What to Expect
Once you reach out, I'll send you my questionnaire to figure out your dream session details. Whether you want a playful couples session or a rustic family shoot, we can make it happen. From there I'll confirm your date, location, & details. The day of your shoot, we'll take it slow, keep it casual & fun, & most importantly, focus on capturing moments that feel like you.

How to Prepare
Pick an outfit that makes you feel like your best self, comfortable, confident, and you. Hydrate, get a good night's sleep, and don't stress. Come ready to move, laugh, and play, but I will absolutely guide you through everything while keeping it natural and fun.
not sure what vibe you want? I've got you.
Finding & Communicating Inspiration
I love helping client's brainstorm ideas & aesthetics! Please share your Pinterest-worthy inspiration with me through the questionnaire, but never hesitate to reach out & communicate your vision further.
How to make the most of your session
Day-of Tips
Come ready to have fun. The best photos usually happen when you forget the camera's even there. Feel free to bring a speaker, a friend or family member, or a prop that helps bring your session to life.
What happens next
After Your Session
I'll always have your gallery ready within a week's time. You'll receive a beautiful, personalized gallery through Pixieset, delivering high-quality, ready to print photos. I take payment through Venmo or Zelle all the way up until your gallery is delivered.
Remember, you don't have to look perfect to take perfect photos.
Final Encouragement
You just have to be yourself. I'll take care of the rest.
So... how do I actually book you?
To inquire or chat with me, fill out the short form on my contact page, email me, or message my socials. If you already have a vision for your session, go ahead & submit that google form questionnaire on my home page.
Where are you located, & do you travel for shoots?
I am based in Metro Detroit, MI, & I LOVE traveling to nearby cities, but right now I'm keeping things cozy & sticking to a 30 mile radius.
What kinds of sessions do you shoot?
I currently offer portrait-style sessions including seniors, couples, families, friends, and solo shoots. Weddings aren't on the radar just yet, but I love capturing all the smaller, in-between moments that mean the most.
What's your photography & editing style?
My style is ever-changing & adaptable. I love creating cinematic, natural photos with lots of movement. You'll get a mix of guided poses and candid prompts so everything feels effortless, real, & totally you.
I feel so awkward in front of the camera, will you help me pose?
Absolutely! Everyone says this at first, but I got you! I'll meticulously guide you through confident-looking poses as well as natural movements so you're never left wondering what to do with a limb. My goal is to make you feel comfortable & confident behind the camera so you can shine to your full potential.
How long will it take to get my photos back? How many do you deliver?
I always promise to deliver your gallery within a week, but I usually deliver in less. I assure you, I take time to make sure every image looks its best. As for how many you get back, it depends on your session type, but most galleries include 100-200 edited photos. I'm an overshooter & an overdeliverer, but I like to incorporate some artsy photos, & ultimately let my clients choose their own favorites.
I have no idea what to wear
Wear something you feel good in, confidence always photographs best. Look at Pinterest for inspiration, but what matters most is that it feels like you. I'm always down to chat about outfit inspo!
What happens if it rains or life happens?
No stress at all! Michigan weather can be so unpredictable. I'll do my best to fit you in as soon as possible.
Can I bring a friend, pet, or prop?
Yes, yes, yes! Bring whatever or whoever makes you feel comfortable & most like yourself. They always add to the fun & help you relax on camera.
