Whether you would prefer a call, a text, or an email.  Chatting with you will help me get a better idea of what you are looking for, and also gives you an opportunity to address any questions or concerns you might have. This is also a great chance to see if we are a good fit; I believe that the more comfortable you are with your photographer the more relaxed you will look in your portraits and that makes a huge difference.

I will  give you the option to communicate in the most convenient way for you–text, email, or a phone call. Your photos are all about you, so the booking process should be too.  I don't believe in generic automated emails, and within 24 hours of your inquiry, I'll personally reach out to you to guide you through the booking process.

Finalize your booking!

"To make sure that you have an unforgettable experience, I've made the booking process as easy and straightforward as possible. To reserve your session, simply sign the contract and pay a retainer fee. This not only secures your date and time on my calendar but also ensures that we're on the same page about all the essential details for your shoot. Please note that your session is not confirmed until both the contract and retainer fee are received.  Your balance will be due in full one week before your scheduled session.

By choosing me as your photographer, you're not just investing in stunning photos that capture your unique personality and style. You're also choosing a stress-free, enjoyable experience that will leave you with cherished memories for years to come. Contact me today to schedule your session and let's make magic together!

There’s more!

I believe that the experience of taking your portraits should be just as enjoyable and memorable as the final results. That's why I'm always here to help you every step of the way - as much or as little as you'd like. One common concern that clients have is choosing the perfect outfit for their session. I've got you covered - I have a blog post with helpful tips to get you started. But if you'd like more guidance, I'm happy to suggest outfits that complement the season and location you've selected. In fact, I've had clients text me outfit choices before finalizing their selections. My ultimate goal is for you to feel confident and beautiful during your session, and outfit selection is just one way that I'm here to help make that happen.

Session day!

By the time your photography session day arrives, we'll have a good idea of the direction we're headed in. I always have a few planned poses to help you feel at ease in front of the camera. Every session is unique and tailored to your specific needs. As we go along, the poses will flow more naturally and we'll capture a variety of shots.

I tend to take a lot of photos during our session, so you'll have plenty of images to choose from. Before we know it, our time together will be over. But don't worry, I'll take care of the post-processing and deliver your edited images as soon as possible.

After your session!

After your session, you can expect to receive a private gallery link within a week, which includes soft proofed images from your session. I take great care to remove unusable images such as blinks and duplicates, and I will do minimal editing to correct lighting or cropping. From there, you can choose the images you'd like me to edit by clicking the star icon on your favorites. Once you've made your selection, click on the "star/favorites" icon at the top of the page, select "send favorites," and then "send favorites to photographer." After processing your selected images, I'll send you a new email with a new link to your final gallery, which includes your print release and will remain live for 7 days. You're free to download your images on as many devices as you'd like during this time. Rest assured that I strive to provide you with a seamless and stress-free experience, delivering final images that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
