When inquiring about any of my sessions, I want you to know I'm all about connections - I enjoy the candid, raw approach for my clients, and I make sure you feel comfortable and confident. Now, let's get started and have you inquire!

Once I receive your inquiry, you'll hear from me within 24-48 hours to schedule a meet & greet. During our consultation which is done via FaceTime or in person we'll go over your vision for the session. Topics I love to cover during our meet and greet (because this is very important to me as I get to know you and I aim to give my clients the best experience possible) including your vision is first and foremost if you have a desired location if not I share my top 5 places that make for the prettiest photo backdrops that are best suited for a coastal or rustic session. I explain best time of day to book your slot aka golden hour and why you want to do photos at this time. We go over wardrobe and what colors will pop in your location and how to best coordinate and style your family or samples of a senior sesh wardrobe if your a graduating senior client. We discuss client closet and the pieces available to clients that book a 60 min session, and desired date - the whole vibe. We'll also discuss my process and review past galleries to set the tone and expectations.

I offer three types of sessions for my clients: a 30-minute weekday session, or a Monday - Sunday 60 - 90 minute session
Each collection has its glowing perks, but I'll help make sure we pick the right one tailored for you and your specific needs.

FAQs
How Long Until My Gallery is Delivered?
If you have a 60-90 minute session your gallery takes between 2-3 weeks for delivery as each image is hand edited and I go in order of client booked. I always ask for 14 business days after the date of the session I do try to deliver before scheduled delivery due date. If we do a 30 min session during holiday or mini specials it’s 5-7 business days and 15-20 min minis have a 3-5 business day turnaround. There is a rush fee of $250 for clients needing their session bumped up from original delivery date. After fee is paid there is a 3 business day turnaround for full gallery deliveries. Please note to add an additional day of delivery if session is booked around a holiday.
Do You Offer Wardrobe Styling?
Yes, I can definitely help and coordinate outfits for you and your family. For families, my rule of thumb is to always start with mom first, as they're the center of the family. Once we have her outfit picked out, we'll coordinate everyone else to match the aesthetic. If you’re a senior we discuss your style and how you want these photos to go with your vibe and aesthetic. My rule of thumb for seniors who want several outfit changes I also say pick out one casual outfit, one that you’d wear on a night out with friends, and one super dress up option. I also love sending over mood board of inspo of outfits that can help with tying in final look. All clients also have the option of shopping in my client closet to pick out an outfit for their upcoming session.
What Time of the Day is Our Session?
I specialize in golden hour for my clients, which typically happens an hour to an hour and a half before sunset or sunrise. Personally, I always suggest we aim for the morning when it’s very popular locations because one the glow the sun creates is like no other, especially by the coast when wanting the sun behind you over the water, and two it tends to give the feel and look like the place is all yours because 9 times out of 10 it will be pretty much empty. Not everyone is early bird risers and Sunrise is not for them and I totally get that so no worries I got you because those golden hour hues also happen during afternoon soft light. If you love the look of my photos then we always meet depending on type of session booked up to an hour to hour and a half before sunset time does change throughout the year depending on daylight savings time.
How Far in Advance Should I Book You?
For fall and spring sessions, I recommend 6-months to a year. For seniors, I recommend it as early as your junior year.
Weekends: tend to go first - reach out ASAP.
Weekdays: 1-3 months is suggested.
subject to change during my busy season*
Can I Have The Raws (Unedited) Too?
No, I do not give out raws; just as you would not ask the chef of a restaurant for the recipe, the same goes for us photographers. Raws are accessed by photo editing software; it is not a JPEG file everyone can view. So please do not ask this thank you.
Do You Offer Prints with your Packages?
I sure do offer printing services and even suggest clients to print their favs in an album too. The best part your gallery also comes with recommendations on a couple of printing houses that are fantastic offering you to print your beautiful heirloom photos in various sizes and finishes that are attached to your delivered gallery. And more importantly those printers are calibrated to the colors of my photos so that what you see on screen is exactly what you’re getting printed back. I also offer printing services and will gladly have them sent out to be printed.
Do You Travel for Sessions?
Yes, I love to travel and I consider myself a traveling destination photographer going all over to document my beautiful client’s memories and but there is a travel fee to destinations greater than 30 miles from zip code 34945 and if in Houston zip codes that are greater than 10 miles from zip code 77092. However, I do travel all over Florida for sessions from 30a to as far south as the Florida Keys to also the west coast of Florida such as Naples for example. And in Texas I go as far as north west as Fredericksburg to as north as Dallas and as south east as Galveston. I live in beautiful south Florida where our coasts produce the dreamiest sunrises and sunsets and a beautiful backdrop to your memory of your session with your favorite humans or just of you. You can never go wrong with a coastal session. So for those visiting the beautiful state of Florida I got you. Reach out I’d love to hear your about you or your family story and get you photos that will represent you in this season of life.
Do You Do Weddings?
Yes, although I focus mainly on graduating seniors and family lifestyle sessions, I take a select amount of weddings a year. If you want me to document your love story, please reach out.
