If you're not sure what to expect, don't worry! I'll show you example poses so you don't feel awkward in front of the camera. If you'd like, I can also show you the pictures as I take them so you're not in the dark about how they'll turn out.

Wear whatever you're comfortable with, but keep the location in mind. During cooler weather, bring a jacket/blanket/gloves you can take on and off between photos. If you plan on a location that requires a bit of a walk, it may help to bring some extra closed-toed shoes. As far as color goes, solid earth tones and creamy colors are always a safe bet.

After the session, I'll narrow down the photos I took to make it less overwhelming. This will be anywhere from 50-250 photos. I'll send those unedited photos to you in a gallery where I can view which ones you "like". Just let me know when you're done selecting your favorites (within the amount specified in your package) and I'll edit them within 10 days. You'll receive an email from me when your photos are done with a link to the gallery and a download pin. Those edited photos are yours to use for whatever you'd like! You can view sample galleries in the "client galleries" tab.

I am willing to travel throughout Arizona, but sessions outside of Flagstaff will likely incur an additional fee to cover travel expenses. I generally do not accept portrait bookings outside of Arizona, but may take on weddings in neighboring states.

It is very rare that I provide unedited photos. The ones you see in the gallery where you select your favorites are watermarked and not available to download. They are my sole property and screenshotting or sharing these photos to social media are not permitted as they are not included in your package. RAW files may be available to purchase at an additional price.

If you have a location in mind, I'm happy to check it out! If you have no idea where you want to take your photos, I have plenty of experience and can recommend spots all over Arizona to fit whatever vibe you're going for.

You are more than welcome to bring a friend or parent along to keep you company, hold your accessories, fix your hair, or whatever else you need them for. I'm happy to snap a picture or two with both of you, but if you're hoping to turn your solo shoot into a group shoot, you will have to pay group pricing.

Pets are always welcome to join, but bring them at your own discretion. If you think they could distract from the session, it might be best to leave them at home. You can also bring a friend to watch your pet while we get some solo pictures.

If you selected a package before the session but want more photos than the amount specified in the package, you do have the option to pay an additional $2.50 per photo.

My edits are primarily with light and color, and I will never alter your body without permission. If you're looking through the unedited gallery and notice something you want me to fix (acne, flyaways, smudged makeup, etc.) just let me know and I'll do my best to touch it up.

My portrait packages only include digital downloads. The website that powers my galleries features a shop where you can purchase copies of your photos on prints, canvases, books, and more. I can also provide a USB flash drive of your photos for a $5 fee.

For sessions with a retainer fee, 25% of the total price will be due before the session, and the remaining amount will be due five days after receipt of the finished photos. If you decide to purchase additional photos, that payment will be due on the same date. There are several payment options including cash, card, Venmo, and more. Tips are always welcome but never expected!

Some sessions will require a 25% retainer fee. This counts as a deposit toward your total payment and ensures that the date/time will be reserved for you. If you fail to pay the fee, you risk the date being taken by someone else.

If your session required a retainer fee, it will not be refunded. If you have already paid in full, the remaining amount will be refunded. Rescheduling may require a new retainer fee to reserve that date.

I value your safety and comfort, and I'm usually happy to reschedule for a clearer day without requiring a new retainer fee. You can read more about my weather policy in the contract you sign before booking the session.

I will send a reminder one day before payment is due, and again on the day of. If the payment still is not made by the due date, the payment will incur a late fee of 20% per month.

As a photographer, I own all photos that I capture and I often use them to gain more clients. Unless you request otherwise, there is a possibility that your photos may end up on my website, social media, or other marketing materials. I value privacy and will take all requests into serious consideration.

I am always happy to work around any budget or needs. If one of my packages isn't quite what you're looking for, reach out to me and we can design a custom package that fits exactly what you need!

I believe quality photography should be accessible to everyone - it's as simple as that. My lower prices absolutely do not reflect a lower quality.
