yes! i have a natural light, white and bright studio in downtown alexandria. i have props like chairs, sofas, beds, stools, baskets, boxes, newborn and some children's clothing and backdrops. it is a modern and subject forward studio. i like YOU to be the focus rather than a busy and cluttered image.

(02)

both! most of the time we will do your session outdoors on location. typically newborn and baby sessions are held in my studio or in your home for a lifestyle session.

(03)

lifestyle sessions are take at your home using your yard or interiors. sometimes your living room, nursery or children's rooms, your bedroom. these are less posed and more candid. fun lifestyle photos can include backyard sprinkler play, bonfires, making cookies in the kitchen. sky is the limit. this is where you are encouraged to play and relax.

(04)

senior sessions can be 1-2 hours. i recommend 3 to 4 outfits. we will use a variety of locations to match your individual style. sometimes we do a urban look, or more country rural. we can incorporate your interests like sports or hobbies. i try very hard to make your senior session look uniquely you.

when the pregnancy test is positive. ok, just kidding. as soon as possible and when you are comfortable. i do book up, so to have the due date in my calendar helps me leave time for your session. i like to do the newborn session within 2-3 weeks after baby is born to get those sleepy shots.

(06)

sure do!
living in a vacation town we get a lot of visitors wanting to get photos while everyone is all in one place. i do the session with the whole group, then break down doing individual families, couples, and kids. most images are posed but i save the fun for the end, maybe playing yard games, bonfires, playing in the lake, whatever your family is up for.

(07)

yes! whether it is a head shot or something more involved i am down for it. maybe you need stock photos of your product or services, or your employees we can do it.

(08)

i don't include those services in my photography collections. i do have some friends in those industries i can refer you to. i do not require it, but if you feel more comfortable and confident...do it. just know for any outdoor photos, if we have to reschedule or move times around because of the weather, i will not base that decision on your hair and makeup appointment. hope you understand. weather is unpredictable.

(09)

i tell clients to be as flexible as they can on their session dates. this way if we do have to move a start time to move around inclement weather, we are not restricted. if that cannot happen we will reschedule the date or move the session to the studio if possible.

(10)

i offer three digital collections.
Collection A - 20 images
Collection B - 30 images
Collection C - 75-100 iimages

(11)

yes i do. these are on select days and time slots. i do not offer them on weekends, or for extended families or newborns. i offer them for families, children, and seniors looking for a quick session. they are 20 minute sessions, one location that i choose, one change of clothing. 10 image download.

YAY! well, we pick a date, i do sessions monday through thursday, one to two hours before sunset. newborn and studio sessions are booked during the day. session fees are required to secure your date and are non-refundable. we will be in touch close to your session date to discuss locations, start time and outfit selections.

depending on the time of the season, you can expect your proofing gallery to be up 2-4 weeks later. you will then order your collection from that gallery. i will do final edits on your ordered images. this will include skin and hair edits and distracting foreground and background things. you will get the colored version and brown + white version. when those edits are complete i will load them to a gallery which you will download to your device and print and display how you please.
