Your Questions, Answered
Booking & Payments
How do I book a session?
A 50% deposit is required to secure your session date and time. The remaining balance is due upon delivery of your gallery.
What’s the deposit for?
The deposit reserves your spot in my calendar and is applied toward your total session cost. Deposits account for the time I set aside exclusively for you.
Do you charge a rush fee for last-minute bookings?
Yes! Sessions booked with less than 72 hours’ notice incur a 25% rush fee to prioritize your project in my schedule.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards, PayPal, and Venmo.
Session Details
Where do sessions take place?
I specialize in on-location photography! Sessions within 10 miles of 78753 are included in your package. For studio sessions, I partner with local studios to provide a professional backdrop. Studio rental fees start at $75/hour and will be added to your total cost.
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens! You can reschedule once at no cost with 48 hours’ notice. Reschedules with less than 48 hours’ notice or no-shows forfeit the deposit.
What if the weather is bad?
If it’s raining cats and dogs (or hailing armadillos), we’ll reschedule at no extra charge!
Can I bring outfit changes?
Absolutely! Check your package details for the number of outfit changes included.
Deliverables
When will I get my photos?
Your gallery will be delivered within 3 weeks of your session. Need it faster? Rush editing (7-day turnaround) is available for 30% of your session fee.
Do I get to pick my favorite photos?
My curated approach ensures you receive the highest quality images that reflect my artistic vision. However:
The Curio Collection: Receive 5 fully edited images selected by me.
The Relic Select: Include a proofing gallery where you choose [X] images to edit from a selection of [X] previews.
The Folio Plus: Include a proofing gallery where you choose from 25 images to edit from a selection of no less than 100 previews.
Why don’t you give clients all the photos or RAW files?
RAW files are like unprocessed film negatives—they require professional editing tools and expertise. To protect my artistic integrity and your experience, I deliver only polished, gallery-ready JPEGs.
Can I buy extra photos after the session?
Yes! Additional edited images are available for $50/image.

Do you have a studio?
I work with local studios to provide flexible, professional spaces tailored to your needs. Studio rental fees vary and will be quoted upfront.
