All travel-related fees will be outlined clearly in your customized quote during our consultation.

Q: What should we wear for our session?

A: Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. I recommend solid colors or subtle patterns, avoiding overly bright neon colors or logos that can be distracting. If you're planning a group or family shoot, coordinating colors rather than matching outfits works best. If you need help selecting your wardrobe, I can provide recommendations based on your session type and location.

Q: How should we prepare for our session?

A: To ensure the best results: Get plenty of rest the night before to look refreshed. Arrive early to allow time for last-minute adjustments. Bring essential items like hairbrushes, touch-up makeup, or extra outfits if needed. For outdoor sessions, consider the weather and dress accordingly. If young children are involved, bringing snacks and a favorite toy can help keep them engaged. During our pre-session consultation, I’ll provide personalized tips to help you feel prepared and comfortable.

Q: Do you have any recommendations for locations?

A: Yes! I have a list of great locations that offer stunning backdrops, from urban cityscapes to scenic nature spots. During our consultation, we’ll discuss the type of setting you prefer, and I can suggest options based on lighting, season, and accessibility. If you have a specific location in mind, I’m happy to accommodate it as well.
