Questions & Answers
Boudoir
So...I'm a bit shy...
I completely understand the jitters that come with baring... well... yourself. Getting through the door is the hardest part for many clients. Once here, though, I do everything I can to make you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of my lens. By you the time you leave you will have found a confidence level you never knew you had.
Where will my session take place?
Most clients choose to shoot in my private studio furnished and decorated with a stunning style your sure to love. Of course, you always have
options...
You may choose to do your session in the comfort of your own home ($50 per hour travel fees apply further than 25 miles from my studio).
Another popular option is what I refer to as "date night". Rent a room in a swank hotel to shoot in by day and keep the room for a steamy date
night with your hunny!
What should I wear?
The options are endless! You may opt for a sexy dress and heels, full nudity or somewhere in between. These images should show the sensual side
of you. For some, this means fun and flirty, for others, this means tapping into their saucy side.
While I don't offer a client closet... ummmm....ewwww, I do offer beautiful lingerie at the studio that maxes out at a price of $30. Check out my shop page for details.
What about hair and makeup?
You can add pro services for both hair and makeup starting at $125. My artist is fabulous! You can also come fresh faced with no makeup at all.
Either way, you're stunning.
I don't really know how to "look sexy"...
That's why I'm here! I will not only tell you which ways to move and bend... I will SHOW you. I've spent nearly 20 year in career finding the most flattering
posing for every body type. I'm excited to share my expertise with you.
Can I bring a friend?
Absolutely! Put some serious thought into it though. Will you feel more confident and free with your friend there or will it make you feel the
pressure of an audience?
But... can I bring my hunny?
Yes! But, only if your hunny will be a part of the session. Seriously, the best date night ever!
Do you edit these images?
I offer light editing. I automatically remove non-permanent blemishes such as bruises, acne and scratches. I believe you are beautiful as you are and do not edit to change the shape of your body but, I can certainly help with scars and stretchmarks at your request. If you require something further let's chat before you book.
How far in advance do I need to book?
If you would like to add hair and makeup services to your session, it's best to book at least 3 weeks in advance. If you prefer to handle that
on your own, 2 weeks is plenty, dependent on availability.
Hmmm... but, the session isn't for me. It's a gift...
What a fabulous gift giver you are! My stunning little gift certificate is perfect for your needs and even comes in it's own envelope. You can purchase a certificate via the options drop down menu from any collection in my shop page.
I'm definitely ready to book! What else do I need to know?
While each collection I offer has it's own unique perks, you will always receive my fave images from your session (you can expect around 20 images) both in color and in black and white. These images will be added to a thumb drive with a photo release for printing capabilities. Please allow up to 3 weeks for image processing and an additional 2 weeks for print products. Once your images are ready, we will schedule a time and date for your reveal party. Feel free to bring your hunny or a great friend to enjoy this reveal with you! To book, I require a 50% non-refundable retainer. The remainder is due at your session. This may be paid by cash or check. If you prefer to pay by card, you can do so by purchasing any collection in my shop page. You must pay the full session fee to utilize this option.
Engagement
Ummm... what do I do with my hands?
I get it! Posing might feel daunting but, that's what I'm here for. While I aim to keep your imagery feeling candid and natural I am not afraid to guide you into flattering posing that will have you looking and feel like a rockstar.
Where will our session take place?
The options here are endless. Really. Whether we hit a place you've already been dreaming about or would rather I scout a location that suits your needs, I am totally up for an adventure and love to explore! ($50 per hour travel fees apply further than 25 miles from my studio)
What should we wear?
I believe your engagement session should set the tone for your whole wedding journey. I recommend choosing a color scheme that coordinates with your wedding decor and style...just maybe a bit more casual.

Wedding
Can you describe your photography style?
Well... I like to think of my art as a mix of candids and high fashion style art. My artistic style really feeds on the ambience you've
created for your big day though.
How many images will we receive?
Every wedding is completely different from the next. For this reason I do not count images... instead, I capture moments.
Years from now, you will look at these images and feel the emotions you felt the day you were married. Instead of a promised number, I
promise I won't miss a beat.

How far are you willing to travel for our big day?
To the ends of the earth! Have passport, will travel. I have had the great pleasure of photographing weddings both nationally and internationally.
By all means, let's go somewhere amazing!
How far in advance do I need to book?
To give the very best of myself to each client I work with, I only book a limited number of weddings each year. For this reason I highly
recommend booking 6 months to a year in advance.
Looks like my venue wants proof that you're insured...
I can totally provide that documentation for you. I run legit, so you can bet I am insured and even pay my taxes!
I'm definitely ready to book! What else do I need to know?
While each collection I offer has it's own unique perks, you will always receive my fave images from your session both in color and in black
and white. These images will be added to a thumb drive with a photo release for printing capabilities.
Please allow up to 8 weeks for image processing and an additional 3 weeks for album design and print products. Once your images and prints are
ready, we will schedule a time and date for your reveal party. Feel free to bring your family and besties to enjoy this reveal with you!
