Frequently Asked QUESTIONS
-
YES!!! PLEASE bring things to represent your interests. These photos are about YOU!!! We want to showcase you at this pivotal time in your life!
-
I suggest a small bag to put your phone, keys, sunglasses, props or any extras you may have. When we arrive I will look through your clothing your brought and we will make a plan for what outfits we will use where and in what order.
-
Some locations are better suited for changing than others. Some have bathrooms or places that you can change. We will discuss this when we chat about locations.
-
The best thing you can do is to try to relax! The stress is actually on me!!
If you feel uncomfortable, you are going to look uncomfortable. No need to worry, I will take care of everything during your time with me.
Blemishes can be touched up. Please let me know before the session if there is anything (such as scars or small markings) you would like removed in the post processing of your portraits. These are usually easy fixes that are done with some retouching, but I appreciate knowing ahead of time so I can retouch everything at once.
Braces, tattoos, etc. can be removed for an additional fee.
-
Of course! There is a release section on my contract that allows you to mark if you release your images being shared on my website or social media pages.
I do not ever use client names or even first initials. Some clients choose to see their images first and then allow them to be shared after they view them. Whatever your decision is, I respect it!
-
Ah… the waiting is the hardest part! I will do a sneak peek for you of 2-3 images within 72 hours of your session. Your full gallery will be available to view in 3 weeks after your session.
-
Pinterest is a great place to find ideas. If there is a pose or two that you really like, we can try to emulate it but know that traditionally the image will not necessarily look the same. I try really hard to have unique images that capture YOU at your best! Use pinterest as a source of inspiration but we want what is beautiful and unique about YOU!

First time clients: I like to set up a time to talk via phone to discuss the packages, location choices and I will answer any questions you may have!
Once we set our date and time, I will send you the online contract.
Your session is considered scheduled and date held once I receive your contract and retainer fee.
-
I schedule any where from 3-6 months ahead.
I encourage clients to always book early to get their best choice of dates.
Spring and Fall Weekends fill up very fast! Mid March to end of October, weeknight sessions are available.
It is never too early to schedule!
-
The best light of the day is about an hour and half before sunset if we are doing an outdoor session.
-
If it rains we will schedule for our next date that both of us are available. I may ask for some flexibility if I need to back your session up to a previously scheduled session.
-
I travel within a 25 mile radius of my home in Northern Virginia, which includes a wide variety of great locations.
Please see my Locations page for places that I recommend in the local area.
Outside of the 25 miles radius, I charge a $75 travel fee.
-
This depends on your package selection. All of my packages include some digital images and a print credit.
See more on my Pricing & Packages page.
The digital images are chosen by you from your gallery. I include a print credit with my packages because I believe that when you invest in photography you should have something tangible to see and display in your home.
The digital images included in your package, you will have the print rights up to an 8×10 size. You are able to print at your lab of choice 8×10’s and smaller. So the means small gift prints for family, your holiday cards, social media posts, your images can be used for all of those.
Why do I restrict your rights above and 8×10 size?
Because there is a huge difference between consumer labs and professional labs. If you print something large on your walls, I want you to have the best quality available. I give you a print credit included with all packages so you can have a large print in your home that is professionally printed and looks stunning in your home!
-
Typically about an hour. We have time for 2-3 outfits. We typically move to a few different spots within our location to have some variety in your images.
If you think that you will need more time or would like a more extensive session with more than one location you can add an hour to your package for an additional $100.
