Frequently Asked Questions
Will you follow a “formula” or personalize my session?
I have a set of “go to” poses and lighting setups that flatter most everyone, but this serves as a jumping-off point. We will absolutely create the photographs you want based on your priorities. If you have something you’d like to try, let’s explore it!
Do you photograph men?
Yes! While my business began as a way to serve women missing from their scrapbooks, I do know how to light and pose men, too.
How do we work together?
We start with a Discovery Call.
Let’s get together on a Zoom call… or meet for coffee… and make sure we’re a good fit to work together—that I can meet your vision for your photographs.
Pre-Session Consultation(s)
I’ll come to your home and we’ll design your session together. From what to wear to how you’d like to display your images, I’ll make sure you have preparation tips so you feel ready.
Your Custom Session
Once you’re in front of my camera, I’ll lead you through prompts and posing, ensuring you are well-lit and looking your very best. My superpower is making photo shoots relaxing and fun!
Ordering Appointment
We’ll get together one more time about a week after your session to review your proofs and I’ll help you choose only those you like best.
Photo Delivery
Once your printed products have arrived, I’ll check that they are in perfect shape and we’ll meet to deliver them to you. If it’s wall art, I’ll even install it for you.
