SIT BACK, ACT NATURAL, AND LET’S TAKE SOME PICTURES
If you’re thinking about booking a session but aren’t sure what to expect, let me walk you through it. There’s no need to worry about knowing how to pose or feeling camera-ready, I design my sessions to be as relaxed as possible. From the moment we begin, I’ll help you feel at ease, guiding you through each step without any rush. If you’re not sure what to do in front of the camera, that’s completely okay! I’ll offer gentle guidance and suggestions to help you look and feel your best!
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is my process.
Here is What To Expect When You Book With Me!
I. GETTING STARTED - The inquiry
Step one is a breeze, just fill out my inquiry form with your session details! The more info you share, the better. This helps me get a clear picture of what you’re looking for, your vision, and any specific ideas you have in mind. After I review your inquiry, I’ll send you my Welcome Guide, What to Wear Guide, 15 Tips You Need to Know (because who doesn’t love a good checklist?). And if you’re not sure where to shoot, no worries! I’ll also send over my Location Suggestion list to help you find the perfect spot.
Everything you need to feel fully prepared for your session! So you can leave the worrying out of it. :)
II. the big day - your photoshoot
On the day of your session, my focus is on capturing authentic, natural moments while making sure you feel relaxed and confident.
I know being in front of the camera can feel nerve-wracking, but don't worry! I'll guide you through poses and movements that look natural on camera, so you don't have to overthink a thing.
III. the reveal - delivering your memories
After your session, I carefully hand-edit and retouch each image to bring out the best in every shot. Once your gallery is ready, you'll receive a private link to an online gallery where you can view your entire collection, download to your phone, computer, share to social media, and even order prints- directly from your gallery!
xtras - Referral discount
I also offer a referral discount, so if you loved your session and refer someone who mentions your name & successfully books with me, you'll receive a little thank you!
What are You Waiting For?
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
Don’t worry—I’ll guide you through the entire process! The most important thing is to relax and be yourself. I’ll help with poses, so you don’t need to feel pressured to know exactly what to do. It’s normal to feel a little awkward at first, but we’ll make it fun and natural. Wear something that makes you feel confident, and try to avoid last-minute changes like tanning or drastic haircuts. Most importantly, enjoy the experience—photoshoots are about capturing your unique essence and having fun!
What's your pricing?
I offer tiered packages to suit different needs and preferences. Since every session is unique, I'd love to discuss your specific vision and provide you with a custom quote. Feel free to reach out and I'll be happy to help you find the perfect package for your session!
Do you offer prints or albums?
Yes! Once your gallery is delivered, you will have the option to order prints and other keepsakes directly from my website.
How should I prepare for the shoot?
Get a good night’s sleep and drink plenty of water leading up to the shoot. Feeling rested and hydrated will help you look and feel your best.
I also have a "15 Tips To Need to Know" that goes more in depth to ensure you will be fully prepared! :)
How many photos will i receive?
The exact number of photos depends on the session you book. Most package include a minimum of 10 professionally edited and retouched images, but many sessions offer more or sometimes less depending on time and details involved.
Do I need to bring anything?
You are welcome to bring props; flowers, a blanket, an umbrella, your favorite drink or snack, meaningful props that reflect your personality, etc. Props don't have to scream PROP. Aside from props, if you’d like, feel free to bring a few personal items, like small touch-up essentials (lipstick, hair spray, hair pins, oil blotting sheets). Snacks and water are always great, especially if you are bringing children!
What should I wear?
Wear neutral, solid colors to keep the focus on you. Avoid bold patterns, logos, or anything too distracting. For group photos, aim to coordinate outfits with complementary tones instead of matching exactly. Most importantly, wear something you're comfortable in! I also supply a 'What to Wear Guide' to make the process less stressful. :)
Do you have a question I haven't covered?
Reach out directly through my “Contact” page! I’d love to answer your questions!
Help Me Keep Creating!
Every session I capture is backed by hours of work, from fine-tuning edits, to scouting locations. Beyond time, photography also requires constant investment; upgrading cameras, maintaining software, and ensuring I have the best tools to give you beautiful high-quality images.
