DATES AND TIMES
My available shoot days vary, so please contact me to arrange what works best. I have certain openings that are available for booking outside of any pre-scheduled mini sessions. Limited spaces usually available, so try to plan your session at least 1 month in advance.    

HAIR AND MAKEUP
Hair & Makeup is no longer available as an added service to your photographs as I no longer have contracted stylists. If planning to have it done, I do recommend putting it on heavier than you would for your daily-wear. You may be shocked at first when you see yourself, but trust me that this is a common reaction. You will notice the different between the make-up in real life as opposed to in an image once you see them. False lashes are another way to enhance the eyes. 

WHAT TO WEAR
This is a popular question! My favorite outfits are usually simple with statement pieces & aesthetically pleasing to the environment. These things are subjective to location, weather, season & theme. I'm happy to help you piece something together that will meld cohesively if your session contains multiple people. For seniors, I want you to show me your true style. Have complete fun with it!! I also want you to think about highlighting your hobbies (art, sports, activities, places, things, etc.) Even still, if you’re stumped, ideas are available in Pinterest boards that I created; offering ideas for different session types. This direct link is available at the top or bottom of my website.
Note for intimates: I don’t shoot corsets because they limit posing and I shy away from heavy themes such as football jerseys or career attire (firemen, police officers, shirt/tie) as it quickly becomes the center of attention instead of you. In the same respect, I am not a huge fan of jewelry or shoes. This is mostly, again, because I want you to be the center of attention and the eye is usually drawn to the brightest thing in a photo. Simple is better. 

CAN I BRING A FRIEND
Sometimes a friend is exactly what you need to help relax you before your photo shoot. In fact, I highly encourage that you book back to back if I have availability to do so that day. However, I do ask that you limit it to 1 friend and that your friend does not interfere during the session (i.e. input on posing, adjusting hair/makeup, back seat commentary).
For intimates: there are to be no boyfriends/significant others/spouses on set during the session. Firm policy.

ARE YOU GOING TO PUT MY IMAGES ONLINE
I would LOVE to show you off. I would be honored to share your images to inspire other people with your photos. However, due to the nature of some photography sessions (intimates), I completely understand if you and/or your spouse are not comfortable with me sharing them. That being said, some clients opt to share only faceless images of themselves for discretion or select images. Most often, clients are so proud of their images and they grant me full discretion to choose images for my portfolio; on or offline.
The bottom line here is your privacy and I will honor whatever level of privacy you would like.

SESSION & PRODUCT PAYMENT
In order to secure your session, I require the session or experience fee to be paid in full at time of booking. 
I try to keep my prices competitive & fair, so if you need the option to delay full payment, I can generate a payment plan for you, but no more than 3 monthly payments (evenly broken up from total fee). 

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE SHOOT
During your session, I will be guiding you through physical & verbal cues. I don’t stand behind the camera and expect you to know what to do. I will personally show you every pose and explain why I’m twisting you around like a pretzel for the best angles. Constantly, I will come over to you with the camera and show you the awesome images you’re getting. It’s important throughout this that you’re seeing what great results are coming out of what can sometimes feel awkward or unnatural. For indoor sessions, we will use different things in our surroundings such as a bed, a chair, a couch, rugs, or curtains. There will be times when you’re posing without furniture & just lying on the floor. Expect to feel silly sometimes, but I promise to show you how those silly positions look incredible on camera. For outdoor sessions, anticipate using water, rocks, trees, or site props.
After the session, please allow 5-7 business days before your proofs are available for viewing in a private online gallery. The images will be available to download at a low-resolution. High-resolution prints are available for purchase through my exclusive printing lab. The anticipated number of images purchased in your session will be laid out in your purchase details. However, if you end up wanting more than what is projected, each digital image is available for purchase at $25/ea. This payment will be due in full before those images can be released to you. 
Be prepared to provide me with your email address so that I can deliver a link to your private online gallery once your images have been masterfully rendered.
