frequently asked questions
What's your photography style?
I offer indoor and outdoor, natural-light portraits focused on encouraging women of all ages. I have a relaxed and uplifting approach. Rather than micro managing every detail, there is a fluidity in my lifestyle approach that let's the inspiration flow organically, like photojournalism.
Book your Session
Will you help me pose?
While I do offer some posing direction and ideas, my main priority is to capture your natural essence and your love of your craft. My love of golden light and movement oftentimes shines through in my work. I whole-heartedly embrace artistic blurs and sun flare and the in-between moments!
Can you help me decide what to wear?
Absolutely! I'm happy to help you plan what to wear. We'll schedule a time to talk about your vision/ideas and what would work best for your photo session.
what do you do if the weather isn't nice?
I will check in with you a few days before your photo session. If the weather is not cooperating, we can just reschedule for another day, no problem!
how long are mini sessions?
Mini sessions are approximately 30 minutes long. If we find that we want to shoot for a few more minutes or had to take breaks, I am happy to extend the time of the shoot without charging an additional fee.
Looking for a longer session? Just let me know what you’re looking for and we can create a custom photo session for you!
