FAQ
How do I book?
To snag your session, you'll need a $75 non-refundable retainer (it’s $250 for weddings) and a signed contract to lock in your spot. Just shoot me a message to book!
Do you offer extended family packages?
I totally do! Just a heads up, my mini session has some extra costs—after the sixth person, it's $10 for each additional person, with the max is ten. If you need a longer session, I've got packages for bigger groups too. Just check out the investment tab for more details!
How do I know which package is for me?
Choosing a package can feel a bit overwhelming, but no stress! I'm here to help you figure it out. After years of honing my skills, I've got a bunch of fun poses and moves ready to make the most of our time together! Just send me some info on how many people and what you’re thinking, and I’ll help you figure out which option is best.
Do you travel?
I absolutely love traveling! If you're looking to book me for anything beyond 30 miles from Navarre, FL, there'll be a small travel fee. This includes spots like Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, the 30A towns, Orange Beach, AL, and Gulf Shores, AL.
*The travel fee will be waived if 2 or more sessions are booked.
Unfortunately, at this time, I am not traveling to Rosemary Beach, Panama City Beach, Florida, or Fort Morgan, Alabama.
Do you take pictures only at the beach?
If you want something else besides the beach, I would love to recommend my favorite non-beach locations.
Do you offer mini sessions?
Yes! My mini-session is 15 minutes long, up to 10 people max. This package is always available in Navarre, FL. I do, however, schedule mini-sessions at other beaches. These will be posted on my Facebook page and on the Investment tab on this site.
What is your turnaround?
Depending on the season, my turnaround ranges from 3 - 4 business weeks (weddings 4 - 8 business weeks).
Need the photos back before my turnaround? Not a problem! I offer a rush delivery that makes your turnaround one week after the session. (Weddings are excluded from this option)
How do I choose between a sunrise or sunset session?
I am a fan of either! But there are a couple of things to consider:
Sunrise sessions are early! There is a specific timeframe that I aim for when doing morning sessions. These timeframes are either right at sunrise or nothing later than 30 minutes after sunrise. There is no shade on the beach, so I like to beat the sun before it gets too high and help prevent squinty eyes. Morning sessions have pros: fewer people, less wind, fewer distractions, easier on little ones, and beautiful lighting.
Sunset sessions are just as beautiful! I recommend a sunset session if your family aren't morning people. Sunset sessions are typically shot within an hour or so before sunset, depending on the package you choose. Sunset sessions allow us to capture the golden hour, giving you that glowy look to your photos. If the golden hour isn't your vibe, I do shoot before the golden hour. Just mention to me that you prefer the midday look.
What happens if it rains on my session?
If it rains on the day we had planned, we’ll try to find another day that works. If the weather doesn’t cooperate and/or we can’t reschedule, or if you’re traveling from out of town, the retainer will be refunded to you.
What happens if I cancel my session?
If you need to cancel your session, just a heads up that the retainer won’t be refunded. However, it’ll stay on your account for up to a year and can be used for a future session.
Will you help me pick out my outfits?
Of course! I'm here to help however I can! With every package, I include a fun outfit guide that gives you tips on colors and styles for all seasons. Plus, I've got some awesome outfit inspiration on my Pinterest board!

Do you edit your photos?
Every photo you get will be handpicked and edited, so all you have to do is print it out and put it up on your wall!
Can I purchase more photos outside my limit?
Of course! You can grab the images individually or snag the whole gallery at a discounted price.
How will I receive my images?
All galleries will be sent to you via email. You’ll get an online gallery that you can download to your computer or phone. Right now, I don’t offer prints, but you’ll receive a print release, and the photos will be high resolution, so you can print them yourself! I can also share some recommendations for printing companies. If you're interested, flash drives are available for purchase too.
