Booking info

We start with a consultation at my studio, where I show you my space, my wardrobe collection and some of my work in print. There's no obligation to book after, but if you feel I am the right photographer for you, we'll get to talking details!

Most of my sessions start at 9:00 am or 10:00 am. I shoot on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Fridays are hot number days and usually book fast!

After booking payment is confirmed, I will send you my welcome email. It's usually chalk full with so many juicy details. Beauty & Styling, Brand look books, website reviews, mood boards....just a ton of things to get us both moving towards your customized session.

Your Session Day

I help you along the way to entire session, with posing, direction and comfort. We'll talk, laugh and you'll experience being a model and actually enjoy it!

Your Reveal Session

I will schedule your reveal session about 2-3 weeks after your photo shoot (most times a lot sooner :-)). You'll review your top 25-30 images. I'll help you choose. No worries. :-)

FAQ

{Q:} The women look so comfortable in front of the camera. I am not like that, can I do this?: {A:} It's my job to make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I direct the entire shoot, posing for every body type, angles and curves, even facial expressions! I know my equipment well. I do as much as each you need. Trust. I know exactly what women will not like in photos. You don't have to know what you're doing, I will prepare your session you the whole way.
{Q:} Where will my photo session take place? Do you have a studio?: {A:} My studio is located in Fortuna. I use several sets with different back drops and I use both natural light and studio lighting. I also do on-location branding sessions, we talk about that in length before your session.
{Q:} On which days of the week can I have my photo session?: {A:} I do consultations on Mondays & Thursdays, and book sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays between the hours of 9:00 am - 2 pm.
{Q:} How far in advance should I book my session?: {A:} I recommend booking with me at least one month before needing your finished photos in hand. Fridays are the most popular booking days. Really, it's never too early to book! You photo reveal session will happen about 1-2 weeks after your session with final photos delivered upon payment.
{Q:} When and how will I select my favorite images from my shoot?: {A:} One of the most looked forward to and really my favorite part of your experience, will be the in-person photo reveal and ordering appointments a 2-3 weeks after your shoot.

I do in-person reveals for this reason- It's the best way I can help you decide between images, and creating your perfect collection. Every single image is stunning, and even though I show you, your top 25-30 photos, it could sometimes get overwhelming to go through on your own and I don't want you to ever feel that way, my service to you does not end with the photo shoot. It ends with a complete web ready collection.
{Q:} What should I wear?: {A:} I cover styling, wardrobe during consultations and my Beauty & Styling guide gives lots of ideas for outfits. A session typically has up to five outfit changes.
{Q:} Can I have someone with me at my session?: {A:} I understand that sometimes, your best friend is exactly who you need to give you reassurance during your session! I don't mind if there is one friend with you during your session, however, I do ask that your friend not interfere with the shoot, or interrupt for cell phone photos, or directing with posing.
{Q:} Do you have gift cards available?: {A:} I sure do! You can buy a gift card here.
