FAQ
Why should I book with you?
My goal is to create more than just beautiful photos, I want to create an experience you'll enjoy and memories you'll cherish for years to come. I focus on capturing genuine moments, real connections, and the little details that make your story unique. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply preserving this season of life, I'll guide you every step of the way to ensure your session feels relaxed, comfortable, and authentically you. From planning to final delivery, I'm dedicated to providing a personalized experience and images you'll be proud to display and share.
What is your photography style?
My photography is natural light and true-to-tone, meaning your photos will reflect real colors, natural skin tones, and the authentic feel of your session. I focus on using natural light to create soft, timeless images that feel warm, genuine, and true to life rather than heavily filtered or overly edited.
When you book with me, you’re choosing a style that preserves the real moments and emotions of your session just as they are: beautiful, natural, and authentically you.
How do I book a session with you?
I can’t wait to meet you and capture your memories! When you’re ready, reach out via email, DM, or submit a request through my contact page.
Do you require a deposit?
A $50 deposit is required to book. Due to past cancellations, this policy helps protect both my time and other clients. The remaining balance is due on the day of your session. All deposits are non-refundable. I'm happy to reschedule with a credit, but please book only if you're confident you can attend.
What type of payments do you accept?
I accept payment via Cash, Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, or ApplePay.
Are travel fees included?
The prices listed under my 'Pricing' page are the exact prices for local sessions within Okeechobee County. Contact me for travel fees outside of Okeechobee Country. If you would like a customized quote for a Customized Session or Package please contact me directly.
Do I have to allow my photos to be posted on social media?
No. You are not required to have any of your photos shared on social media. As my client, you being comfortable and happy is my top priority. I fully respect everyone’s privacy choices, especially when it comes to children and family images. I understand and support that some people prefer to keep their photos private or not have children’s faces shown online.
As someone who values privacy as well, I personally choose not to show my own children’s faces publicly, so I completely understand and honor that preference in my work.
Do you give out unedited or raw images?
No. Raw/unedited files do not accurately reflect the quality of my work. To maintain my artistic vision, I provide you with beautifully edited, high-resolution images that capture the session.
Do you edit every single image you take?
I don’t edit every single photo; I go through them to pick out the best photos from the session. If I love an image, I’ll send it in both color and black & white. The session type determines the number of images you will receive.
Do you offer retouching?
I am able to do minor retouching, please discuss any concerns with me prior to the session. Additional fees may apply for extensive touch-ups.
How will I receive my photos?
You'll receive a link to your online gallery via email, where you can download your high-resolution images and share them with loved ones.
What happens if I am late to my session?
Please keep me informed if you’re running late. Sessions are scheduled for optimal lighting, so if you’re 15+ minutes late without prior notice, I may not be able to wait. Thanks for understanding!
How long will you keep my photos?
I will keep your photos for 1 year after your session. Please make sure to download your entire gallery and keep them in a safe spot or multiple places/devices to ensure that you won't lose them. I only have a limited amount of space on my hard drives so I am unable to keep every single session for longer than a year.
Do you take weddings?
I don’t photograph full weddings — my heart is in lifestyle photography. It gives me the chance to create meaningful, authentic images while also balancing life as a stay-at-home mom, which means so much to me. That said, I do offer engagement sessions, and I’m happy to photograph local elopements or quick courthouse weddings if it fits my schedule!
What do I wear to my session?
I would love to help give you tips! I have created a preparation guide that I will send you before your session that includes outfit suggestions and tips, along with other helpful information.
However, for reference try to wear solid colors or subtle patterns that complement your skin tone and choose well-fitted clothing that feels comfortable and confident. Coordinate your outfit with the style and location of the shoot, and make sure everything is clean and wrinkle-free. Avoid large logos, busy prints, or distracting graphics, as they can draw attention away from you. Steer clear of clothing that is overly tight, baggy, or requires frequent adjustment, and choose timeless pieces over overly trendy styles that may quickly look dated.
I’m awkward in front of the camera, will you help pose me?
Of course! I will have poses for you to do and will direct you the entire time. All you need to do is show up for your session with a smile and I will take it from there and guide you every step of the way.
