To reserve your session date, a non-refundable retainer of $100 is required. Your date is not secured until this is received. The remaining balance is due on or before your session date.

Once your inquiry is submitted and we work through all the details, I will send over a contract and invoice. After both are completed and a deposit is received, your session will be officially confirmed.

Yes, sessions can be customized to better fit your vision. Additional time, locations, or coverage can be added based on your needs. Customizations are subject to additional cost and all the full details will be discussed upon inquiry!

I do not offer customizations for less session coverage than what is available.

Yes, absolutely! If you have a location in mind, I would love to bring that vision to life. You can include any ideas in your contact form.

If you are unsure, I am happy to suggest locations that align with your style, whether that is coastal, forest, open landscapes, or something more architectural. You are also welcome to reference any past locations from my work!

Yes, I am always open to traveling for sessions!

Travel within the Sacramento area is included. For locations beyond, a travel fee may be applied depending on distance. If you have a specific place in mind, feel free to share and I can provide more details.

Yes, you are welcome to bring anything that feels meaningful to you! This can include books, flowers, or small personal details that add to your story.

Pets are also welcome, as long as the location allows it. I recommend bringing someone along to help manage them when they are not in photos.

I want you to feel confident and comfortable in whatever you choose.

I often recommend neutral tones and timeless pieces such as dresses, skirts, or soft fabrics, as they photograph beautifully and allow the focus to remain on you. Flowing materials and textures tend to work especially well with movement and light.

If you would like help deciding, you are always welcome to send options and I can guide you toward what will photograph best.

You do not need to worry about posing. I will guide you throughout the entire session so everything feels natural and comfortable!

My approach is centered around movement and subtle direction rather than completely stiff posing. I will give you prompts and small adjustments so your photos feel effortless, yet still true to you.

If you have any ideas or inspiration, I am always happy to include them!

No, I do not provide RAW images. Editing is a large part of my work and how I bring each image to life!

As the photographer, I carefully select the strongest images from your session to create a cohesive final gallery. Clients do not choose which photographs are edited or delivered, as my selection process allows me to include the images that best represent your session and my style!

Your final gallery is thoughtfully edited and curated to reflect my style.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, please submit your request in writing by email or text with at least 72 hours’ notice, even if we have already discussed it verbally.

Because the original $100 retainer reserves a specific date and committed time in my schedule, it is non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another date. Any rescheduled session will require a new $100 non-refundable retainer to secure the new date.

If inclement weather or another unforeseen circumstance affects the session, I will provide one complimentary reschedule. This means no separate rescheduling fee will be charged.

The number of final images depends on the session and package you choose.

I focus on quality over quantity, carefully selecting and editing the best images from your session. You can expect a full gallery that captures a variety of moments rather than a large set of repetitive images.

After your session, I will carefully go through and select the best images to edit!

Once your gallery is ready, you will receive an online link where you can view, download, and share your photos. The gallery is designed to be simple and easy to use, and you will have access to high-resolution images.

Portrait sessions are delivered within 2 to 5 weeks depending on the package.

Weddings are delivered within 4 to 8 weeks. Any delays due to unforeseen circumstances would be communicated.

I will stay in touch during the process, and you can expect a few sneak peeks along the way!
