If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out! I’m always open to discussing creative ideas and custom session concepts.

Booking your session is simple and designed to be a stress-free experience from the very beginning! Simply fill out the contact form on my website, and I’ll be in touch to start planning your session together. I’ve made the inquiry process as easy and user-friendly as possible so you can quickly share your vision, ideas, and the type of session you’re interested in.

From there, I’ll guide you through each step. From choosing the perfect session type and location to outfit guidance, scheduling, and preparing for your shoot. Whether you have every detail planned out or have no idea where to start, I’m here to help make the entire experience feel smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable.

Absolutely! Choosing the right location is a huge part of creating a session that feels authentic and personal to you. Whether you already have a meaningful location in mind or would like guidance, I’m always happy to help plan the perfect setting for your photos.

While I still offer outdoor sessions, especially beach sessions and locations with soft, natural scenery. My style and creative focus have recently leaned more toward studio and in-home sessions. I’ve fallen in love with creating a more intimate, controlled, and cinematic atmosphere through studio work, while still capturing genuine emotion and connection.

Studio sessions are perfect for achieving the clean, timeless, true-to-color look reflected throughout my work and allow for more flexibility with weather, lighting, comfort, and styling. However, if outdoor portraits are your vision, I’m absolutely open to that as well and can help suggest locations that best fit the mood and aesthetic you’re wanting for your session.

Get ready to have a great time! I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where you feel completely comfortable, allowing us to genuinely enjoy the moment with you and your loved ones. After all, being present in the moment leads to the BEST photos!

I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations. I will always give you a sneak peak within 24-48 hours unless discussed otherwise.

If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss alternatives such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. I want to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos, and I'm flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.

No, I never provide unedited images. I put a lot of effort into editing your photos, and the final images are a reflection of my business and style. I strive for consistency in my work to align with my brand, so unedited images wouldn’t represent that vision.

My editing style is primarily true-to-color with cinematic, moody touches woven throughout your gallery. I focus on preserving natural skin tones and authentic colors while adding warmth, depth, and emotion to create a timeless storytelling feel. Your images will feel clean, vibrant, and true to life, with certain moments edited more cinematically to emphasize emotion, connection, and atmosphere. I also include a selection of black-and-white images to add depth and highlight the raw emotion behind your memories.

Your deposit is non-refundable, as it secures your spot in my schedule. However, I truly want to capture beautiful moments for you, so I do offer one complimentary reschedule if needed, as long as we are able to agree on a new date and availability permits.

Please keep in mind that the timing of your session is very important for lighting and the overall look of your gallery, so while I try to be as flexible as possible, certain time changes may not always be available. I do have professional flash equipment when needed, but natural light and flash photography create different artistic results.

I always strive to be understanding, especially when unexpected life situations arise because let’s be honest, adulthood often means realizing we’re all just working around our kids’ schedules now… haha.

The ideal time for outdoor sessions is typically between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM (give or take depending on the season and daylight savings), when the sun is lower in the sky and the lighting is soft, warm, and most flattering.

For indoor sessions, we have a lot more flexibility with scheduling.

The goal is for you to feel confident, comfortable, and truly like yourself during your session because that’s when the most genuine and beautiful moments happen. Wear something that makes you feel your absolute best! Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind when planning your outfits:

-Neutrals always photograph beautifully and create a timeless, clean look that keeps the focus on connection and emotion rather than distracting clothing choices. Soft earth tones, creams, tans, muted greens, warm browns, dusty blues, and subtle textures tend to work especially well.

-Avoid large logos, busy graphics, neon colors, or heavy patterns unless that specifically matches the style and vibe you’re going for. These can pull attention away from the overall feel of your images.

-Instead of everyone wearing the exact same color, try coordinating complementary colors and tones. Matching too closely can cause everyone to visually blend together in photos, while coordinated colors add depth, balance, and a more natural overall look. Pinterest can be a great place to search “family photo color schemes” for inspiration and outfit ideas!

-Layers, textures, dresses with movement, and subtle accessories can also add beautiful dimension and variety to your gallery without overwhelming the photos.

Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself. When you feel good, it naturally shines through in your images.

I don’t have a dedicated studio space of my own just yet, but Hampton Roads has several beautiful rental studios available that are perfect for indoor sessions and offer a variety of styles and aesthetics. Please keep in mind that rental studio fees are separate from my session pricing and would be added to your total if a studio is selected.

I do have a space in my home that can accommodate indoor sessions at no additional cost. This allows for a comfortable, relaxed environment while still achieving the warm, cinematic, true-to-color imagery reflected throughout my work.
