Booking Policies, Pricing & Session Details

Sessions can be reserved by reaching out through the contact page, email, or social media. A deposit is required to secure your date on the calendar.

Rescheduling requires at least 24-48 hours' notice, depending on the session type. Deposits are non-refundable, but they can be applied to a new, rescheduled session date.

An outdoor session affected by bad weather is rescheduled for another day, or moved to the studio if preferred. There's no extra charge for a weather-related reschedule.

Booking windows vary by session type — generally 4-8 weeks for standard portraits, 6-12 weeks for maternity or cake smash, and as early as the second trimester for newborn sessions. Each service page has the exact recommended timing for that specific session.

Yes, mini sessions are offered throughout the year, especially around holidays, along with a list of year-round minis that can be booked anytime. Current mini session dates are posted on the Minis page and announced on social media.

Yes, payment is made through an invoice, which can be paid directly by credit or debit card. Invoices are sent for every session type.

Yes, a $15 referral discount is available for any paid full session booked by name, along with a 10% military and first responder discount on all sessions except minis. A 10% discount is also offered to foster or adoptive parents for newborn sessions or any session within the child's first year.

Yes, gift certificates are available for any session type and make a practical gift for birthdays, holidays, or baby showers.

Pricing varies by session type and is listed on the Pricing page, or available as a custom quote on request. The standard payment plan is 50% due at booking and 50% due one week before the session, with custom plans available on request.

No, raw images aren't provided, since editing is an essential part of creating the final product. Every image delivered has gone through a full editing process to reach its final look.

Sessions are shot on a Nikon Mirrorless Z6III camera with a range of Nikon lenses. This equipment is used across every session type.

Yes, natural retouching is included in every session, covering skin smoothing, blemish removal, and color and light correction. Retouching is applied consistently regardless of age or session type.

Yes, every package includes digital files, delivered as a download link for high-resolution images. This link gives full access to your final edited photos.

A private online proofing gallery is provided to view and select favorite images for final editing. Additional images can also be purchased directly from this gallery.

Yes, prints, albums, canvases, frames, and photo gifts are all available, and some packages include prints. A full print and product catalog can be requested to see all available options.

The proofing gallery is delivered within 2-4 business days of the session, and final edited images typically follow within 2-3 weeks. Current editing turnaround time is confirmed at the time of booking.
