FAQ

 

We feel awkward in front of a camera, can you help?

Feeling awkward in front of a camera is somewhat of a universal experience. Even I feel awkward in front of a camera! But the key to incredible photos is finding a photographer who makes you feel comfortable and beautiful during your session. It's all about the experience. With me, you can be confident that your session will be a relaxed experience with gentle guidance along the way to create beautiful memories you'll treasure.

How many pictures will we receive?

Whether you book a mini session, an hour session, or a wedding package, every session includes a full gallery of the best moments from our time together. There is no gatekeeping here! Rather than limiting the number of photos you'll receive, I believe in delivering a complete story!

What should we wear for our session?

As with every session, you should wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable! When you book with me, I'll also include styling tips and suggestions to create a cohesive look across your gallery without everyone matching. My editing style pairs beautifully with soft neutrals, earthy tones, pastels, and whites; all choices that will help keep the focus on your connection and not your outfits!

Where are you located and do you travel?

I was born and raised in Matthews, North Carolina, and I serve the greater Charlotte area, photographing families, couples, maternity, weddings, and engagements! I'm a frequent visitor of the Waxhaw, Weddington, Mint Hill, and Ballantyne areas, but if you have another location in mind, I'm all ears! If a location requires extensive travel, I charge a travel fee to cover my time and expenses.

How far in advance should we book?

I recommend reaching out as soon as you've decided you'd like to work together. Portrait sessions are often booked a few weeks in advance, and the sooner you reach out, the greater the chance that I'll be available for your date! I also realize that life happens, and sometimes engagements and weddings/elopments are spontaneously planned. For any last minute bookings, don't hesitate to reach out!
