Custom packages are offered on a case-by-case basis and can be tailored to your needs, but the minimum charge for any project is $175.00 to compensate for my time invested.

Wear whatever you feel confident in. I recommend solid colors, earth tones, or non-distracting patterns. If you are being photographed with others, choose a color palette that compliments each other. Avoid all logos and words on any attire.

Most portrait sessions allow for one wardrobe change. However, remember that changing your wardrobe takes time away from your overall session, and depending on your location of choice, there may or may not be a private area for changing. If you plan to change your wardrobe, choose a location with an appropriate facility for changing.

Yes, I offer both studio and on-location sessions. Studio sessions are booked separately from outdoor sessions. If you need a combination of studio and on-location images, you can book each session individually. Typically, studio sessions are lower cost because it is a controlled environment, but the number of shots delivered is lower amount.

If you aren’t sure where to go, I will offer a list of recommended locations to choose from.

I love shooting at unique spots! But shooting at a particular location, such as a private business, does require permission and potentially a property release. Let me know if you have a specific location in mind, and I will investigate their photography policy. Photography policies sometimes require fees. You are responsible for covering that fee.

Absolutely! Props are a great way to help tell your story. Pets are welcome as well (I am a dog mom myself). But please be aware that your pets are your responsibility to control and direct.

No, I don't have a team available to provide hair and make-up right now, but I recommend that you come to your session ready and look your best.

While I have performed many weddings in the past, I typically book weddings solely upon request to allow time for other areas of my business. If you are interested in a wedding, please fill out the inquiry form on the Contact page to be sent a gallery of sample images and to talk about pricing.

Images are delivered within 1-2 weeks from the shoot date. Your contract will specify the delivery date. Express 3 day delivery is available for $150.00.

Your images will be delivered 1-2 weeks after the shoot date via a Pixieset Gallery. From this gallery you can download your images to your device, favorite specific images, and share them on social media.

No, I do not allow further editing of images once they are delivered per our contract agreement as that infringes my copyright. We can discuss a specific editing style during our creative consultation if you would like a specific editing look.

Each package includes color correction and basic retouching. Basic retouching means I remove obvious blemishes, stray hairs, and pesky spots. Advanced retouching includes, but is not limited to removing objects from the background, changing colors of objects or clothing, editorial quality skin retouching, adding makeup, compositing, etc. Advanced retouching is a separate charge because of the time and skill it takes to complete. I offer advanced retouching at $10 per image. If your request requires advanced retouching, I will inform you.

If you only want basic retouching, such as removing a few blemishes, this service is included in your package price. If you require advanced retouching, I provide that service upon request at $10 per image. If your request requires advanced retouching, I will inform you.

Yes, you can purchase additional images by upgrading your package: 12 additional images for $75 and 24 additional images for $125.

I don't give clients all the photos from a photoshoot for a few reasons:

1) Not every photo taken may meet my professional standards. I take multiple shots to ensure I capture the best possible image. I only want to deliver the best quality work to my clients.

2) A pre-determined agreed upon amount of photos based upon your package selection manages your expectations of how many images you will receive and ensures that my time is compensated fairly.

3) Delivering a large number of photos is overwhelming and dilutes the impact of the best shots, requires higher data storage costs, and requires more behind the scenes editing time and costs.

I agree to archive your photos for a maximum of 30 days after the delivery date. After 30 days, I will not be responsible for archiving your photos in the long term. However, if I do have your photos archived, I will re-deliver them for a $25 transfer fee. It is recommended that you back up your photos to a cloud service to avoid losing them.

Your images are best cherished through tangible prints. You can buy prints through your Pixieset Gallery. I use WHCC to fulfill print purchases.

Each contract contains usage agreements and model releases to protect both you and me.

I never want my client to be surprised by their image in a place they didn’t expect it. Per the contract, your images may be used for my personal self promotion, including, but not limited to: my social media platforms, digital advertising, print advertising, my personal website, contest submissions, portfolio reviews, gallery exhibitions, or features in editorial blogs, websites, newspapers, and magazines.

Your image WILL NOT be sold for commercial use, such as advertising for a business or product, or sold for stock without your express written consent.

If you believe an image has been misused, please contact me.

I hope you love your images as much as I do! Your images can be used in many ways, including social media profiles, prints, invitations, announcements, personal promotion in digital or print.

While your images are for your personal use, I still maintain the copyright with a non-exclusive license agreement in our contract. You do not have the right to sell your images to a third party without my express written consent. You do not have the right to edit or alter the images in any way per my copyright.

Concerns about privacy are part of every person’s modern digital life. As a photographer, it is important to me that your privacy is respected, but it is equally important to me that prospective clients are able to view work that I have previously completed in order to book future projects. If you are concerned about the use of your images online, we can discuss different agreements that satisfy both parties.

Your images were designed to market your business. Your license will allow for your photos to be used on social media, your website, digital advertising, print advertising, and features in editorial blogs, newspapers, websites, and magazines.

While your images are for your marketing use, I still maintain the copyright with a non-exclusive license agreement in our contract. You do not have the right to sell your images to a third party without my express written consent. You do not have the right to edit or alter the images in any way per my copyright.
