FAQ’s

Q: HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK MY SESSION WITH YOU?

If you have a deadline in mind for your portraits, you’re gonna want to allow yourself at least 6 weeks or more. There’s only one of me and I shoot 2 days per week - Wednesdays and Fridays. Summer is also very popular with High School Senior portraits so if you know when you want to shoot get it locked in ASAP.

Q: HOW MUCH WILL I SPEND ON MY PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE?

A custom portrait session retainer is $500 and is paid in advance to reserve your selected date on my calendar. Included in this retainer is your style guide, access to my studio wardrobe, professional hair & makeup application, your portrait session, and reveal session where we select your favorite images and how you would like to display them. Portrait collections start at $2000. Most of my clients spend a wee bit more than they intend to only because they fall in love with their images and select wall art for various places in their home!

Q: WHERE IS YOUR STUDIO LOCATED AND DO YOU SHOOT ON LOCATION?

I am located in the suburbs of Erie, PA. Most of my sessions are conducted at my studio. However, I do photograph on location as well mostly, for our high school senior clients.

Q: DO YOU OFFER DESTINATION SESSIONS?

Yes I do! Have a trip already planned and want me to join you for a special portrait session? Perhaps you’re celebrating with a girls trip to Europe or a family vacation to the beach. Whatever the reason, I’d love to create something very special. On occasion, I will book a dream destination shoot for my high school senior clients who want something memorable or my beauty clients that deserve something remarkable! Get on my newsletter list to be the first to hear about these special trips.

Q: I LOVE YOUR WORK BUT I NOTICE YOU DON’T HAVE ANY WEDDING PHOTOS. DO YOU OFFER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY?

Unfortunately, I do not. I am a portrait artist. That is what I am good at and I am okay leaving the wedding photography to the experts. It’s a whole different thing and it is just not my thing. However, if you are getting married and would like to do a custom bridal session or perhaps a boudoir shoot, I am definitely your girl!

Q: CAN I JUST GET THE DIGITALS?

Ummm, yes and no. Every portrait I create and sell is accompanied by a digital file that can be used to share on social media. I don’t just offer the digitals though. I feel very strongly that my job as a professional photographer is to deliver a product and service that exceeds your expectations. It would be a huge disservice on my part if I did not provide you with archival image products that you could enjoy for generations to come.
