Lay back, act natural, and let’s take some pictures
This isn’t about a photo session, or even the pictures, it’s about YOU. Forget about posing and feeling stiff in front of the camera. Imagine going on a walk with an old friend, who just happens to have a camera with them. My process is free and flowy, and my only goal is to capture your true self.
Here's what goes down

Your beautiful photos
Within a few weeks, you’ll receive your fully edited gallery, ready for you to relive your best moments. Get ready to see yourself in all your natural, stunning glory.
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
No worries — I’ve got you covered! I’ll guide you through every step of the process, from poses to timelines to outfit choices. The goal is to make it fun and relaxed, so we can capture your best self without any stress.
How many pictures will I receive?
You’ll receive all editable images from your session. That means every shot I deem worthy of editing will be polished and delivered to you. Any blurry, duplicate, or less-than-perfect shots will be removed, so you get the best of the best.
How long is the turnaround time for our gallery?
For portrait sessions (family, couple, maternity, etc.), expect your edited gallery in 2-3 weeks. For weddings and elopements, it’ll take 6-8 weeks as I want to give each image the attention it deserves.
What should I wear?
Wear whatever feels like you! But if you’re unsure, I’m happy to help with outfit styling. I can suggest color schemes and guide you on what will look best for your session’s vibe and location.
Are you available outside of Maricopa?
Yes! I love to travel! For anything outside of a 30-mile radius of Maricopa, a travel fee of $1 per additional mile will apply.
If your location is outside of Arizona, travel fees may include airfare, lodging, or rentals, depending on the location and time of year. Feel free to inquire, and we’ll work out the details.
Do you provide the original RAW unedited images?
In short, no. The images in their raw form aren’t a true representation of my work. All of your gallery images will be carefully edited to improve lighting, contrast, sharpness, and color to ensure they reflect my signature style.
Think of it like this, you wouldn't go to Hell's Kitchen and request to purchase a RAW steak, you pay for the full experience.
Can I bring props or pets to the session?
Of course! Props and pets can make your session even more personal and fun. Just let me know what you’re thinking, and we’ll make sure everything fits seamlessly into your shoot.
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yes, I offer flexible payment plans for your convenience. We can discuss a payment structure that works for your budget, so don’t hesitate to reach out if that’s something you’re interested in!
What happens if we need to reschedule?
Life happens, and I totally get that! If you need to reschedule, just give me as much notice as possible, and I’ll do my best to accommodate you.
Per my contract, you’re allotted one reschedule per session. Any additional reschedules will incur a $50 rescheduling fee. For weddings or events, I recommend making changes well in advance, but I’ll work with you to find the best solution possible.
What is a retainer?
The retainer is what you pay to actually book your session. This is a small amount that goes toward your total session price and is non-refundable.
For portrait sessions the retainer is $50. For weddings, the retainer is 25% of the total package price.
