Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer digitals?
Yes! I have several packages with digitals.
What time of day to you do sessions?
I usually schedule sessions the last couple of hours before sunset depending on which sitting you choose. Monday through Thursdays are my "shooting" days, but I also offer Sunday sessions which require a higher purchase minimum.
What's the best time of year to book a session?
Sessions are offered year round, but much of it depends on what you like, your schedule and how booked I am. Late Summer through Thanksgiving is usually busy because moms want to make yearbook deadlines and in the Fall the temperatures are nicer. March through May is also a very busy time because everyone who didn't book in the Fall needs to get files for Graduation announcements. If you are a planner and want to be ahead of the game, I suggest a Summer or early Fall session. If you like the urban look, a Winter session in January or February would be perfect.
When should I book my session?
The earlier the better. Every year I get desperate calls and emails and I often book 1-3 months in advance. Text and email are the best ways to reach me:

How long will it take for me to get my pictures?
I usually have a quick turnaround. A retainer fee is required to hold a date. It goes entirely towards the sitting fee and products. After the session, I word diligently to get the images edited and ready for viewing. Typically within one to three days, I'll send an invoice for the purchase minimum and once that is paid, you'll be given a link to your proofing gallery as well as products I offer.
We can talk on the phone, in person, or by email to confirm your choices. I will send your digital choices right away, and will notify you once products arrive, or if you have travelled from out of town for your session, I can have them shipped to your home by request.
