CANCELLATION/RESCHEDULING POLICY:

  • The deposit is non-refundable and will be applied towards the total cost of the session.

  • You can reschedule once. To do so without losing your deposit, you must notify the photographer at least 72 hours prior to the session. The new date must be within one month of the originally scheduled date.

  • In case of cancellation, no-show, or late notification about rescheduling, the client forfeits their session deposit, which will serve as a cancellation fee.

 Edited images will be delivered via an online gallery 2 weeks after the session or client selecting images. Images must be downloaded within 30 days after receiving the link.  

All unedited images from the session are not included; however, they can be purchased within one year of session date.

FAQs

Q: What do I wear?

A: This is probably the most popular question I receive, and the answer is simple: wear whatever makes you feel beautiful and comfortable. You likely already have great options in your closet, such as a bodysuit, oversized sweater, cropped shirt with high-waisted panties, a lace or mesh bra and underwear set, a robe, or jeans—the list goes on! I also have pieces and accessories from my client closet that you are welcome to choose from to enhance your session.

Q: I don’t know how to pose and am not a model. Can I still do a photoshoot like this?

A: Absolutely! My clients are not models; they’re moms, business owners, nurses, doctors, teachers, artists, corporate professionals, and more. I will guide you through poses from head to toe and specialize in flattering all body types. Every woman who walks into my studio nervous (which is completely normal!) leaves feeling beautiful and empowered after having so much fun.

Q: How far in advance should I book my session?

A: For full experiences, I recommend booking about four to six weeks in advance if you need products in hand. Typically, clients book 1 to 3 months ahead. I do maintain a waitlist for cancellations, so let me know if you’d like to be added! For Collection 1 & 2, it generally takes two weeks to receive edited digital images. If you need them sooner, I offer a rush option for $100 to receive digitals within 3 days.

Q: Can I upgrade my session once I have booked a date?

Yes! You can upgrade your session as long as it’s done before your session date. For example, if you book Collection 1 (which includes 1 outfit), we won’t be able to add additional outfits on the day of your session. Please upgrade to Collection II in advance so I can plan the timing accordingly.

Q: Do I get to keep all of the unedited digital images (raw files)

A: You can purchase all unedited raw files for $250

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

A: Yes, I do! If you're interested in a payment plan, please let me know at the time of booking.

Q: Can I add on makeup & hair to collection 1 & 2?

A: Yes! I work with talented makeup artists and can arrange this for you at my studio before your session, or you can come ready to go!

Q: Where will I be photographed?

A: Your session typically takes place at my private natural light studio in Valencia, CA. If you’d like to discuss another location, let’s chat!

Q: What days of the week do you photograph?

A: I photograph Monday through Friday, with start times at 9 AM or 10 AM only.

Q: Can I bring a guest with me?

A: Yes you can bring a female guest along!

Q: Do I have to have my photos shared on social media?

A: I take your confidentiality very seriously and only post images with your permission.

Q: Who selects final images?

A: Most clients prefer that I choose images for Collections 1 & 2, but if you’d like to select them yourself, we can arrange that. For the full experience, we’ll meet 1 to 2 weeks after your session to select images and decide on products.

Q: Do you photograph men or couples?

A: I don't photograph men or couples at this time. Thank you for understanding!

Q: Do I have to be photographed nude?

A: Absolutely not! This is your session and it's all about what you are comfortable with.

Q: Do I need to tan before my session?

A: Not at all! I actually prefer that you don’t tan, but if you feel more comfortable doing so, let me know and we can go over tips.
