Question 1

How do I book a session?

Accepted Answer

Fill out the inquiry form and I'll reach out within 24–48 hours to check availability, answer questions, and get you on the calendar. It's that simple.

Question 2

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

I typically book 4–6 weeks out for family and maternity sessions, with spring and summer filling by April. Maternity sessions should be booked in your second trimester to secure your spot. Weddings book 6–18 months in advance — if you're planning a 2026 date, now is the time.

Question 3

Is this worth the investment?

Accepted Answer

The photos you'll have from this session will outlast almost everything else in your home. They're what you grab in an emergency. They're what your kids will show their kids. I take that seriously, which is why I don't rush, don't over-pose, and don't deliver anything I'm not proud of. This isn't a commodity — it's a record of your life.

Question 4

Where do sessions take place?

Accepted Answer

Anywhere meaningful to you — a favorite park, your backyard, the beach, downtown Sacramento. I'll help you choose a spot with beautiful light for your session time.

Question 5

What if it rains or something comes up?

Accepted Answer

Life happens — I get it. If weather or an unexpected conflict comes up, we'll reschedule at no charge. I want your session to feel easy and stress-free from start to finish.

Question 6

Do you travel outside Sacramento?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I'm based in Sacramento and serve the surrounding areas including the Bay Area, Tahoe, and beyond. Travel fees apply for sessions more than 30 miles out — just ask when you reach out.

Question 7

What should we wear?

Accepted Answer

I send every client a full styling guide before their session. The short answer: coordinated (not matching), comfortable, and true to you. Avoid large logos and super-bright whites.

Question 8

When will we get our photos?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive a sneak peek within 24 hours — because waiting is the worst. Full galleries for family, maternity, newborn, and couples sessions are delivered within 7 days. Weddings within 6–8 weeks.

Question 9

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes! A retainer secures your date, and the remaining balance is due before your session. For weddings, I offer flexible payment plans. Reach out and we'll figure out what works.
