Frequently Asked Questions
I'm So Glad You're Here
Planning a photo session can come with plenty of questions. I want the entire process to feel easy and stress-free. If you don't see your question answered below, please reach out.
How do I book a photo session with you?
Choose the session that best fits your needs, select an available date, and complete the booking form. Your session is officially reserved once the agreement is signed and the retainer is paid.
When is the session fee due?
A nonrefundable retainer is required at booking to reserve your date. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of your session and may be paid by cash or Venmo.
What payment methods do you accept?
The booking retainer is paid through Venmo. The remaining balance may be paid by cash or Venmo the day of your session.
Can I customize a package?
Possibly. Tell me what you have in mind, and I'll let you know whether an existing package or custom option would work best.
Do you travel for sessions?
Yes. I primarily serve Stillwater, Benton, Bloomsburg, and surrounding areas of Central Pennsylvania. I'm also open to traveling farther depending on the location and session. Please include your preferred location when you inquire so I can confirm availability and let you know whether a travel fee applies.
Do you offer payment plans?
Payment arrangements may be available for select sessions when planned in advance. Please contact me before booking to discuss the available options.

What happens if it rains on the day of my session?
I'll watch the forecast closely. If the weather is unsafe or unsuitable for the look we planned, we'll reschedule for the next available date.
How will I know if we need to reschedule?
I'll contact you as soon as possible if the forecast suggests we should move the session. Because weather can change quickly, the final decision may sometimes be made on the day of the session.
Can we reschedule for any reason?
I understand that unexpected situations happen. Please contact me as soon as possible if you need to reschedule. Your agreement will explain any limits, fees, or conditions that apply.
How far in advance should we reschedule?
Please give as much notice as possible. At least 48 hours is preferred unless there is an illness, emergency, or sudden weather concern.

Preparing for
your Session
What should we wear?
Choose clothing that feels comfortable and reflects your personality. Coordinating colors and textures usually photograph better than matching outfits exactly. Avoid large logos, neon colors, and very busy patterns.
What should I bring to my session?
Bring any outfit changes, comfortable shoes, water, touch-up items, and meaningful props we discussed. For children, snacks, wipes, and a favorite comfort item can be helpful.
How should I prepare my kids for the session?
Make sure they are rested and fed, and avoid putting too much pressure on them to perform. Let them know we'll be playing, moving, and having fun rather than expecting perfect smiles the entire time.
Can you help with posing?
Absolutely. I'll guide you with natural prompts, flattering positioning, and movement throughout the session. You won't be expected to know what to do in front of the camera.
When will I receive my gallery?
Your edited online gallery will usually be delivered within two to three weeks after your session. Specialty or high-volume sessions may take slightly longer.
How will I receive my photos?
You'll receive an email containing a link to your private online gallery. From there, you can view, download, and share your final images.
Can I print my photos?
Yes. Your gallery will include high-resolution digital images and a personal print release, so you may order prints from the lab of your choice, such as Shutterfly.
Do you offer albums or other products?
Albums and additional products are not currently included, but you're welcome to print and create keepsakes using the high-resolution images from your gallery.
