Common Questions
Find quick answers to common questions about my sessions and process. If you don't see your question, feel free to reach out.
Delivery
What is your typical turnaround time?
I pride myself on a quick one-week turnaround for all portrait galleries. You will receive a link to a private online gallery where you can easily download and share your high-quality images.
Session Info
What should we wear for our session?
I recommend choosing a color palette rather than matching exactly. Neutral tones and soft colors work beautifully with natural light. I'll send you a detailed style guide once you book your session.
Booking
What happens if it rains?
For outdoor sessions, we will keep a close eye on the forecast. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we will reschedule to the next available date that works for your family at no additional cost.
Delivery
Do you provide the digital files?
Yes! All of my packages include high-resolution digital files delivered via a private online gallery. You will also receive a print release so you can print your photos wherever you like.
