I am not a model and have never done this. Is that a problem?
Over the years and hundreds of sessions, I have photographed people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. No one comes in knowing how to pose, and everyone leaves with amazing pictures! You’ve hired me to make you look and feel the best you ever have, and I guarantee you'll leave with a newfound confidence. Your only job: have fun and relax. I only ask that place your confidence in me. With amazing posing, lighting, and direction, you will love your portraits.

I have problem areas, do you photoshop?
Yes! Photoshop can reduce or completely remove most common issues. I do less editing than many photographers because I believe in showing the real you. I have never been a fan of pictures that make people look like plastic dolls. After hundreds of shoots I've mastered the lighting and posing that is used to flatter your specific body type, no matter your curves or age. Photoshop can then be used to perfect the images.
-
Will my photos be on the internet?
Not unless you say it’s okay! Every client I feature on my website has given me written permission to post her images. Privacy is very important to me. If you decide you don’t want them shared, that is completely fine. If you want to give permission, I’d LOVE to share them so future clients can get an idea of what the experience looks and feels like.
-
Do you offer hair / makeup service?
Absolutely! Having your hair and makeup done is an integral part of your experience. In house hair and makeup can be scheduled for the full experience. Sit back and chat with us a bit before your shoot.

I'm not sure what I want to order yet, can I decide when I see my photos?
Yes! After your shoot you will come back to the studio to view your images and discuss product options. Once you decide on what you'd like to order (fine art album, luxury metallic wall print, etc), it takes about two to four weeks for them to arrive.
