FAQ's
is hair and makeup included in the session fee?
Hair and makeup is not included in the package at this time. I do provide assistance with selecting a professional hair and makeup artist. I put you in contact with a team of professionals I work with regularly that you can reach out to directly to get info on their pricing & availability. Hair and makeup can be done in my private studio, most HMUA's on my referral list do travel to me for your convenience.
are albums + prints included in the package?
Albums and prints are not included in the package. You receive all of the fully edited digital images in a private, online gallery - from there you select the images you want printed.
There are HUNDREDS of album examples in my instagram story highlights. Go check it out!
Pricing varies depending on how many images you select for your album.
How far in advance should I book my session?
I recommend scheduling 2-3 months before you need your photos back. If your wedding is in October, I'd recommend scheduling for August. Please mention the deadline you would need an album back by when you inquire. I currently book up to 6 months out.
Do you provide the lingerie/client closet?
Clients who book the Goddess Package get access to the lingerie in my client closet. If you're interested in purchasing the Babe Package but want access to the client closet, it can be added for an additional cost. Please reach out to me to customize a package that fits your needs.
Where will my session take place?
Your session will take place in my private natural light studio in Mesa, Arizona. We are located 12 minutes from Sky Harbor Airport.
Do you allow payment plans?
I allow very flexible payment plans for your convenience. There is still a 50% retainer due to book your spot, but then for the remaining balance - you can choose the amount to pay, on whatever schedule works best for you.
Wanna pay off $75.49 every other Tuesday? You got it.
do you edit/retouch your photos?
Each photo you get back from me is edited. My editing policy is that I remove "today's problems" such as bruises, scratches, and acne - but I do NOT remove anything that is permanently part of you, such as stretch marks, birth marks, and scars. They tell your story and will be with you forever, and I believe they should be documented that way! Your skin is slightly brushed over during my editing process, but I do not do any heavy retouching or body altering.
when will i receive my photos? (turn-around time)
my turnaround time for your digital photos is typically 6 weeks. albums + prints can be an additional 2 weeks, but can be expedited if needed sooner.
can i bring someone with me to my shoot?
While it might sound like fun, I typically recommend that you come alone. I PROMISE I will hype you up just as good as your bestie would. It can be awkward and distracting to bring someone along, so to be sure we get the best outcome for your photos, please come alone!
I don't want my photos posted... is that okay?
Absolutely okay. When you book a session with me, it is 100% optional to allow me to share your images. I have different privacy levels you can choose from on my contract (full release, anonymous release, or private) and you can change your mind at any time. As much as I would LOVE to share your images, I value your privacy. Your session is about YOU, not about me.
How do I book a session with you?
Reach out to get the process started! From there, we will schedule a complimentary phone consultation where we discuss potential dates, outfits, read over my contract, go over your questions - and then when you're ready, you will pay the 50% retainer that is required to book a date.
Can you rush my photos faster than turnaround time?
No. I do not allow rushed photos under any circumstance. Some photographers accept "rush fees" to get your photos returned back faster, but I don't, to be fair to all clients. I stick to my listed turnaround time.
