FAQ
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Yes! I’m based in Troy and love working with local clients. However, if your location is more than 30 miles away, there’s a small $25 travel fee.
What should we wear for our session?
What you wear can truly make or break your photos - no amount of editing can fix an outfit that distracts from the overall look. I recommend staying away from graphic tees, busy patterns, or anything with large logos, as these can pull attention away from you. Instead of matching outfits, aim for coordinated looks with complementary colors and styles. You can never go wrong with earthy or neutral tones - they photograph beautifully and keep the focus where it belongs: on you.
If am always more than happy to answer any questions regarding attire before your shoot. Just reach out!
How long does it take to get our photos?
My typical turnaround time is 2 weeks. This allows me to carefully select and edit your images so you receive a final gallery that looks polished and consistent. I always aim to deliver as soon as possible without compromising quality.
Do you offer albums or prints?
At this time, I don’t offer albums or prints. All sessions include high-quality digital images that you can download and print wherever you’d like.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, all portrait sessions require a $50 non-refundable booking fee to hold your date.
Bundled collections require 50% down payment at the time of booking.
Where will my session take place?
I’m happy to shoot at a location that’s meaningful to you, or I can make recommendations based on the look you’re going for. I’ll always guide you toward locations with great natural light, since that makes a huge difference in the overall quality and feel of your photos.
How will I receive my photos?
You’ll receive an email from me with a link to your online gallery, where you can view, select, and download the images you love from your session.
Can I bring extra people, pets, or personal items I'd like included in the session?
Upon booking, clients are required to fill out a form indicating the number of people attending the session. If additional people attend beyond what was originally planned or agreed upon, there will be a $15 charge per extra person. Please keep in mind that more people in a session can also require additional time, so there may be an added fee if the shoot goes beyond the agreed-upon timeframe.
Pets are always welcome, but please be sure to mention them during the booking process so we can plan accordingly.
Meaningful items are also always encouraged! I’m happy to include and capture anything that helps tell your story.
What happens if I need to reschedule or cancel?
Cancellations and rescheduling requests must be made in writing at least 48 hours before your scheduled session. If proper notice is given, we can either cancel or work to reschedule your session.
If less than 48 hours’ notice is provided, payment obligations remain in place and the session is considered non-refundable.
In the case of rescheduling, I will always do my best to accommodate your new date. If I’m unable to do so despite reasonable efforts, the session will be treated as a cancellation, and the original booking date will no longer be held.
For outdoor sessions, weather may require rescheduling at my discretion to ensure the best possible results for your photos.
