đź’¬ Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your session—whether you're expecting, in love, growing your family, or just capturing this season of life
📍 Location & Travel
Where are you located? I’m based in Syracuse, NY, but I travel throughout New York State—including frequent weekend sessions in NYC, where I find endless inspiration in the energy and diversity of the city.
Do you travel for sessions? Absolutely! I love photographing clients all over New York. Whether you're in the city, the mountains, or somewhere in between, I’m happy to meet you there. Travel fees may apply for locations outside the Syracuse area—just reach out for details.
đź“… Booking & Planning
How far in advance should I book? I recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance, especially if you're hoping for a weekend or golden hour slot. However, if you have a last-minute request, don’t hesitate to reach out—I may have openings!
Do you require a deposit?Yes, a non-refundable retainer is due at booking to secure your date. The remaining balance is due prior to your session.
Do you offer payment plans?Yes depending on shoot, I’m happy to work with you on a flexible payment plan that fits your schedule and budget.
📸 During the Session
What types of sessions do you offer?I offer maternity, couples, engagement, family, solo lifestyle, and motherhood sessions. If you're celebrating love, life, or just want to document this moment, I'm here for it.
How long does a session last? Most sessions are about 45–60 minutes. Longer or more customized sessions (like multiple outfits or extended family) can be arranged.
Do you guide us during the session?Yes! You don’t need to know how to pose. I use gentle prompts and natural movement to help you feel comfortable and authentic in front of the camera
.Can we change outfits?Yes! You’re welcome to change outfits once during the session if time and location allow. I’ll help you plan ahead for a smooth transition.
Can my partner, kids, or pet join the session?Absolutely! Your session should reflect your life. I encourage bringing along whoever (or whatever) makes it meaningful to you.
What should we wear?Once you book, I’ll send over a style guide with outfit inspiration and tips. I love helping clients choose looks that photograph beautifully and feel like you. Some sessions also include access to a curated client wardrobe—ask for details!
🌿 Location & Weather
Do you shoot indoors or outdoors?Both! Outdoor sessions are magical during golden hour, while indoor lifestyle sessions offer a cozy, personal feel. We can shoot at your home, a favorite spot, or a location I recommend.
What if it rains or the weather doesn’t cooperate?No stress—we’ll reschedule or switch to an indoor option. I always allow flexibility for weather, especially for outdoor sessions.
Can you help us choose a location?Yes! I have a list of stunning outdoor and indoor options in Syracuse, NYC, and throughout NY. We'll find a spot that fits your vibe and vision.🖼️
After the Session How many images will we receive?You’ll receive a private gallery of 25+(minis only about 15+) with professionally edited, high-resolution images—sometimes more depending on the session.
Will the images be edited?Yes! Every photo you receive is fully edited in my signature moody and timeless style. Light retouching (blemishes, distractions, etc.) is included.When will we get our photos?Galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks via a private online link where you can view, download, and share your images.
Can we print our photos?Yes! Your gallery comes with a print release, so you can print anywhere. You’ll also have access to professional-quality prints and albums directly through your gallery if you’d like something extra special.
