How We Work Together

Services & Investment

Every engagement starts with a conversation, not a contract. We talk through what you actually need, walk you through timeline and cost before you commit to anything, and shape the session around your schedule — whether that's a leadership team with twenty minutes between meetings or a family who needs a little extra patience in front of the camera. No guesswork, no pressure, no surprises on the invoice.

Client Prep Guide

Before Your Shoot

A few friendly tips to help you shine on shoot day.

01

The Week Before

  • ✦Test drive your outfits. No surprises on shoot day.
  • ✦Hydrate! Your skin and eyes will thank you.
  • ✦Haircuts: schedule at least 5-7 days before.
02

The Day Before

  • ✦Skip the last-minute spray tan (no orange streaks!).
  • ✦Get some beauty sleep. Netflix can wait.
  • ✦Lay out wrinkle-free, lint-rolled outfits.
03

Shoot Day

  • ✦Avoid logos and busy patterns.
  • ✦Shoes matter (posture counts!).
  • ✦Empty pockets. No phone bulges.
  • ✦Keep makeup natural and shine-free.
  • ✦Glasses wearers: bring wipes!
  • ✦Eat a real meal. Nobody looks cute hangry.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Both are completely normal, and we plan for it. We build in extra time, keep direction light and playful, and let genuine reactions carry the session rather than forcing a pose. The goal is real, not rigid.

For portrait and family sessions, 3–4 weeks out is usually comfortable, though peak seasons (fall and the December holidays) fill faster. Weekend and priority scheduling are available as add-ons. For events and brand work, reach out as soon as you have a date and we'll work backward from there.

Yes — for both destination family sessions and commercial or editorial work nationwide and abroad. Travel is quoted transparently as part of your proposal, with no hidden markups.

We talk through location, timing, wardrobe direction, and what matters most to you for the finished gallery. For commercial work, this is also where we confirm deliverables, usage, and turnaround.

We confirm your delivery timeline when you book. If you need photos sooner, rush delivery is available: family and senior sessions offer a 5 day rush ($75) or a 48 hour rush ($120), headshots offer rush delivery for $85, and event coverage offers a 72 hour turn around ($150) or a 24 hour turn around ($300).

Yes. Additional images can be added after your gallery arrives (family and senior sessions are $15 each or $120 for ten, headshots are $25 each or $100 for five, and events are $75 for 30 or $150 for 70). Family and senior packages also offer a preview gallery.

Our friendly Before Your Shoot guide covers outfits, haircuts, hydration, and shoot day basics so you arrive relaxed and ready.
