  • How Do I Book A Session?
    Easy! In just a few steps: Reach out via email or Facebook messenger with the package you would like to book, a specific location or type (beach, greenery, city, etc) you are interested in and a timeframe you are looking to book for. We will work together to secure a date, location and time for your session. You will receive and invoice, receipt, access to my style guide & Amazon clothing lists as well as a follow-up message the week prior to your session.
  • What If I Am Unsure Which Package Would Be Best For Me?
    No worries at all! Just reach out to me via email or FB messenger and let me know what you are looking to have captured and I will make a recommendation based on on your photography needs, # of individuals in the session, location, time of day and more.
  • What Do I Wear?
    Upon booking, you will have access to my styling guide as well as my Amazon clothing lists that have direct links to clothes I love where you can either purchase directly or use as inspiration pieces to build your look. I am also 100% available to chat through your outfits and help build them accordingly or offer my recommendations.
  • What If The Weather Is Bad?
    Living in Florida, the weather is always the most unpredictable aspect of our session. Unfortunately I am still waiting on my weather machine, lol, so until then we will stay in touch and evaluate the weather the day of our session. If we decide to fully reschedule, we will work to set a rain date for our session or I will offer you a full session voucher for you to redeem at a later time that will never expire!
  • I Am Worried My Children May Not Cooperate
    Overall, my largest goal next to capturing your memories, is fostering a fun and relaxed environment for you and your family to feel comfortable in and allow for your genuine smiles, laughs and love to flow endlessly. My #1 reccommendation to achieve this is for you as parents to stay cool, calm and collected by putting your trust in me as your photographer and a professional. Do you have a super active toddler who won't stay still? No worries! Sports/action photography was the very first kind of photography I ever fell in love with, so I can easily capture them on the go. Is your child more on the shy side? These littles always end up with the best shots. If this is the case, making sure your child feels comfortable is my main focus. I like to put my camera down, sit at their level and get to know them for a few minutes. Maybe we play a game, search for some seashells together, find some pretty flowers, whatever it may be, to help them to open up a bit! Do you have a teen who thinks a family photoshoot is the dumbest thing ever? I totally get it, because we were all too cool for our families once right? Lol. My main reminder to them is that the faster they jump in, smile and try to have a good time, the faster they get to go home and be done with the photoshoot (this works like a charm! lol) No matter the situation, I will quickly adapt and capture beautiful photos of your family. At my photoshoots, having fun is most important, not forcing anyone to sit still, smile and be rigid. If they want to run, we'll run! If they have a pout face, then they may need to get tickled! We will capture your memories, together. :D
  • When Will I Receive My Images?
    I always aim to have your edited digital images returned to you within 72 hours as long as there is no photoshopping needed or extra editing you requested outside of the normal.
  • Am I Able To Print My Photos and How?
    Yes! You have the rights to print the photos from our session for personal use only, meaning in-home, gifts for friends & family etc. You may not print your photos for profit or have them used in publications without approval from me first. To print your images please DOWNLOAD the full resolution image from your gallery. A screenshot WILL NOT print correctly. *If your print shop requires a print release, please contact me and I will provide you with one.
  • Can I Share My Photos On Social Media?
    Absolutely! For personal use only as in your personal Facebook, Instagram etc. Please do not allow for businesses or other profiting accounts to share our images without my permission first. And if you remember, tag me! :)
