Frequently Asked Questions

Honestly, same. I don’t expect you to know what to do or be models at all! I’m there to guide, give prompts, and make sure you feel comfortable. You don’t need to perform or pose a certain way. Just show up as you are and I’ll take care of the rest.

Whatever makes you feel good in your body! If you want input, I’d seriously love to help. Some people send me outfit options or a Pinterest board, and I love that. Layers, textures, and movement friendly stuff always works well. Just one tip: think about contrast—wearing green in the forest or blue near the ocean might make you blend in more than you’d like. But really, if it’s comfortable and feels like you, that’s what matters most.

A: Most sessions are around 1 to 2 hours, but we’ll go with whatever works best for you and your energy. I’ll give you space to settle in and just be yourself. You’ll receive a full online gallery with all the good stuff. No image limits. No awkward “pick five” rules. And I’ll send a sneak peek within 48 hours so you can start reliving the magic right away.

Yes to all of that!! I love when sessions have meaning or weird little personal touches!! Bring your dog, take a dip in the ocean, do karaoke in your living room, whatever feels like you. If there’s something you’re dreaming up, I want to hear about it.

A month or two ahead is great for weekends or golden hour sessions, but if you’re last minute, reach out anyway. My calendar’s always shifting and I do my best to make it work if I can!

To reserve your date, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required. That time is set aside just for you, and a lot of care goes into preparing for each session or wedding. If something unexpected comes up, we can absolutely reschedule—I try to be as flexible and human as possible.

For sessions, it’s 2 weeks. For weddings and elopements, your full gallery will be ready within 2 months. And yes, I send sneak peeks within 48 hours because I know how special it is to relive a moment while it’s still fresh. Everything’s delivered via an online gallery for you to download, share, and print.

Of course, this is the PNW after all, and the weather does what it wants. If you’re not feeling a Notebook moment or dancing in the rain moment, we can totally reschedule. I’ll always check in the day before and we’ll decide together.

IteBefore your nuptials, we’ll chat about what matters most to you—what you’re excited about, what moments feel important. I’m always happy to tell your annoying aunt to gtfo, remind you to take a breath, or offer direction during portraits if you want it. At the end of the day, you’re my number one priority.m description

If something out of my control happens, I’ll do everything I can to find someone who can step in.

Absolutely. If you’re feeling nervous or just want to say hi (and get a little treat), I’m always up for a chat! For weddings and elopements, I always connect with clients beforehand. It’s important to me that we feel good together before your big day.
