Your Story, Beautifully Told With Photography
While women’s portraiture is at the heart of my work, I offer a range of personalized sessions for families, business teams, seniors, and more. Let's chat about what you'd like to see from my camera.

Frequently Asked Questions
Payment Terms
Portrait photography starts with a retainer, which secures your session date and time, due at the time of booking. In most cases, this fee is non-refundable and serves to protect from last-minute, non-emergency cancellations.
Payments can be made via cash, check, credit card, debit card, PayPal, Venmo, or similar digital methods.
To make product packages more accessible, I do offer payment plans. I’m willing to split payments over a few months (e.g., three equal payments) with interest-free financing.
Delivery of final products—such as high-resolution digital files, prints, or albums—will be held until full payment has been received. This ensures my business is protected from non-payment after services have been rendered.
What's included?
Signature Portrait Sessions generally include $500 image credit - enough for your favorite two images, while Simple Portrait Sessions include a $300 credit. Family and Group sessions include one image per person and one group photo, which can be shared.
These images are available both as a print (up to 8x10) and as a full-resolution digital file.
Every product purchase (from gift prints to albums) includes the corresponding digital file.
