How do we officially book our session?
A signed contract and paid retainer are required to officially secure your date. Once those are completed, your session is locked in and no one else can book that time.
What if I don’t sign my contract?
Contracts are required for every session. If a contract is not signed, your session will not be booked. This protects both of us and ensures we’re fully prepared for your day.
Sneak peeks are delivered within 2–5 days so you have something beautiful to share right away.
Full gallery turnaround time is 2–8 weeks, depending on the type of session and whether it is a wedding. Weddings typically require more editing time due to the volume of images and detail involved.
I do not deliver RAW images. Editing is a huge part of my artistry and what makes my work unique. RAW files do not reflect my finished style or the quality you see in my portfolio.
Every session is unique, but you can expect a thoughtfully curated gallery with all the best, fully edited images from your session. I do not limit based on a strict number — if it’s beautiful and tells your story, you’ll receive it.
Absolutely. You do not need to know how to pose — that’s my job. I will guide you through natural, flattering movement and prompts so you never feel awkward or unsure.
After booking, I provide styling guidance to help you feel confident and cohesive. I’m always happy to help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully and fit the vibe of your session.
If weather becomes an issue, we will reschedule or adjust as needed. Your experience and photos matter too much to risk poor conditions.
In the rare case of an emergency, I will do everything in my power to find a trusted replacement photographer or reschedule your session. Your investment is safe and protected.
Simply reach out and let me know what type of session you’d like to gift (wedding, mommy & me, couples, boudoir, etc.) or the budget you have in mind.
I will send you an invoice, and once payment is completed, you will receive a receipt and digital gift card via email
I am based in Boise, Idaho and absolutely love to travel! Whether you're planning a mountain elopement, a backyard wedding, or a dreamy desert session — I’m there. Travel fees may apply depending on location.
Your gallery will include all fully edited, high-resolution images from your session. You’ll be able to
