Frequently Asked Questions
This isn’t about a photo session, or even the pictures, it’s about You. Forget about posing and feeling stiff in front of the camera. Imagine going on a walk with an old friend, who just happens to have a camera with them. My process is free and flowy, and my only goal is to capture your true self.
HOW LONG WILL MY SESSION LAST?
Sessions are typically 60mins in length! Time does go fast (that’s how much fun we’ll have) - so arriving on time is very important. I
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?
I ask for up to 14 business days to deliver a full gallery of Images. I am known for a quick turnaround time, so I like to get your photos back to you ASAP. If they get done earlier, I will contact you.
WHAT IF I'M RUNNING LATE?
Please plan enough time to get to your session. Whether that be getting the kids ready or navigating through rush hour traffic. If you are running late, please call us. I will give you a 15 minute grace period, after 15 minutes it will cut into your photo session. If you are more than 30 minutes late without calling, you will forfeit your booking fee and we will have the right to cancel the session. We understand unforeseen circumstances, please communicate with us. If we are late, we will communicate that with you and your session time will not be affected.
CANCELLATION POLICY
I know how life works. Kids get sick. Weather ruins the day. And I want to make things as easy as possible for you. I require a non-refundable deposit to save the date, but if anyone gets sick or if it rains the photoshoot can be rescheduled anytime within 4 months. Please don't wait until the last minute to reschedule as long as I have 48 hours' notice of the cancellation.
If you cancel within a 48-hour window, then all monies paid are non-refundable. The 48-hour cancellation period does not apply if the cancellation is weather related or extreme life events.
HELP!!! I'M NOT PHOTOGENIC AT ALL!
Believe it or not, EVERYONE tells me this before their session, and it never turns out to be true! I coach my clients through having their photos taken. When you’re having a great time, you’ll look more beautiful than you thought was possible.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE GET RAINED OUT?
I keep a number of backup dates open each month in case of bad weather, and there is no fee to reschedule to a new date if it’s raining. Charleston weather can be unpredictable and changes very quickly, so I typically wait to call off a session until that morning (or the night before sunrise sessions). Sunshine and natural light is a huge part of my style of photography, and it’s definitely worth waiting for a beautiful day!
I SAW THESE CUTE PICTURES ON PINTEREST. CAN WE DO THOSE?
I love Pinterest as much as the next girl! Pinterest is best used as an initial source of inspiration, rather than a strict guideline for your photographer. If you do want to use Pinterest to help you plan your session, look at it as general inspiration (not exact replication)— for instance, use it to figure out what style of photos you like
How do I reserve you for my date?
All dates are reserved once we receive your signed contract and deposit.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT during a photo session
During your photo session, you can expect a relaxed and enjoyable experience. We'll provide direction to capture natural interactions and expressions, ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera.
HOW LONG DOES MINI SESSION LAST?
Sessions are typically 20 mins in length! Time does go fast (that’s how much fun we’ll have) - so arriving on time is very important.
Do you offer studio photography sessions?
I’m a natural light photographer — most of my sessions are outdoors in beautiful Lowcountry locations or cozy, lifestyle sessions in your home.
Do you offer lifestyle in-home sessions
Yes! I love capturing cozy, real-life moments right in the comfort of your home . These sessions focus on natural interactions — like baking in the kitchen, reading with the kids, or snuggling on the couch — to tell your family’s story in an authentic way.
