What sets my photography services apart from others?

I pride myself on delivering luxury photography experiences tailored to each family and couple. My attention to detail, artistic vision, and commitment to capturing genuine emotions set me apart. I focus on creating timeless images that you'll cherish for generations to come.

How do you approach family and wedding photography differently?

For family photography, I strive to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere where your family can truly be yourselves. I love capturing candid moments and genuine interactions that showcase your family's unique bond.

When it comes to wedding photography, I blend documentary-style photography with carefully curated portraits to tell the story of you and your special day. I understand the significance of every moment and aim to capture the essence and emotion of your wedding day.

What is included in your photography packages?

My photography packages are customizable to suit your specific needs and preferences. Typically, my packages include pre-session consultations, photo sessions at a location of your choice, professional editing, and high-resolution digital images. I also offer a range of additional services such as albums, prints, and wall art.

How far in advance should clients book their session or wedding date?

I recommend booking your session or wedding date as early as possible to secure your preferred date and time.  

For family sessions, booking 2 to 3 months ahead ensures availability, although I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. 

For weddings, I typically advise booking at least 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding seasons. 

There have been times where I’ve booked a session the week of or a wedding less than a month out. 

Currently I’m booking a max of 5-6 weddings per year to be able to give my undivided attention to each couple, as well as prioritizing my family time. Contacting me is the best way to find out my availability! 

What can clients expect during the photo session or wedding day?

During your photo session or wedding day, my goal is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. I'll guide you through natural poses and prompts to capture authentic moments and emotions. For weddings, I direct and pose when needed, but also work discreetly to document the day as it unfolds, ensuring I capture all the important moments while allowing you to enjoy your celebration.

How long does it take to receive the photos after the session or wedding?

I understand the excitement of seeing your photos, and I strive to deliver your images as quickly as possible without compromising on quality. Typically, you can expect to receive your edited photos within 3 to 4 weeks after your session, or 6 to 8 weeks after your wedding day. I'll keep you updated throughout the editing process to ensure you're informed every step of the way.

Will all of the images delivered be edited?

Yes! Every photographer has their own style and method of delivering photos. I work very hard and spend quite a few hours perfecting my edits on your final images. My clients value my style and consistency, and so I only deliver the final images fully edited and completed in order to maintain the integrity of my work.

When is the best time to schedule a maternity session?

Maternity sessions are best scheduled between 28–34 weeks, when your belly is beautifully round but you're still feeling comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the session.

What should I wear to my maternity session?

Soft, neutral colors and flowy dresses photograph beautifully and highlight your bump in the most flattering way. Feel free to bring one or two outfit options if you'd like variety. Once your session is booked, I’ll send you a detailed style guide to help you choose the perfect look!

What should we expect from a newborn session?

Newborn sessions are calm, flexible, and baby-led. I typically photograph newborns within the first 5–14 days of life, when they’re still sleepy and cuddly. The session can take place in your home or at a studio and often lasts 1–2 hours to allow plenty of time for feeding, changing, and snuggles.

How should we prepare for our family photos?

The most important thing is to come ready to relax and have fun! I recommend choosing coordinated—not matching—outfits in complementary tones. Make sure little ones are well-rested and fed before the session, and bring along snacks or comfort items if needed. You’ll also receive my style and prep guide once your session is booked, with tips to make your experience stress-free.

Can siblings or pets be included in the session?

Absolutely! Including siblings and pets makes your photos even more meaningful. Just let me know ahead of time so we can plan for a smooth and relaxed session for everyone.

What if my kids don’t cooperate?

Totally normal—and nothing to stress about! I’ve worked with plenty of wiggly little ones and have a few tricks up my sleeve to keep things light and fun. The goal is to capture your family as you are, so we’ll roll with the moments and make it joyful.

For weddings, do you shoot with a second photographer?

Yes! All of my wedding packages include a second photographer, allowing for additional coverage of your wedding day and ensuring that no moment is missed. Whether it's capturing different angles of the ceremony or candid shots of your guests, a second photographer enhances the overall coverage and provides a more comprehensive storytelling experience. I choose and hire the second photographer based on their shooting style and the level of trust I have built with them. All final images will be edited and delivered by me. 

Do you offer destination photography services?

Yes! I am located in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona but I love traveling to capture special moments in beautiful locations! Whether you're planning a destination wedding or a family vacation, I'm available to travel worldwide to photograph your special moments. Please reach out to discuss your specific destination photography needs, and I'll create a customized package for you.
