FAQ
Can I extend the session on the day of?
Absolutely! I want you to receive the best possible client experience, so whether you would love to capture more photos at a secondary location, or you're simply enjoying the photo session too much to cut it short, I am here to accommodate your wishes! Please feel free to reach out on the day of the session regarding specific details and any applicable price adjustments.
What should I wear?
If you're feeling overwhelmed about what to wear, never fear! My three things to keep in mind when planning outfit (s) are:
Dress for the location- during the months with unpredictable weather, wear layers! Pair a cute top with a cozy sweater or jacket to add interest (and much-needed warmth) to your photos. Be mindful of which shoes you'll be able to move freely in. Sandals or going barefoot for the beach, boots for a chilly day in the city, etc.
Dress for your authentic style: if your signature style includes mom jeans and a cozy sweater, or if you enjoy dressing up for photos, own your style and be confident. I always suggest neutrals and clothing with interesting details on them, like lace, bows, or fringe. These will infuse your photos with personality!
When in doubt, keep it classic:
Perhaps trendy styles aren't your ideal choice for engagement photos that you will be looking back on for the rest of your life. Luckily, the classic shapes and styles never go out of fashion, and they'll make for some truly stunning photos to cherish. For me personally, I always ask myself, "would Audrey Hepburn wear this in the modern-day?' and that has saved me from a few potential fashion fails.

What If I am unexpectedly late to my session? Will my session be affected?
I kindly request for all of my clients to plan sufficient tine to arrive to your session. If you happen to be running late, please give me a call. Due to scheduling, the session's time may be affected, with these variables in mind: time of day, lighting. and subsequent sessions for other client(s).
