The First Impression

I highly recommend taking the time to review everything on my website. You can view my past work, the packages I offer, my availability, my reviews, and learn more about me. This will help you decide if I am the right fit for you or if I offer what you are looking for!

ii

Get in Touch

After reviewing my website, the next step would be to fill out my contact form on the ‘Get in Touch’ page of my site. This will help me get to know you and what you are looking for. This will also begin the booking process and I can answer any questions you still have.

iii

Let’s Plan

When reaching out, I will get back to you within 48 hours. If you are just ready to book, I will provide you with my phone consultation schedule so we can get that booked and start the planning process. During the call, we will plan out all of the details for your session (location, date, outfits, session package, etc.) and I go over the entire process in depth. These calls take away so much stress so I promise they are worth it. If you are still unsure about booking, I will get back to you with all the answers to your questions.

the experience

A photoshoot shoot is just so much more than taking pictures.. it is an experience. I try my best to provide each and every one of my clients with an experience that they can walk away from and think, wow, that was so fun! The connection you make with your photographer is so important and can really make such a difference with how you felt in front of the camera or even the outcome of your photos. Below is just a few ways that I try to go above and beyond to make sure you feel like your best self in front of the camera and got the most out of your experience when working with me.

  • Communication: The most common comment that I get from past clients is how helpful the initial phone consultation is. This is the first step in the booking process with me where we go over my packages, locations, outfits, my process before and after your session, questions you have, and any details/requests that you may have for your photoshoot. Not a lot of photographer’s offer this and I think it helps take so much stress away as I may mention things you may have never thought of and it is so much easier than emailing back and forth to plan everything. I also keep in touch with you as you are planning your outfits and we even have a style meeting via zoom or just through an email exchange (the client’s choice). I am here for you throughout this entire process as I do not ever want you stressing about anything pre-session time.

  • Styling: During your consultation I give you general styling tips, but I also go over my personal styling guide/color recommendations and send over a personal style guide to you after our call. Outfits can be the most stressful part of the planning as they really can make or break your session and sometimes it is just hard to know what photographs well and what works best with the vision we plan. We have a style check-in before your session and this is where I can help give you suggestions to make changes if needed to make sure everything fits with the location of choice and to put your mind at ease about your final choices. I am also always available if you are out shopping and want to send me photos for my opinion! I love to help as much as I can as I love fashion and it just gets me even more excited for your session when I see the final looks come together!

  • Posing: Ahhh posing… the part everyone fears about their session… thinking about what you are going to do in front of the camera and where you are gonna put your hands and all these worries that pop in your head… ignore them! I got you! I never just throw you in front of the camera without complete direction and demonstration of what you will be doing. I act out the motions of how to get the final pose I am looking for in a shot and I redirect you while I am taking the photo. Sometimes we have to redo it a few times until we get it and that is okay! We redo it until we get it how we want it and move on, no worries about it! I understand how scary it can feel in front of the camera, but I am here to help that fear disappear… totally did not mean to rhyme..

These are just a few ways clients have said their experience really stood out. I truly care about each and every client that books me as this is my passion. I live for getting behind the camera and I really hope that shows when you work with me. Ready to look through what packages I offer?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Senior photos are meant to take place the summer before your senior year or the fall/winter during your senior year. For example, if you are wrapping up your junior year and you would like a summer session, you would book your summer session with me in February or after the semester ends. I do have clients wait to book with me until they graduate to get their photos done as well. Those clients tend to be the ones who do not plan on using those photos for graduation parties so they are in no rush. If you do plan on using your photos for a grad party or a certain occasion, you would want to keep this in mind when booking your session and consider booking before your senior year (I do also have expedited editing ad ons if needed so I wouldn’t stress if you missed your window).

  • I would book your session at least one month in advance at the latest. I suggest 1 to 2 months in advance, but as long as you reach out to book your session one month before the date you are eyeing, typically, you will be okay. Just know, it is never too early to get your session date booked and to start planning the details.

  • The gold package tends to be my most popular package amongst my clientele. It offers up to 3 outfits and offers more location variety. I have been told that this package offers the perfect amount of photos and photo options as well.

  • Yes, I am completely fine with parents taking photos (using their phone) of their child getting their pictures taken. I just ask that they try to make it behind the scenes photos and not just a photo of you how I posed you (so I would be in the image as I am taking your photos). I love behind the scenes photos so feel free to send those to me so I can share them on my social media accounts!

  • Of course! A friend or A loved one is welcome to tag along on the shoot! I typically recommend it to make you feel a little more at ease. If you are unable to bring someone, my assistant will have a bag to hold things for you as we are shooting. I do ask that you only bring along one other person as it can be distracting for the client and cause some difficulty in making sure things are running on time. Some locations also do ask that we do not bring more than 1 extra guest along.

  • If your session is showing a possibility of bad weather, I will reach out at least 3 days before your session to give a warning that your session is at risk for reschedule and then I will reach out to you the day before you session to talk over your options. I prefer to wait until the morning of to decide if we need to reschedule as the weather is constantly changing, but if you have hair/makeup appointments booked, I allow a reschedule a day in advance.

  • Unfortunately, I do not offer splitting sessions. For example, if you are wanting photos during one season, as well as another. You would be booking 2 separate sessions.

  • Yes, I understand that having 2 seniors at once can be a bit stressful on your wallets. Do not worry, I have packages for you to take away some of that stress. Reach out to me personally about the details on these sessions.

  • Depending on your request, I do travel! For example, if you are graduating from Purdue University in Lafayette you can have a session there on campus! If you are requesting a shoot that requires travel, it would be the largest package for that session type + a travel fee ($1 per mileage driven after an hour + other fees may apply). I would provide you the details once we talk over your request!

    Mini session packages, backdrop sessions, headshots, & family sessions do not qualify.
