What happens if the weather is bad on our session date and time?

I keep an eye on the weather in the hours leading up to our session. If it's looking bad 3 hours beforehand, I will reach out. We can either reschedule to a new date/time, or find an indoor location if you need to keep your original date and time slot. There are no fees to reschedule.
Do you have a studio?

Not at this time, but we can rent a local studio space to create your vision.
Where are you located?

I'm based in Tampa, FL, but I am happy to meet you where you are!
What’s your cancellation policy?

All sessions, weddings and events are booked with a 25% nonrefundable retainer. Commercial jobs will be handled separately per their contract agreemnts. Last-minute cancellations will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for a partial refund (i.e. medical emergencies).
What should I wear?

I recommend avoiding busy patterns (unless this is a significant part of your self-expression) and any large, prominent logos. Family portraits work best when people coordinate the same 2-3 colors. Pastels, neutrals and jewel tones typically work best. Take the weather and your comfort into consideration. I was you to feel good in what you're wearing! You're welcome to send me what you plan on wearing and I can give you feedback.
Do you allow outfit changes?

Outfit changes are always welcome. Pricing is not affected by this, just be sure to account for the time needed to change. Depending on the location, public bathrooms may not be available to change your clothes.
Are print-ready files extra?

No. All my packages include the full-resolution digital images that are print-ready. You can order prints directly from your delivered gallery page as well.
What if I want more edited images beyond what’s included in the package?

Additional edits are welcome and are $7/image.
What if I want to make prints?

You can order high-quality photo prints directly through your gallery link! Use the shop feature on the page to place an order. Pricing varies depending on the print size.

Yes! The majority of my reviews can be found on my Google Business page.
Do you require a deposit/retainer for sessions? If so how much? And when is the full balance due?
