FAQ

What types of photography sessions do you offer?

I specialize in professional headshots and branding, seniors and teens, families, and glamour portraits. Glamour sessions can include maternity and elegant boudoir, but they certainly don’t have to. I also offer team and staff headshots on location for businesses throughout the Greater Charlotte area.

Where are you located?

I’m based in Weddington, NC, just outside of Charlotte, and photograph clients throughout the Greater Charlotte area. Sessions may take place outdoors, on location, at your business, or in a studio setting depending on the type of session and what we’re creating.

How do I book a session?

Most sessions begin with a brief phone consultation or email exchange so I can learn what you need and how you’d like to be photographed. Once we’ve decided on the right session and date, I’ll send you an online booking link to reserve your appointment and take care of payment.

For seasonal sessions and other special offerings, you may be able to book directly through my online calendar.

What is your pricing for a session?

Pricing varies depending on the type of session and what you need. Headshots begin at $300, with additional options available for hair and makeup, branding, teams, and larger image collections.

Senior, family, and glamour portrait sessions have their own session and collection options. I’ll go over pricing with you before you book so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

Do I get the digital images?

Yes. Headshot, branding, senior, and family sessions include digital images according to the collection you select.

For portrait sessions that include printed artwork, purchased prints include the corresponding digital image. Prints, albums, and wall art are also available à la carte for any session.

I'm not photogenic and hate having my picture taken. Can you help?

Absolutely. Most of my clients tell me some version of this before their session! You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do in front of the camera—that’s my job. I’ll guide you throughout your session so you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself.

Do you offer hair and makeup?

Yes! I’m a licensed hairstylist and professional makeup artist with over 26 years of experience. Hair and makeup are available for select sessions and can be incorporated into your experience when appropriate.

What do I wear?

Don’t worry—you won’t be left to figure that out alone. I’ll help guide you toward clothing, colors, and styling that photograph beautifully and make sense for your session. For branding and portrait sessions, we can also plan multiple looks when appropriate.

What is your retouching philosophy?

I want you to look like you—on your very best day.

Every purchased image receives professional editing and retouching, which may include temporary blemish removal, subtle skin retouching, teeth whitening, stray hair cleanup, and other finishing touches. My goal is always polished and natural, never overly edited.

If there’s something specific you’d like me to address—or something you don’t want changed—just let me know. Extensive retouching may require an additional fee.

Will you share my images online?

Never without permission. I love sharing the beautiful images I create, but I respect that not everyone wants their photographs displayed publicly. Your comfort and privacy come first.

How do I choose my final collection?

After your session, you'll receive a proof gallery containing the best images from your shoot. These are unfinished images used to choose your favorites. Once you've made your selections, I'll professionally edit and retouch your chosen images before delivering your final gallery. Depending on your session, selections may be made online or during an in-person or virtual reveal.

Do you deliver proofs or RAW (unedited) images?

No. RAW files and unedited proofs are unfinished work and aren't representative of the finished photographs I create. Only final, purchased images are professionally edited and released to clients.

What is your cancellation policy?

Sessions may be rescheduled or cancelled without penalty with at least 48 hours’ notice. Cancellations within 48 hours and missed appointments may result in forfeiture of your session fee.

You’ll receive an appointment reminder before your session.
