Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a photoshoot?
I’m so excited you’re here!
To book, simply fill out the contact form on my website with as much detail as you can — session type, desired month/date, and a little about your family.
Once we finalize a date, I’ll send over your booking link. Your session is officially secured once the contract is signed and the non-refundable retainer is paid. After that, the fun planning begins.
When is the best time to schedule a maternity session?
The sweet spot is between 30–34 weeks — your belly is beautifully defined, and you’re (usually!) still feeling comfortable enough to move around with ease.
I always recommend booking during your second trimester. This gives us the best chance of securing your preferred date and plenty of time to plan outfits, location, and all the little details that make your session feel intentional and stunning.
Maternity is one of my biggest passions, so I love planning these thoughtfully.
Do you offer indoor and outdoor sessions?
Yes! I offer:
- Outdoor golden-hour sessions
- Studio sessions
- In-home lifestyle sessions
We’ll choose what fits your vision and comfort best.
What should I wear?
Once you’re booked, we schedule a dress trial at my home.
I offer a boutique quality client closet for moms (maternity and non-maternity), babies, and toddlers. During your trial, you can try on multiple options and pick your favorite. I’ll also help style your partner and children so everything flows beautifully together.
Styling is a huge part of what makes my sessions look the way they do — soft, cohesive, and timeless.
How long does a session last?
It depends on the type of session.
Most sessions run anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours. I never rush, especially with little ones. We move at a natural pace so everyone feels comfortable and relaxed.
How do you create a comfortable environment?
I gently guide you the entire time. You won’t be left wondering what to do with your hands.
My approach is relaxed and natural. I give direction when needed but leave space for connection so your images feel real and full of life — not stiff or overly posed.
When will we receive our photos?
Within one week, you’ll receive a proofing gallery to select your favorite images.
After you make your selections, your professionally edited images will be delivered within 3–4 weeks from your session date.
I take my time with editing to ensure your gallery feels polished and beautiful.
Do you offer digital files and prints?
Yes. I offer both digital collections and heirloom print options including:
- Albums
- Framed prints
- Canvases
Your memories deserve to live outside of your phone.
Do you help choose locations?
Yes, and this is one of my favorite parts.
I have personal favorite spots and carefully scouted locations where the light hits beautifully. Living in California means every location changes depending on the season and rainfall, so I constantly revisit and evaluate my spots.
During your dress trial, we’ll finalize the location based on:
- Your outfits
- The season
- The look you’re drawn to
Everything is chosen intentionally so your session feels cohesive and stunning — just like what you see in my portfolio.
What if I don’t want to use the client closet? Do I get a discount?
There is no discount if you choose not to use the client closet, as my packages are curated with styling included.
You’re absolutely welcome to wear your own outfits. I will still guide you and help style your family. I do work primarily with neutral tones and soft palettes, so outfit choices do impact the final look of your gallery.
The colors, textures, and fit truly make a difference in how everything photographs.
