Everything you need to know about booking your photography session with me. From pricing and packages to what to expect on shoot day – I've got you covered!
Let's make some magic happen! Here's everything you need to know to book your session with me.
Booking is easy! Simply contact me through the form on this page. We'll chat about your vision, select the perfect package, and find a date that works for both of us. I require a 50% deposit to secure your session date.
I keep my calendar pretty full during peak seasons (spring sports, graduation time), so I recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. But don't worry – I always try to accommodate last-minute requests when possible!
I'll get back to you within 24 hours (usually much faster!). We'll discuss your vision, I'll send you a detailed style guide, and we'll lock in your session details.
You'll receive a contract and invoice, and once your deposit is paid, you're all set! I'll also send location suggestions and timeline details as we get closer to your session date.
During peak seasons (spring sports, graduation, fall seniors), I recommend booking 3-4 weeks out. Off-season? I can usually fit you in within a week or two. The earlier the better to lock in your preferred date!
Absolutely! We can chat over FaceTime, Zoom, or a good old-fashioned phone call. I love connecting face-to-face when possible, but I'm flexible — whatever works best for your schedule!
Honest pricing that makes beautiful photography accessible for every family.
I offer Bronze, Silver, and Gold packages for each service. Sports action starts at $100, senior portraits at $175, and family sessions at $125. Each package includes different session lengths, photo counts, and extras like video highlights in the Gold tier.
My philosophy is simple: great photography should be accessible. I've structured my pricing so families can choose what fits their budget while still getting beautiful, professional photos they'll treasure forever. Check out my complete pricing on the Services page.
Yes! Your 50% deposit secures your date, and the remaining balance is due before your session. For Gold packages, I'm happy to work out a payment schedule that fits your budget — just ask!
Every package includes professional editing, high-resolution digital files, a private online gallery, and a personal usage license. No hidden extras needed — what you see is what you get!
Nope! What you see on my pricing page is what you pay. The only additional costs would be printed photos (starting at just $25) or travel beyond 30 miles from Delaware.
Spoiler alert: we're going to have so much fun together!
Session lengths vary by package. Bronze packages are typically 1 hour, Silver packages are 2 hours, and Gold packages are 2+ hours with additional perks like video highlights.
Here's the thing though – I always allow extra time because great photos can't be rushed! If we're getting amazing shots or your teen is finally relaxing and having fun, I'm not going to cut things short because the clock says we're done.
I provide a detailed style guide after booking! Generally, coordinated colors work better than exact matches. Avoid busy patterns and neon colors that can be distracting. For sports, definitely wear your uniform or team gear – that's the whole point!
For seniors, bring 2-3 outfit changes that reflect your personality. Think about what makes you feel confident and comfortable. For families, I recommend building around one person's outfit (usually mom!) and coordinating from there.
Absolutely! Most people feel camera-shy at first, and that's totally normal. I'll guide you through natural poses and interactions that showcase your genuine personality. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident so your true self shines through.
I'm chatty and will keep you laughing and relaxed. By the end of our session, most people tell me they actually had fun – which is exactly what I'm going for!
YES! Please bring your fur baby! Some of my favorite shots have been with family dogs (and even a couple of cats). Pets are part of the family, and I love including them. Just give me a heads up so I can plan some pet-friendly poses!
I sure do! I regularly shoot in Columbus, Powell, Westerville, and all around central Ohio. Travel within 30 miles of Delaware is included in all packages. Beyond that, I charge a small travel fee — reach out and we'll figure it out!
Ohio weather can be unpredictable! If conditions are unsafe (storms, heavy rain), we'll reschedule at no charge. Light rain or overcast skies often create beautiful, soft lighting – so don't worry if it's not perfectly sunny!
I always have backup indoor locations around Delaware and come prepared with umbrellas if needed. We'll make it work, and I promise your photos will still be amazing.
The best part! Here's when and how you'll receive your gorgeous memories.
You'll receive 10-30 professionally edited digital photos depending on your package. Bronze includes 10 photos, Silver includes 20, and Gold includes 30 plus bonus video content. All images are high-resolution and perfect for printing or sharing.
I hand-select the best shots that tell your story beautifully. Quality over quantity is my motto – I'd rather give you 20 amazing photos than 50 mediocre ones!
I deliver your beautiful photos within 1-2 weeks via a private online gallery. During busy seasons (graduation time, sports championships), it may take up to 3 weeks, but I always keep you posted on the timeline.
You'll receive an email with your gallery link and download instructions. The gallery stays active for 6 months, so you have plenty of time to download and share your favorites.
You bet! I usually share 3-5 sneak peek photos on social media within 48 hours of your session (with your permission, of course!). Consider this a little preview to tide you over!
100% yes! All packages include a personal usage license — print at Walgreens, order canvas wraps, make holiday cards. No size restrictions, no watermarks, no hassle.
I'm working on adding professional print products! For now, your high-resolution digital files are perfect for printing anywhere. I'm happy to recommend great print labs for gallery-quality results.
The practical stuff we need to cover – don't worry, I keep it simple!
Life happens! If you need to reschedule, just give me 48 hours notice and we'll find a new date that works. Weather-related cancellations are always free – that's completely out of our control.
If you need to cancel entirely, your deposit can be applied to a future session within one year. I'm a mom too, so I understand when life gets crazy!
You receive full personal usage rights to your photos! Print them, share them on social media, make holiday cards, send them to grandparents – they're yours to enjoy however you want.
I retain copyright for my portfolio and marketing (with your permission, of course). If you need photos for professional commercial use, we can work out a separate license agreement, but for personal use, you're all set!
I'd love to feature your photos, but only with your explicit permission! During booking, we'll discuss your comfort level. If you prefer privacy, I completely respect that — no questions asked.
Yes! I carry full liability insurance for every session. Whether we're shooting at a park, sports field, or private location, you're covered.
I'm here to help! Every session is unique, and I love chatting about your specific vision and needs. Don't hesitate to reach out – I promise to get back to you within 24 hours.
