The Process

 

01.
explore portfolio


Before booking a session, take a few moments to browse through my portfolio. This is the best way to get a feel for my style—how I use light, capture connection, and tell stories through my lens. Every photographer sees the world a little differently, and making sure my work resonates with you is an important first step in creating something meaningful together.

 

 

02.
CONtact me


When you're ready, reach out through the Contact section on my website. Once I receive your message, we’ll connect to talk through your vision, ask any initial questions, and find a date and time that works best for your session. This is where we begin shaping your experience—from choosing the right season and setting to making sure we’re aligned on the overall feel you’re hoping for.

 

 

03.
CONTRACT + RETAINER


After we agreed on session date and time, I will send a contract and an Invoice. Read carefully and sign the contract and pay the 25% non-refundable retainer within 24 hours. The retainer is required to reserve your session date. Once the retainer is paid, you will receive a session confirmation via email.

 

 

04.
QUESTIONNAIRE+OUTFIT


Once your session is officially booked, I’ll send over a brief questionnaire to get to know you better and your vision for your portrait session. I’m also happy to offer outfit guidance at this stage to help you feel confident and coordinated in front of the camera.

 

 

05.
FINAL PAYMENT


The remaining balance for your session is due no later than 48 hours before your scheduled date. This ensures everything is confirmed and ready to go, allowing us to focus fully on creating beautiful images together.

 

 

06.
session day!


Please plan to arrive at your session location on time. Be sure to factor in extra time for traffic, parking, and walking to our meeting spot so we can start your session relaxed and ready to make the most of our time together.

 

 

07.
GALLERY DELIVERY


After your session, you'll receive a Proof Gallery with a curated selection of images. From there, you’ll be able to choose your favorites for final editing. Once your selections are in, your finished gallery will be delivered within 4 weeks—beautifully edited and ready to be enjoyed and shared.
