FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All pricing is flat per session, listed up front, with no hidden fees. Family sessions: mini $195 (30 minutes, 15 photos), classic $275 (60 minutes, 20 photos), extended $365 (90 minutes, 35 photos). Maternity $225 to $400. In-home newborn $295 to $475. Couples and engagement $195 to $385. Headshots $175, personal branding $275, extended branding $400. Every package includes the edited digital images and an online gallery you can download and share. A 30% retainer reserves your date and time, and the balance is due 24 hours before the session. The retainer is non-refundable because it holds a spot I turn other people away for. I deliver digital galleries only, so there is no print or album package and no pressure to buy one afterward.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Four steps, and I keep it simple. First, tell me what you are celebrating, roughly when, and how many people will be in the photos, and I will confirm I am free and which session fits. Second, we lock the date with a 30% retainer and talk through location, timing and what to wear. I will give you real guidance here, including the best light for the time of year. Third, the session itself, which is relaxed. I give simple posing direction and otherwise let things happen, especially with small children. Fourth, I edit and deliver your images in an online gallery you can download, share and print from.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Families wanting updated portraits and milestone photos, expecting parents, new parents who want newborn photos at home without packing up a baby and driving anywhere, couples marking engagements, anniversaries and proposals, and entrepreneurs, creators and small business owners who need clean headshots and personal branding images for LinkedIn, a website or social media. I also photograph small celebrations like birthdays, baby showers and family gatherings.
