FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer straightforward pricing with no hidden fees. Sessions are customized based on location, group size, and type of session. A retainer is required to reserve your date, and I occasionally offer seasonal mini sessions and returning-client discounts.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a conversation about your vision, preferred location, and goals for the session. Once your date is booked, I’ll help with planning, outfit guidance, and location recommendations. During the session, I focus on making everyone feel comfortable while capturing genuine moments. Edited images are delivered through a private online gallery.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Photography has been a passion of mine for years, and I’ve invested significant time into learning camera techniques, lighting, posing, composition, and professional editing. I continually study industry trends and techniques to provide the best experience and images for my clients.
