Every image reflects the unique combination of the session, setting, and the people within it. Each session is relaxed and guided — I’ll help with posing while keeping things natural so your personality shines through. My goal is to make the experience fun, comfortable, and true to you. After your session, I’ll carefully select and hand-edit the best images, then upload them in sizes suitable for the web (under 1 MG) to an online gallery for you to view and download.

Once you choose a session type and book your appointment, you’ll receive a brief questionnaire to help me prepare and tailor your session. Along with it, you’ll get the service contract and waiver to confirm the appointment. Payment is due on the session date.

After the shoot, you’ll receive 10–20 hand-edited images in your online gallery — typically 10 on average for shorter sessions and up to 20 for longer ones.

To get the discount on the session type advertised on Groupon you will need to purchase it. However, I do offer other non-Groupon specials on my website from time to time that you can enjoy, and do not require a Groupon purchase.

Current turnaround time is approximately two weeks, subject to change.

Nope, totally your choice! Your gallery includes web-size images that are great for sharing online, though monitors vary so I can’t guarantee how they’ll appear on every screen. For prints, I can help you order through a professional lab on a system calibrated to my vendor.

If your chosen location requires a rental or photography permit, it’s the client’s responsibility to secure and cover those fees. Any reservations or payments must be made directly by the client.

For outfits, I recommend coordinating rather than matching exactly — neutrals, soft earth tones, or muted colors tend to photograph beautifully outdoors. Avoid bright neons or busy patterns, since they can draw attention away from faces. Layers and subtle textures (like knits or denim) also look great on camera, especially in fall.
