Frequently Asked Questions

01/

General

  • Oh, trust me, you are not alone! Almost every couple, family, and individual I photograph arrives to the photoshoot with these inhibitions—until we get going. I always tell my clients, the first 20 minutes are purely a warm-up. We’re both getting comfortable in our flow, and then every time without fail, we both end up totally vibing having a great time. My sessions are all about keeping things fun, relaxed, and natural. I’ll guide you every step of the way, so no stiff, awkward poses here—just real, beautiful moments. (With the occasional dad joke or two😆)

  • I’m all about storytelling through emotion-filled, artistic imagery. My editing style is warm, timeless, and true to life—I want you to look at your photos years from now and feel the moment all over again.

  • It’s easy! Just head over to my Contact Page and send me a message. We’ll chat about what you’re looking for, pick a date, and I’ll send over a contract and invoice to officially reserve your spot!

  • Yes! I’m based near Hartford, Connecticut, but I have absolutely no problem with traveling for weddings, elopements, or sessions of any kind really! Travel fees may apply depending on location—just reach out, and we’ll figure out the details.

  • You’ll receive a few sneak peaks within 48 hours following your session, and then your full gallery will be delivered a few weeks later. My turnaround time varies by session type:

    • Weddings: 6-8 weeks (but you’ll get a whole bunch of sneak peaks while you’re waiting!)

    • Couples, boudoir, and family sessions: 2-3 weeks

    I spend a lot of time pouring my heart into my editing process – carefully editing each and every photo. 

    *If you need your photos sooner, rush editing may be available for an additional fee.

  • All images are delivered via an online gallery where you can view, download, and share all your images in high-resolution format. You’ll also have the option to order professional-quality prints directly from your gallery! For my clients who like a more hands-free approach to developing their photos, I am available to help guide you, create and order photo books, gifts, etc. Whatever you need, just ask. I’m here for my clients every step of the way.

  • Yes! I believe your photos deserve to be more than just pixels on a screen. You’ll have the option to order professional prints, wall art, and custom albums straight from your gallery. Any questions at all, just reach out!

  • Life happens. If you need to reschedule, just let me know and we’ll come up with a new date! Sessions that need to be rescheduled within 4 weeks of the session date will incur a $150 rescheduling fee. This rescheduling fee is also applied for sessions rescheduled more than 2 times.

    For cancellations, retainers are non-refundable, but I’m happy to work with you on rescheduling to a new date.

  • Absolutely. For more elaborate sessions like weddings and boudoir, I love hopping on a video call or grabbing coffee to chat about your vision and see if we’re the perfect fit.

  • A non-refundable retainer is required to secure your booking, and the remaining balance is due before your session. I accept payments via credit card, PayPal, venmo, cash app, check, and cash.

  • I got you! Just shoot me a message here, and I’ll be happy to answer anything else.

Boudoir

  • Nope! That’s my job. I’ll guide you through everything—how to pose, where to place your hands, and even how to breathe to create the most natural, flattering shots. Plus, I’ll hype you up the entire time. You’re going to feel amazing!

  • Yes! Professional hair and makeup are available as an add-on. Having a pro pamper you before your session can make a world of difference in how you feel walking into your shoot!

  • 100%. Your online gallery is private, and can be password-protected if desired. There is a model release in my client contract, which states that the images can be used for promotional purposes, such as portfolio and social media advertising. If my client explicitly requests their images not to be shared, I will of course respect those wishes. My goal is to make your photography experience as amazing as possible, so whatever you need, I’ve got you.

Families & Couples

  • Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident! Neutral, earth-toned, and soft colors tend to photograph beautifully. Avoid large logos and overly busy patterns. If one person wears a pattern, opt for complimentary colors, rather than multiple patterns, which can look distracting. All in all, I want you to wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident! 

    If you need help, I’m always happy to give outfit guidance :)

  • Um, YES. 🐶 Pets are family, and I love when they join in on the fun! Just bring some treats and a leash, and we’ll make sure they get their spotlight in the photos too.

  • Don’t worry – I have a toddler myself, so I totally get it! It’s their world and we’re just living in it 🤪I facilitate a very chill, judgement-free zone filled with good vibes and lots of patience and understanding. I’ll arrive ready to capture all the amazing shots right away, since the kiddos tend to dictate how long (or short) the photoshoot will be. I’ll bring reinforcements, like bubbles and lollipops. My approach to family photography is all about movement, playfulness, and capturing real moments. We’ll run around, play games, and embrace the chaos—the most beautiful photographs come from these candid, genuine moments.
