season, month, or specific date range

What should we wear?


I'll send you a full styling guide after you book, but the short version: coordinating colors (not matching), layers, and textures all photograph beautifully. Avoid large logos or busy patterns.

What if my kids don't cooperate?


Honestly? That's normal, and I'm used to it. Some of the best photos come from the chaos. I build extra time into sessions for littles, and I'm patient and experienced at working with kids of all ages.

Where do sessions take place?


Outdoors at locations around Licking County — parks, fields, farms, and other scenic spots. I will send you a Location Guide. Or, I'm happy to suggest locations based on your family's style, or we can use a spot that's meaningful to you.

MORE FAQ

This is my first photoshoot, and I'm nervous that I won't know what to do.

No need to stress — you don’t need any experience at all! Just be yourself and enjoy the moment. I’ll guide you with posing, expressions, and everything in between. We’re going to have a great time!

Can I print my photos?

Absolutely! Once your gallery is ready, you can download and print your photos anytime. Just a heads-up — for the best quality, I recommend using the professional lab linked in your gallery. I can’t guarantee how prints will turn out if you use other labs.

When can I expect to receive my photos?

In just two weeks, you’ll get a link to your very own online gallery filled with all your photos!

Are you available to work outside of Licking County?

Absolutely, I understand that travel may be necessary. I want to let you know that I can travel to you, though please keep in mind that there might be an additional travel charge depending on the distance.

What is a booking retainer?

A booking retainer is an advance payment made by you as a down payment for future services I will provide. This retainer fee is non-refundable and covers the initial expenses of our working relationship.

What should I do if the weather is bad or I am sick on my session day?

If the weather is not ideal and either party feels uncomfortable with the forecast, I will offer a makeup session. If you or a family member becomes ill, please contact me as soon as possible. I will coordinate a reschedule within two months of the original session date.

What is the best time of day to take photographs?

The best times for capturing amazing photos really depend on the time of year. Personally, I love shooting in the evening during sunset because that golden light is just perfect! I usually plan sessions around that time. But if you prefer a different time of day, just let me know your preference, and I'll do my best to make it work for you!

Do you offer payment plans?

Absolutely! When you receive your invoice, you can choose to pay in as many installments and in any amount that suits you. If you have any questions or concerns about your payments, please feel free to contact me.

Do you offer professional hair & makeup?

I don't offer hair and makeup services because I believe in celebrating your natural beauty and helping you look like yourself! That said, I totally understand if you'd like to hire a professional for those services—it's a great option if you're interested!
