Frequently Asked Questions

It’s totally okay to be nervous if you’ve never done a photoshoot before, but trust me… you can! Guiding you through every pose and helping you feel confident and comfortable is my job, so you have nothing to worry about.

Honestly, it totally depends on the kind of session you’re having! It could be neutral and professional… or colorful and crazy! We’ll go into all the details at your creative consult and build your looks around the creative direction we choose together.

All hair and makeup is done right here in my studio. Your booking time is when we get you into the chair, and a full hour is blocked for it automatically. Depending on your looks or the artists on your session, we may add an extra 30 minutes. We’ll talk through and decide on all your looks at your creative consult before your session.

The creative consult is where we prepare everything for your session. We’ll get to know each other a little more, talk through your goals for the session, and I’ll give you a tour of the studio and walk you through how your images are delivered. We’ll also cover backdrops, lighting, posing, clothing and inspo. In a nutshell, it’s everything to help you get ready for your session!

My studio is in Clear Lake, near El Camino and Gemini. If you’d rather I come to you, I absolutely travel! Let’s connect on the details and any travel fees that may apply.

Guests are absolutely welcome! Bring your friends and family, and kids too, as long as a parent or guardian is with them. Unfortunately, pets aren’t allowed in the building, per the building’s own policy. My dog and two cats are very sad about it.

Absolutely! My sessions focus on classic and editorial portraits for creatives, professionals, models and performers, but families and couples are always welcome. Larger groups may need a few accommodations, so reach out and we’ll plan what works best for you.

No problem! You can reschedule through your confirmation email up to 48 hours before your session. There are no cancellations, only reschedules. But life happens… if something serious comes up, reach out to me directly and we’ll figure it out together.

Each session includes fully retouched images: 2 for Mini, 5 for Classic and 10 for Editorial. If you fall in love with more, additional images are $25 each and are fully retouched too. You can also purchase your full gallery at a discount, right from your online gallery. Full gallery images are fully edited, but don’t include extra retouching requests.

All of your included images are fully retouched, and so are any extra images you add on. If you purchase your full gallery, every image is fully edited, but full galleries don’t include extra retouching requests.

Your edited gallery will be ready within 3–5 business days, and most images can be downloaded right away. Any images that need extra retouching follow 1–3 business days after that. Holidays can stretch this timing a bit, and if anything’s going to take longer than expected, I’ll let you know.

Yes! Prints are available for any session. You can order them right from your online gallery, and they’re shipped directly to you.

Absolutely, for promoting yourself! Using your headshot on your website, LinkedIn, business cards or social profiles is totally okay. What isn’t included is commercial use, like ads, product packaging or selling the images. If you need your photos for something like that, reach out and we’ll talk through the details.
