When will I get my photos?
After your session, I know you’re excited to see your photos, so I work hard to get them to you as quickly as possible!
Sneak Peeks: I often share a few sneak peeks within a few days of the session so you can get a glimpse of what’s to come.
Full Gallery Delivery: Your full, edited gallery will typically be ready within 2 weeks. I take great care in editing each photo to ensure they look their best, and this time frame allows for quality results.

What should I wear?
I recommend choosing outfits that feel comfortable and reflect your personal style. Here are a few tips:
Stick with neutrals and soft colors: Earth tones, pastels, or muted colors photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you rather than on any bold patterns.
Coordinate, don’t match: If you’re taking group or family photos, aim for coordinating colors and styles rather than everyone wearing the exact same thing. This adds visual interest and cohesion.
Think about the location and vibe: For outdoor sessions, casual and comfortable outfits work well, while a more formal setting may call for something dressier.
Avoid logos and busy patterns: Solid colors or subtle textures tend to look best on camera, as logos and patterns can be distracting.
Layers and accessories add depth: Simple layering (like a jacket or scarf) and accessories (like hats or jewelry) can add dimension and personality to your look.
Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel confident and yourself! If you need any specific advice based on your session, feel free to reach out—I’m here to help you look and feel your best!

What should I bring?
What to bring depends on what kind of shoot we have planned. Here are a few items I recommend:
Touch-up items: Consider bringing a small bag with essentials like a brush, makeup for quick touch-ups, extra hair ties, and lip balm.
Outfit changes: If your session includes different looks, bring any additional outfits, shoes, or accessories. Make sure they’re wrinkle-free and easy to change into.
Comfort essentials: If we’re shooting outdoors, bring water, snacks, and maybe a jacket or blanket to keep warm between shots.
Shoes and blankets for outdoor comfort: If we’re on location, a blanket to sit on or comfortable shoes for walking between spots can be helpful.
Special items for kids: If you’re bringing little ones, consider bringing snacks, toys, or items that will keep them happy and entertained.
Special items for pets: If you’re bringing your dog, bring toys, treats or anything I can use to get their attention. Consider brining someone with you to help hold your pet while they are not in the shot.
