In What Form Can I Pay You?

Cash, Check, or Venmo 

How Do You Share The Photos With Me Digitally?

I typically use Apple icloud iphoto shared albums to give you access to all of the edited photos. However, for all of my non Apple users, I typically request that you bring a flash drive to me on the day of your session. I have a lot of people that choose to do both the shared album and a flash drive. 

Do You Edit All Of Your Photos The Same Way?

Nope! I base all editing off of a variety of factors: setting, lighting, subject's skin/hair pigments, subject's outfit colors, & your overall preference in how you wan them to look if any. I will collaborate with you to create the perfect edit for you, but otherwise leave it to me!

Do You Touch Up Photos For Acne/Skin Blemishes/Yellowing Teeth or Use Photoshop At All?

Nope! These are all normal human characteristics in my opinion that need to be normalized in the media. You’re beautiful with or without them and they should be embraced. It simply does not align with my personal style/beliefs to do so but other photographers in the area may do these touch ups so you can find someone who does this. I do edit lighting and colors to best compliment your pigments but never will I contribute to the unrealistic beauty standards in the media. Of course when you get the pictures, it is up to you to touch them up or whiten your teeth if that is something you wish to do. 

Do You Watermark Photos?

Nope! I do not believe in watermarking because it can take away from the timelessness of a picture. However, it is always appreciated when you recommend me to your friends & family to help me build up my business.

What Camera & Software Do You Use To Edit & Take Photos?

Nikon D5300, 18 - 200 mm Tamron Lens/ Adobe Lightroom CC with Custom Presets that I have created

What Do I Need To Bring To My Session?

• Hairbrush/product you may want to use

• chapstick/lip gloss

• Face Towel (if hot outside) for sweating

• Water bottle (you will get thirsty)

• Good Attitude! Even if you are like me and dread having your photo taken, we will make it fun! Maybe have a Spotify playlist I can connect my phone and speaker to while we are taking pictures so you can be hyped & confident. 

Can I Bring A Family Member Or A Friend To My Session?

Yes! I highly encourage it actually! It is a great way to make you laugh and bring out your most genuine smile in all of your photos. Sometimes we can even snap a few photos of you and this special person who came to comfort and support you at this special session. Do not worry if you can only come by yourself, we are destined to have a great time. 

What Do I Wear For A Senior Session?

The number one thing to make sure of, is that you feel confident in your outfits! So wear what makes you feel beautiful or spiffy! I like to warn people of busy or tedious patterns that take away attention from your beautiful smiles in your pictures. Aim for solid colors that compliment your skin tone! You can never go wrong with a neutral color or outfit! I tend to do waist up photos more, so if you do not have shoes you like or do not feel like buying some for a photoshoot, no problem, we do not have to get them in the picture! You can be as fancy and as casual as you prefer! If you know what college/occupation/military branch you are going into, you can throw on a shirt, button up, or sweatshirt and you can proudly represent your future school/job/branch. Do not forget your class ring if you have one! 

How Do We Dress For A Family Session?

Coordinate & match, but avoid literal twinning. Oftentimes, families will choose a color palette and stay within those guidelines of color for their outfits. However, they are not wearing the exact same outfit, but they still look cohesive through colors. Pay attention head to toe and be on the same page with the whole family on a scale of how casual to fancy you would like to be. Are you going jeans or khakis? Sperry's or dress shoes? I recommend Pinterest for inspiration if you’re feeling overwhelmed but most importantly wear a smile :)

Can We Bring Our Dog/s To The Family Session?

Of course! Do not forget your dog’s leash/collar and if you want, add on a fun bandana to match you (thank the Boedy family for that novel idea). Bring some treats so we can grab your pup’s attention during the session. I can’t wait to meet your pup!
