The FAQ

Do you Travel?

Yes! I’m based in Milton, Florida and regularly photograph sessions throughout Pensacola and the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast, including Navarre, Pace, and surrounding beach areas.
If you have a location in mind — especially along the Gulf Coast beaches — I’m always happy to chat about travel options.

How many photos do we get?

Every session is a little different, but you can expect a thoughtfully curated gallery filled with the best images from your session — typically 40–75+ edited photos depending on session type.
I focus on quality over quantity, delivering a mix of posed portraits and natural, in-between moments.

How do we get our photos?

You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can download high-resolution images, share with family, and order professional prints if you’d like.
Your gallery is easy to access and designed to make viewing and downloading simple.

Do you retouch photos?

Yes — every image is professionally edited in my signature light and natural style.
I retouch for color, lighting, and minor distractions while keeping skin tones and details looking real. My goal is for you to look like yourself — just your best, most well-rested version.

Whats your turn around time?

Most sessions are delivered within 2–3 weeks.
During busy seasons, it may be slightly longer — but I always keep you updated along the way. I know you’re excited to see them, and I work hard to get your gallery back as quickly as possible without rushing the process.

How do we book you?

Booking is simple. Start by filling out the contact form on my website with your session type and preferred date. From there, I’ll send over availability, answer any questions, and guide you through the next steps.
A signed contract and retainer officially reserve your date on my calendar.

Can you help us with planning?

Absolutely. I’ll help you choose the best time of day for light (hello, dreamy Pensacola sunsets), suggest locations, and offer guidance on wardrobe so everything feels cohesive and effortless.
You don’t need to have it all figured out — that’s what I’m here for.

What should we wear?

Think coordinated, not matching. Soft neutrals, light textures, and pieces that move beautifully in the Gulf Coast breeze photograph especially well.
Once you’re booked, I’ll send a style guide with tips and inspiration so you feel confident and comfortable going into your session.

How far out do you book?

I typically book family and lifestyle sessions 1–3 months in advance, especially during busy seasons like spring and fall along the Gulf Coast.
For maternity sessions, I recommend booking during your second trimester to secure your ideal date. If you’re planning something special, reaching out early is always best — but feel free to ask about last-minute availability!
