickly to avoid a re-upload fee.

Do you offer gift certificates?

Yes. Click here to purchase your gift certificate.

How to check your remaining balance and make payment:

Go to your confirmation email and click Change/Cancel Appointment.
