Your day starts with a quick morning text from me with reminders and a little encouragement to get you excited. Later, we’ll meet at my home for a relaxed, 1-hour portrait makeup session—this is where we connect, go over final details, and get you feeling confident and ready.

From there, we’ll head to your preplanned locations for a 2-hour photo shoot. We’ll move at a comfortable pace with time built in for outfit changes, different backdrops, and natural posing guidance so you never feel rushed or unsure.

Totally normal—most people feel that way at first. But you don’t need to know how to pose. That’s what I’m here for. I’ll guide you through every step in a way that feels natural, not forced. Before we even start, we take time to connect so you feel relaxed and seen. During your session, I’ll show you a few shots so you can see how good you actually look—no over-editing, no heavy filters. Just great light, a little direction, and your real self.

Bring your favorite playlist—I’ll bring the speaker. We’ll keep it easy, fun, and better than you imagined.

I always build flexibility into my calendar for reschedules due to weather. If it’s raining, too windy or the light isn’t right, we’ll simply move your session to another day—no stress. Your experience matters too much to settle for “just okay” conditions.

 Yes! Professional makeup is included in your session ( about an hour—and it’s done by me. I use a lightweight, camera-friendly application that enhances your natural beauty without making you feel overdone however I can do a glam look with lashes too. I also give you pointers on how to recreate the look at home if you fall in love with it!

Please bring 3–4 outfits. I’ll guide you through choosing pieces that photograph well, match your locations, and feel like you. Variety is key, but comfort and confidence come first.

Absolutely. These photos should reflect your life and what matters most to you. Just let me know during your pre-session planning call so we can make sure there’s time and space to include what you love.

 You’ll come back for your in-person reveal and ordering appointment about 2 weeks after your shoot. This is when you’ll see your gallery and choose your favorites, and I’ll help you figure out what collection matches how you’d like to enjoy them now and years from now.

It all depends on the look you want!

• Spring (Apr–May): Soft greens, fresh blooms, and golden light—perfect for a light, airy feel.
  
• Summer (Jun–Aug): Lush fields, wildflowers, and long sunsets. Morning sessions available when it’s hot!
  
• Fall (Sept–Oct): Cozy textures, rich tones, and golden leaves. These book fast, so don’t wait!

Whatever the season, I’ll help you choose locations that fit your style and story—from dreamy fields to bold urban spots—during your planning call.
