FAQ
Can I make payments toward my session or wedding?
Yes! Payment plans are available for most sessions and wedding collections. I know photography is an investment, and I’m always happy to work with clients to create a plan that feels manageable whenever possible
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
You do not need to know how to pose perfectly or have experience in front of the camera to have beautiful photos. My approach is relaxed and movement-focused, and I’ll gently guide you throughout the session so nothing ever feels stiff or overly posed.
The most important thing you can do is simply show up as yourselves. Wear something you feel confident and comfortable in, trust the process, and focus on each other rather than the camera. The best moments usually happen in the in-between — the laughter, movement, quiet moments, and genuine connection that naturally unfolds during your session.
What should I wear?
Wear something that feels comfortable, confident, and true to you. Neutral, earthy, muted, or solid tones tend to photograph beautifully and help keep the focus on your connection rather than distracting patterns or logos.
I always recommend coordinating outfits instead of perfectly matching, and adding layers or texture through things like sweaters, linen, denim, dresses with movement, boots, or accessories can add beautiful depth to your photos. Most importantly, wear something you feel good in — confidence always photographs best. If you’re stuck between outfit options, feel free to send them my way and I’ll happily help with styling guidance!
I also offer a growing client closet with select pieces available for sessions, including dresses and styling pieces that photograph beautifully. Feel free to ask about available options while planning your session!
How many pictures will I receive?
For regular portrait sessions, couples sessions, maternity sessions, and family sessions, you can expect a minimum of 25 hand-edited images delivered through an online gallery. My goal is always quality over overwhelming quantity while still fully documenting your session in a meaningful way.
For weddings and elopements, I do not place a strict cap on the number of images delivered. You’ll receive all usable images that best tell the full story of your day — from the big emotional moments to the quiet in-between details you may have missed in real time.
Do you do couples photography?
Absolutely! Couples photography is one of my favorite things to document. Whether you’re newly engaged, celebrating an anniversary, planning a surprise proposal, or simply wanting photos that capture your relationship as it exists right now, my goal is to create imagery that feels natural, emotional, and true to the two of you.
My sessions are relaxed and movement-focused with a mix of candid moments and gentle guidance so you never have to worry about “posing perfectly.” I’m here to document your connection in a way that feels genuine, effortless, and timeless.
Do you have a question?
Absolutely! If you don’t see your question answered here, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out through my contact form, email, or social media, and I’ll be happy to help. No question is too small—I’m here to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible.
What happens if it rains?
Some of the most beautiful and emotional photos can happen in less-than-perfect weather! However, if weather conditions become unsafe or would negatively impact your session, we’ll work together to reschedule or adjust plans as needed.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I understand photography is an investment, and I’m happy to offer payment plans for many sessions and wedding collections when possible.
Do you photograph LGBTQ+ couples and families?
Absolutely. Love, connection, and storytelling are for everyone, and all couples and families are welcome here. 🤍
Do you offer destination weddings and elopements?
Yes! I absolutely love traveling for weddings and elopements and am always open to documenting love stories in meaningful places both in and outside of Virginia.
Do you help with posing?
Absolutely. My approach is relaxed and movement-focused, and I’ll gently guide you throughout your session or wedding day so nothing feels stiff or awkward. I focus on creating natural interaction and genuine moments rather than overly posed images.
Do you travel for sessions and weddings?
Absolutely! I’m based in Central Virginia, but I love traveling for weddings, elopements, and sessions. Whether it’s the mountains, the coast, a cozy hometown location, or a destination adventure, I’m always open to documenting your story in meaningful places. Travel fees may apply depending on location and distance.
Do you offer a client closet?
Yes! I offer a growing client closet with select pieces available for sessions, including dresses and styling pieces that photograph beautifully. Feel free to ask about available options while planning your session.
Do you offer film photography?
Absolutely! Film photography can be added onto most sessions for an additional cost. I primarily shoot 35mm film and love incorporating it alongside digital images to create a nostalgic, timeless feel with soft imperfections and beautiful tones unique to film.
It comes included in all wedding packages.
Do you work with second shooters?
Yes, depending on the size, timeline, or location of your wedding day, I may recommend or require a second shooter to ensure additional coverage and a smoother overall experience. This is especially helpful for larger weddings, multiple locations, or timelines with limited flexibility.
How far in advance should we book?
For weddings and elopements, I recommend reaching out as early as possible to secure your date. Regular sessions typically book anywhere from a few weeks to a few months in advance depending on the season. Fall dates especially tend to fill quickly.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept a variety of payment methods including debit/credit cards, invoicing through Pixieset, and select digital payment options when needed. Payment plans are also available for most sessions and wedding collections to help make the investment feel a little more manageable.
Will you help us choose a location for our session?
Of course! I know choosing a location can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. From mountain overlooks and open fields to downtown streets and hidden gems, I’ll help you find a location that matches your vision, style, and personality. If you already have a place in mind, that’s great too! Together, we’ll create the perfect backdrop for your session.
