Session Information
{please take a moment to read this if you have already booked or are planning to book a session}
All session times are estimates. My goal is to create a positive and relaxing experience with my clients - and however short or long it takes to accomplish that goal will vary! Please don't be afraid to give me ideas or bring your own props! Your pictures should reflect YOU and I love when my clients are involved in the creative aspect of taking pictures. If you have no preferences, that's fine too - I'm happy to suggest locations, poses and props.
Rescheduling & Cancellations: Please recognize that there is a difference between rescheduling your session and cancelling it. In either circumstance, please notify me as soon as possible and we can reschedule. If canceled less than 48 hours prior to your session, your desposit will not be refunded and you will need to reschedule a new session. In the unlikely event that I need to reschedule, I will respect the 48 hour policy as well. Regardless of who reschedules, the deposit will be applied towards a new session date (48 hour notification required). Cancelled sessions will not recieve a refund.

Editing: Each image is edited and ready to print. I consider myself a perfectionist, especially when it comes to post-processing. I pay attention to every detail (color correction & enhancement, blemish removal, contrast etc.) making sure that each image reflects the natural beauty of its subject(s). Every image is available in color, black & white and sepia at no extra charge. If you have any specific style and/or color requests (ie: vintage, hazy, texturized etc.) please let me know!!
Children and Babies: When young children and babies are involved, things need to be flexible. Session times involving children and babies will usually be longer because frequent breaks are needed. I like to capture the children/babies in an environment that they are comfortable in. A nearby park, the backyard or the living room are all perfect choices.
