FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

If you're planning a session with me, here are answers to the most common questions.
If you still need clarity, you can always reach out through the contact form.

General Information

  • I keep things simple. Right now I offer two main session types:

    Portrait Sessions — cinematic headshots, expressive close-ups, dramatic lighting, the kind of images that feel honest and intentional.

    Lifestyle Sessions — relaxed, natural moments in real environments. Think storytelling, mood, movement, personality.

    If you're not sure where your idea fits, just tell me what you're thinking — I’ll point you in the right direction.

  • Sessions start at $100.

    This is a limited-time rate while I build my portfolio and connect with people who want something different from the typical “stand here and smile” photography.

    You’re getting the same care, direction, and cinematic editing that defines my work — just at an early-booking rate while I grow.

  • I keep things simple: I currently accept Zelle or cash for all sessions.
    No apps, no extra fees — just an easy, straightforward process so we can focus on making great photos, not paperwork.

  • Anywhere from 45 to 75 minutes.
    Just enough time to get comfortable, loosen up, and capture something real without dragging it out.

  • Most of my portrait work is done indoors, where I can control the light and get that cinematic, inspired feel. That’s my comfort zone and where I do my best work.

    I also have a small home studio setup — just a simple, clean space — and you’ll probably meet my friendly husky and curious pug while we shoot. If that doesn’t scare you off, it’s a great place to create something intentional.

    If you prefer your own space, I’m happy to come to you.
    And if you’re interested in an outdoor lifestyle session, we can absolutely do that too — softer, natural light, a different mood entirely.

    If you have a location in mind, I’d love to hear it. If not, I can help guide you toward a setting that fits the vibe you want.

  • Once you’re booked, I’ll reach out with a quick confirmation and any prep notes. On the day of the session, we shoot, have fun, experiment a bit, and let the magic happen. Then I edit everything and send the final gallery straight to your inbox.

  • Wear something you genuinely feel good in — simple always wins. Solid colors photograph beautifully, and anything too loud can distract from your face and emotion. If you’re unsure, bring a couple options and we’ll pick together.

  • Absolutely! Bring whoever helps you feel comfortable. Just keep the hype-squad small so the energy stays focused and relaxed.

  • Yes — I can travel within Florida. If you’re outside of Central Florida, just reach out and we’ll figure out the details.

    If you’re outside the state of Florida, depending on the situation, we may be able to work something out!

Booking & Process

  • Just fill out the contact form and tell me a little about what you want.
    I reply personally — usually within 24 hours — and we’ll lock in a date and the plan for your shoot.

  • Most final galleries are delivered within 5–7 days, sometimes faster.
    I don’t like to sit on good photos. If something comes out great, you’ll see it soon.

  • No stress — life happens.
    Just give me 24 hours’ notice and we’ll pick another date that works.
    Same energy on my side too: clear communication, no surprises.

  • Sometimes, depending on the date and whether travel is involved.
    It’s just to secure your spot — nothing complicated. If you need to reschedule or cancel, the deposit is refundable provided there’s more than 24 hours’ notice.

Sessions & Delivery

  • Keep it simple. Wear something you feel good in, avoid loud patterns, and stay true to your style.
    After booking, I’ll send a short prep guide with easy tips to help everything run smoothly.

  • Absolutely. Most people aren’t models — and that’s the point. I guide you toward natural expression, not stiff posing.

    Think less “chin up, shoulders back,” and more:
    “Breathe… look toward the light for a second… okay, stay there.”

    My goal is to capture how you feel, not how you “pose.”

  • Not at the moment — most people prefer their natural look for the style of portraits I create. But you’re welcome to arrive camera-ready or work with your preferred artist beforehand.

  • Yes — lightly and naturally.
    I clean up distractions, enhance the mood, and make sure you look like yourself on your best day.
    No plastic skin. No weird smoothing. No artificial beauty filters.

    Just clean, honest, cinematic edits.

  • I’ll share all photos when ready, both before and after. Regardless, you’ll get the best version of yourself.

Copyright & Usage Rights

  • I keep the copyright to all images — that’s standard in photography and it simply allows me to use select photos in my portfolio, on my website, in social media, or in future creative projects (including books or exhibitions).

    You’re completely free to use your photos however you’d like — post them, print them, share them, make albums, everything. No restrictions on personal use.

    And if there’s ever a photo you’d prefer to keep private, just let me know. I’m always happy to respect that.
