FAQ

The questions I get asked most, answered. If yours is not here, the contact form is the fastest way to reach me.

Booking & Pricing

How much does a session cost?

Sessions start at $250. Pricing depends on the type of shoot, so the simplest thing is to look at the packages on the page for what you have in mind: headshots, maternity, couples, or families. Each one lists what is included and how long it takes.

How do I book a session?

Start with the contact form and tell me your preferred date and the type of shoot. I follow up with a booking agreement, and a 10 percent refundable deposit secures your slot. Once that is in, I send a calendar invite so the date is locked in for both of us.

How far in advance should I book?

As far ahead as you like. I am also happy to take last minute bookings when my schedule allows, sometimes as little as two days before the date you want. If you are working to a tight timeline, just ask.

What is your reschedule or cancellation policy?

Life happens, so I stay flexible. I am glad to reschedule wherever it is feasible, including for weather on outdoor shoots. Cancellations made less than 7 days before the session are not refundable. The sooner you let me know, the easier it is to find a new slot that works.

Where are you based, and do you travel?

I am based in New York and shoot across all five boroughs at no extra charge. Anything beyond the city may involve a travel fee, so get in touch with the location in mind and I will let you know.

Before the Shoot

How long is a session?

It depends on the package. Sessions run from a 30 minute mini up to a full hour or more. The exact length for each option is listed on the relevant pricing page.

What should I wear, and how do I prepare?

Wear what makes you feel like yourself, in colours and fabrics that sit well together rather than competing for attention. For headshots, there is a full guide on what to wear. For couples sessions, the tips in How to Feel Natural in Front of the Camera are useful reading before the day.

Studio or on location?

Both are options. Headshots can be shot in a studio or out in the city, and maternity sessions can be done in a studio or in natural light. If you are not sure what suits you, tell me the feeling you are after and I will point you in the right direction.

Can I bring my kids, partner, or pets?

Yes. Family and maternity shoots are all the better for it, so bring whoever and whatever is part of your world. Just give me a heads up so I can plan for it.

Do you offer hair and makeup?

I do not offer or arrange hair and makeup. You are welcome to come camera ready in whatever way feels right for you.

After the Shoot

When will I get my photos?

Generally within five to seven business days of the shoot, and always within 14 days. Your images arrive in a private online gallery that you can view, download, and share.

How many images do I get?

It depends on the shoot type and package. Headshots start at five images for a mini session and twelve for a standard. Maternity and couples sessions deliver more: 15 images in a mini and 40 or more in a standard. The exact count for each option is on the relevant pricing page.

How are my photos delivered?

Through a private online gallery. You can download the high resolution files and share the gallery with family and friends.

What format and resolution are the files?

High-resolution JPGs, exported at full quality. They are sized for print as well as digital use, so you can order prints directly from the gallery or use them online without any extra processing.

Do you provide the raw, unedited files?

No. The edit is a big part of how the final images get their look, so I deliver finished, edited photographs rather than raw files.

Who can use the photos?

They are yours to print and share for personal use. I may feature them on my portfolio and social media, but the booking form includes an option to opt out if you would prefer I keep them private.
