What It’s Like to Work Together

Working with me is meant to feel easy and relaxed from start to finish. From our first conversation to the delivery of your final gallery, I create a calm space where you can be fully present and simply enjoy the moment. I gently guide when needed, but never force anything that doesn’t feel natural, allowing real connection and genuine emotion to unfold effortlessly in front of the camera.

FAQ

01. What should we wear to our session?

I always recommend neutral, earthy tones and outfits that feel comfortable and true to you. Soft textures, flowy fabrics, and coordinating (rather than matching) colors photograph beautifully and help keep the focus on your connection. I’m happy to offer guidance if you’re unsure.

 

02.We’re awkward in front of the camera — can you help?

 

Absolutely. Most of my clients say this at first. I gently guide you with natural prompts and movement so nothing feels stiff or forced. Before long, you’ll forget the camera is even there and simply enjoy the moment together.

 

03. How long does it take to receive our photos?

 

Your images are carefully edited and delivered in a private online gallery. Portraits and engagements are typically delivered within 2–3 weeks, while weddings are delivered within 4–6 weeks. During peak season, wedding galleries may take up to 8–10 weeks to ensure each image receives the attention it deserves.

 

04. Do you travel for sessions and weddings?

 

Yes! Travel within a set distance is included, and I’m always happy to explore beautiful locations with you. Sessions or weddings outside this area may require a small travel fee.
