All sessions are booked directly through the website. Begin by selecting the session type or package that best fits your needs and completing the online booking form. A deposit is required to secure your date.
Booking online ensures accurate scheduling and real-time availability on the calendar.
-
Sessions are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. Your date is not held until the online booking process is completed. To secure your session, please select your package through the booking link, review and sign the agreement, and submit the required non-refundable retainer. Your session is officially secured once both the signed contract and deposit have been received.
-
Invoices are sent at least 7 days prior to your scheduled session. The remaining balance is due 24 hours before your session date. If you need to discuss payment arrangements, requests must be made in advance and are subject to approval. Accepted payment methods include cash, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, and credit card.

If you arrive within 15 minutes of your scheduled session time, no late fee will be applied. Arrivals more than 15 minutes late will incur a $30 late fee. Sessions delayed beyond 30 minutes will be canceled without a refund of the retainer. This policy applies to sessions longer than 30 minutes.
For 30-minute sessions, late arrivals will result in reduced shooting time, as the session will end at the originally scheduled time. No time extensions will be provided.If you choose to reschedule, an additional booking retainer will be required.
-
Once your session is booked, the retainer is non-refundable. This retainer secures your scheduled date and time. If needed, you may request to reschedule your session based on availability and our rescheduling policy.
-
Yes, rescheduling is permitted with 24 hours’ notice and may be done up to two times. After two reschedules, the session will be cancelled, and the retainer is non-refundable.
-
If you are unable to attend your session, the retainer will serve as a cancellation fee and is non-refundable. Any additional payments made beyond the retainer may be credited toward a future session or refunded, provided at least 72 hours’ notice is given. Requests made with less than 72 hours’ notice are non-refundable.
-
Session length varies based on the package selected. Please review your specific package details at the time of booking for the exact session duration.

You’re welcome to bring any personal or specialty items you’d like included in your session to add a meaningful touch. The studio provides basic props such as chairs and stools; however, any specific or specialty items should be brought by the client. If you’re unsure whether an item will work well for your session, feel free to reach out prior to your scheduled date.
-
Your digital proof gallery will be delivered via a private online gallery within 48 hours of your session. You will then have up to two weeks to select images for editing. Final edited images are typically delivered within 10–14 business days from the date selections are made. Rush editing is available for an additional fee.
-
Printed images are not included in the session packages. After your session, you will receive access to an online gallery where you can download your images and either print them on your own or order professional-quality prints directly through the gallery’s printing service.
For best results, I recommend avoiding commercial retailers such as Walmart or Walgreens, as they may not provide optimal print quality for professional photographs. A print release can be provided upon request to allow you to print your images.
-
Choose outfits that reflect your personality and style, whether that’s casual or more formal. To keep the focus on you, it’s best to avoid clothing with text, logos, characters, or bold graphics, as these can be distracting in photos.
For group sessions, coordinating colors works beautifully without needing everyone to match exactly. For maternity sessions, I recommend selecting outfits that highlight and flatter your baby bump for a timeless, elegant look.
-
Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring someone who helps you feel comfortable and confident during your session. I simply ask that their presence remains supportive and does not distract from the flow of the shoot. To ensure the best experience and results, please keep guests to a minimum so the focus stays on you and your session.
