  • Each session includes a specified time slot, a selection of professionally edited images, and access to a private online gallery for easy viewing, downloading, and sharing.

  • No, clients do not receive a proofing gallery. All images are carefully selected and handpicked by me to ensure the highest quality and best representation of your session. Additional selections beyond the allotted number can be purchased for an extra fee.

  • I recommend neutral, coordinating colors that complement each other but avoid overly bold patterns or logos. Feel free to reach out for personalized advice!

  • Retainers are non-refundable because they secure your session date and time, ensuring that I dedicate that slot exclusively to you and turn down other potential bookings. This policy helps cover the initial preparation and planning for your session. However, I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. If you need to reschedule, please notify me at least 48 hours in advance, and we’ll work together to find a new date that suits your schedule.
