Frequently Asked Questions
How long is your session?
A portrait session experience tailored to your desires is a $200 sitting fee, which covers a full makeover for women, personalized styling conversations, and the photography session itself. No purchase decisions are made until you’ve seen your final images—I wouldn’t expect you to pay for something you haven’t seen. There is no hard sell here; I simply show the images and package prices, and you choose what feels right for you.
How long is a session?
Most sessions last three hours and up, though we often stay longer to capture your story with the care it deserves. We highly recommend treating this as a special day for yourself—enjoy professional hair and makeup, and plan to go out afterward because you will look and feel absolutely amazing.
Do you retouch the images?
I honor your natural beauty by focusing on flattering lighting and posing, and I will never create an image that doesn't look realistically like you. I’m happy to gently retouch temporary things like a breakout if discussed in advance, as my goal is to celebrate your authentic identity. This is a warm, body-positive, and LGBTQ+ affirming sanctuary for your authentic self.
How long until I receive my images?
You will receive your fully edited gallery within three weeks. I take meticulous care in the editing phase to ensure every image reflects the elegance, soul, and pride of our collaboration.
What if I just want the digital images?
Every purchase includes both high-resolution digital files and professional prints as standard. Your investment reflects the expert creative services—personalized planning, photography, and retouching—rather than the prints themselves. These prints are a special bonus touch that my clients love to keep or share as heartfelt gifts. Prints are included in the price so you might as well take them, but I will happily leave them out at your request without a price change.

Collaborative Artistry
For many sessions, I collaborate with my trusted artist, Natasha Diehl, a certified professional makeup artist and licensed cosmetologist.

She takes time to understand your routine and comfort level, designing a look that enhances your natural features so you feel like the most elevated version of yourself before you step in front of the camera.
