Frequently Asked Questions

  • Simply fill out our inquiry form and tell us a little about your family and the session you’re interested in. We’ll be in touch with availability and the next steps for reserving your date.

  • I do not offer unedited or RAW images. Each photograph is professionally edited to reflect my signature style, with careful attention to color, lighting, skin tones, and detail. Every delivered image is a finished piece of artwork.

  • A proofing gallery is a private online gallery where you can view your session proofs and select your favorite images for professional editing. Only the images included in your package or purchased separately will be fully edited and delivered.

  • Proofing galleries are available for a limited time. Please make your selections before the expiration date provided with your gallery link. Extensions may be available upon request (extension fee may apply).

  • We typically recommend scheduling your maternity session between 29–35 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible while you’re still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy your session.

  • We recommend reaching out during pregnancy to reserve your session. We’ll use your due date to plan your session and choose the perfect date once your little one arrives

  • We typically need approximately an 8’ x 8’ area to create your session setup. We’ll help you determine the best space in your home before your session.

  • Every selected image is professionally edited with our signature style, with careful attention to natural skin tones, beautiful hair detail, lighting, and a timeless overall finish.

  • I offer preferred pricing through my additional image collections, allowing you to save when purchasing multiple photographs. Special promotions may be offered periodically.
