Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a session?
There are numerous buttons all over my website that will link you to a form to contact me. I like to talk to you by phone before you purchase anything to tell you about how the sessions work, the sites available, and learn more about what you plan to do with your portraits. Just click on one of them so we can get connected. When we talk, we will select your appointment date and I will send you an invoice.

How far in advance do I need to book a session?
Most of my sessions are booked 6 to 8 weeks ahead of time, but October is always very busy and fills quickly. The sooner the better.
What should I expect before the session?
We will select a location and discuss your outfit choices. You will be provided current pricing and payment of the session fee will secure your session date and time.
What happens during the session?
We will have a blast working together while we create deliberate poses and spontaneous, uninhibited reactions. I give step by step instructions to make the session easy and enjoyable for you. The goal is to capture the real you at this important time of your life.
What should I wear for my session?
Wear your favorite colors that compliment your skin complexion. A reminder that traditional outfits will stand the test of time when you are displaying them. Wear something that your feel confident and comfortable in. There is no need to be too matchy-matchy with others in the photo, just coordinate. I do not offer hair and makeup as part of my session, but you are welcome to plan that on your own.
How long until I can see my proofs?
The normal turn around time for viewing your proofs is usually less than a week, except during the busy fall season. Once you narrow down your favorites, I edit and you can place your print order. That usually takes a few weeks to complete.
What are my payment options?
The entire session fee needs to be paid in full at least 30 days before your session. Your print order must be paid in full before I deliver them to you. I can offer a payment plan if needed.
How much will this cost me?
Depending on which session you select, your fees will vary. The general sessions and printed products are all listed under INVESTMENT tab so you know in advance what to expect. The prints are very reasonably priced to encourage you to share your portraits with others.
