I strive to make your experience of working with me as stress free as possible. If you have any questions prior to booking, I am here to help guide you on what you are looking for.
Once you have decided on your date and time you can submit a request to book that will create a proposal. Within 24 hours I will review the proposal send you an email with a link to complete your booking that holds your date for 48 hours. Once the 48 hours is up the date and time goes back up for grabs. Your session is considered officially booked on my calendar when the deposit is paid and the contract is signed.
After that I will help you decide on the location you would like to be (if you haven't already decided), share my Style Guide and discuss any other questions you may have.
During your session I will guide you with prompts and poses to make you look your best and have a great time. I have some tricks up my sleeve to keep those kiddo's attention and make Dad's give me some genuine smiles.
You will get your proofs within 72 hours of your session to choose your favorites.
Once your gallery is finalized I will send you a link to download, share with friends and family or order prints if you'd like! Easy peasy!
What area are you located in?
I am in SouthWest Florida - Servicing Bradenton, Sarasota, Anna Maria Island, Venice, Longboat Key, St. Petersburg, Palmetto, Parrish, Clearwater, Madeira, and Lakewood Ranch.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you know your date, lock in your session. I curate my calendar to only accept a certain number of sessions a week to accommodate travelers and incase we need to reschedule because of weather. I am booking now all the way into the Spring of 2024.
What are your rates?
I have several packages available for different types of photography. Check out pricing page here for more information.
Deposits are not refundable. This is to reserve the date for just you. If you cancel or no show it cannot be refunded.
What should I wear?
Great question! There are things that do not photograph well so I created a Style Guide to help you. Click Here to learn more, and of course you are welcome to always reach out for help if needed.
Do you have backup equipment?
Yes. I carry an additional body and lens with me on every single shoot incase my main camera malfunctions.
Can you make me look thinner/what retouching do you do?
I believe in body positivity and do not make any modifications to make you look skinnier, tanner, or any other type of body changes.
I will remove blemishes, flyaways and enhance your natural beauty.
Excessive retouching such as removing a tattoo that is in every single image or face swapping because you like your face in one picture better than the other is subject to an additional per image/retouch charge.
Do you offer payment plans?
I do, I accept Afterpay! The deposit is required to reserve your session, but I can set up a payment plan for you for the remaining balance if needed.
I wanna be tan for my session can I book at the end of my trip?
I hear this quite often actually. Keep in mind Florida weather can be tricky, so if it ends up raining and I cannot reschedule you before you leave you will forfeit your deposit.
Also - a lot of times (especially in the winter) instead of getting tan, clients end up burnt and have swimsuit tan lines. I cannot edit out your tan lines, so keep that in mind when choosing your bathing suit and attire for photos.
How many people can I have in my session?
Family sessions are for immediate family members only. You can add additional members for $50 per person or add grandma and grandpa for $65.
What if it rains?
Florida weather can be tricky sometimes. I always encourage travelers to book their session for a date towards the beginning of their trip incase weather forces us to reschedule.
What is your turnaround time?
This will depend on how quickly you let me know your selections. You will have your proofs back from me within 72 hours and then you have 7 days to make your selections. On average its between 2-3 weeks, but most times sooner.
We are so awkward, can you help pose us?
Yes! I will take you through some natural candid moments as well as posed to look natural. Don't worry - I got you!
Are you insured?
Yes! I am fully insured with both equipment insurance and liability insurance.
