FAQ
What’s included in a session?
Each session includes your reserved shoot time, professional direction, a curated set of retouched images, and a private online gallery for image selection and delivery.
A detailed prep and wardrobe guide is emailed after booking so you arrive confident and prepared.
What should I expect during the shoot?
Sessions are structured, calm, and professionally directed — with space for you to relax into the experience.
I guide posing and movement while paying attention to angles, wardrobe, hair, light, and body line so every frame feels intentional.
You are never left wondering what to do.
Do I need to know how to pose?
No. With experience on both sides of the camera, I act as your personal pose coach.
I guide your movement so it feels natural, flattering, and aligned with your vision. Practicing beforehand can help, but it is never required.
Where can we shoot?
Locations range from natural-light studios and lofts to private residences, pool properties, office spaces, gyms, bars, and specialty environments.
If you have a specific aesthetic in mind, I regularly source unique spaces to match. I can arrange locations in Atlanta, nationally and internationally.
Some specialty locations may require short travel.
Hotel Suites & Airbnb Residences
Best for controlled natural light transitions and multi-look sessions.
One-day bookings work well for:
• Early morning light
• Late afternoon into sunset
• Spring and summer sessions extending into moody night imagery
During darker months, we can:
• Capture morning light before checkout
• Book two nights for full mid-day natural light
• Arrange late checkout when available
The goal is always to align the booking window with the light you want.
What is your retouching style?
Skin tone, texture, color balance, and body contours are carefully refined while maintaining a natural, true-to-life appearance.
Small to medium tattoos can be removed upon request. Extensive tattoo work may require an additional fee.
My goal: you look like yourself — on your very best day.
How do I book?
A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your session date.
The remaining balance is due before or on the day of your shoot, depending on session type.
For sessions involving higher-cost or specialty rental locations, the full location fee may be required at the time of booking to secure the space.
Dates are confirmed once the retainer (and any required location payment) is received.
How long are images stored?
Final galleries remain available for viewing and download for a minimum of 30 days.
Clients are responsible for downloading and securely storing their images upon delivery.
Archival storage beyond 30 days is not guaranteed. Retrieval after the gallery window may incur an archive fee.
Archival storage beyond 30 days is not guaranteed. Retrieval after the gallery window may incur an archive fee.
How long does delivery take?
Final galleries are delivered within 3–7 business days.
Travel sessions are delivered approximately one week from departure.
Retouching is completed within 2–4 weeks from the date final selections are received.
During peak travel periods or holidays, timelines may extend slightly.
If you are working with a specific deadline, please discuss it prior to booking.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
All retainers are non-refundable.
Sessions may be rescheduled once within two weeks of the original date, subject to availability in Atlanta.
Additional rescheduling requires a new retainer.
For sessions involving rental locations, all host cancellation policies apply. Location fees may be partially or fully non-refundable.
Same-day cancellations or missed sessions may require payment of the full creative fee to secure a new date.
Touring and destination sessions are non-reschedulable.
If circumstances beyond control require postponement, options will be discussed case by case.

Do you offer hair and makeup?
Hair and makeup are not included, but referrals are available upon request.
Will my images be shared?
Your privacy is respected.
Images are never shared without written permission. If you prefer full discretion, your session remains entirely private.
Occasionally, clients grant permission for select images — with or without facial visibility. This is always optional and discussed directly. Any approved images may be removed at any time upon request, no questions asked.
What if I’m nervous or shy?
Feeling nervous is completely normal — most clients do at first.
Sessions are structured, calm, and supportive. You can take breaks, ask questions, and move at a pace that feels comfortable.
If you prefer a more spacious experience, consider booking a longer session.
You don’t have to arrive confident.
You just have to arrive.
I’ll guide the rest.
