    You can easily book a session through our website! Simply visit the Contact Us - Let’s Work Together page, fill out the inquiry form, and we'll get in touch with you to confirm the details and availability. Alternatively, feel free to reach out directly via email or phone.

  • What’s included in a typical photography package?

    Each package includes shooting time, edited high-resolution images, and a private online gallery for easy image viewing and download. Custom packages are also available, so don’t hesitate to ask for more details based on your specific needs.

  • How long will it take to receive my photos?

    Typically, it takes 2- 7 days to fully edit and deliver your images, depending on the size and type of the session. I’ll always keep you updated with the progress and let you know when your photos are ready!

  • Do you offer prints or albums?

    No ! But I can make recommendations on the best place(s) to get the images that are included with your package printed.

  • Can I request specific edits or retouching?

    I offer basic edits to enhance your photos, including color correction, exposure adjustments, and cropping. If you require more extensive retouching (e.g., removing blemishes or background changes), I offer this as an additional service. Please discuss any specific requests before the shoot.

  • What should I wear for my photo session?

    Wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident! I recommend solid colors or simple patterns that won’t distract from your face. For headshot sessions, avoid logos or overly busy designs. If you have any doubts, I’m happy to give personalized outfit suggestions based on your session style.

  • Do you travel for shoots?

    Yes, I travel for shoots! Whether it’s an on-location shoot, destination wedding, or corporate event, I’m happy to accommodate travel requests. Additional travel fees may apply depending on the location.

  • How do I prepare for my photo session?

    For the best results, get plenty of rest the night before your session, and stay hydrated. If you’re having a portrait session, practicing your favorite poses in front of a mirror can help you feel more comfortable. I’ll guide you through everything during the session, so there’s no need to worry about looking awkward!

  • What happens if it rains or the weather isn’t ideal for an outdoor shoot?

    I always have a backup plan in place! If we’re doing an outdoor shoot and the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can either reschedule or move to an indoor location. If it's an important day (e.g., an event), we’ll make sure everything goes smoothly, rain or shine.

  • How do I access my photos after the shoot?

    After your session, you will receive a private, password-protected online gallery where you can view, and share your photos. I will also provide you with a high-quality pin-protected downloadable version of your images for print use.

  • What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

    If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give at least [72 hours] notice to avoid any cancellation fees. If you need to reschedule due to unforeseen circumstances, we will work together to find a new date. Please refer to my booking contract for more details.

  • Can I use my photos for commercial purposes?

    For personal sessions (e.g., portraits or family photos), the photos are for personal use only. For commercial shoots (e.g., brand photography), the licensing terms will be outlined in the contract, and additional usage rights may be available for purchase.

  • How do I pay for my session?

    You can pay via [credit card, PayPal, bank transfer, etc.]. A (non-refundable) deposit is required to secure your booking, and the remaining balance is due [24 hrs] prior to the shoot.

  • Do you offer gift cards?

    Yes, we offer gift cards! They make a great gift for friends or loved ones. Feel free to reach out to us for more information on how to purchase a gift card for a photography session.
