Frequently asked questions

My approach blends thoughtful direction with a documentary eye, creating images that feel both effortlessly editorial and genuinely personal.
How do we officially reserve our date?
Once we’ve found the perfect collection for you, I’ll send over a proposal with your photography agreement and invoice. Your date is officially reserved once your signed agreement and non-refundable retainer have been received.
From there, we can begin planning all the beautiful details!
Can we customize a package?
Absolutely. Every celebration and session is unique and your photography experience should reflect that. While my collections are thoughtfully designed to cover the essentials, I'm always happy to create a custom proposal tailored. to your vision, priorities, and needs.

Engagement sessions may be included in select wedding collections or added to your experience separately.
How far in advance should we book?
For most Weddings, most couples reserve 9-12 months in advance, and peak season Saturdays go first. Portrait and Equestrian Sessions usually book 4-8 weeks out. If your date is sooner, Reach out anyway; I will always do my best to accommodate.
What happens if it rains on our session date?
A little change in weather doesn’t have to mean a change in vision! If the forecast isn’t cooperating, we’ll discuss our options, whether that means adjusting the time, exploring an alternative location, or rescheduling when possible.
My priority is creating an experience where you feel comfortable and photographs you’ll love, regardless of what the weather has planned.
