Frequently Asked Questions

HELP! I DON’T KNOW HOW TO POSE!

I am here for you! Don’t worry if you haven’t mastered any poses. I guarantee that between styling, planning, our incredible hair and makeup artist, and my direction, not only will you look absolutely stunning, but your photos will too!

WHERE WILL I BE PHOTOGRAPHED?

Most photoshoots take place in my studio located in Kingman, AZ. However, I would love to plan our photoshoot in the woods, on the beach, or wherever your dream location may be.

WHAT IS THE BOOKING FEE?

The booking fee is a non-refundable retainer to hold your photoshoot date. When you book, we dedicate that day to you and you alone.

WILL YOU HELP WITH WARDROBE?

While I can provide studio wardrobe pieces for you, I highly recommend renting, borrowing, or purchasing a wardrobe that makes you feel confident and beautiful for your shoot. Between what you bring and what I have on hand, I can help style you in outfits that will photograph beautifully.

HOW LONG DOES A SESSION TAKE?

A typical portrait sessions last approximately three hours.

CAN YOU TRAVEL?

Fortunately, I absolutely love traveling and would be happy to shoot on location! Especially if you're considering a gorgeous mountainside backdrop, elegant forest feel, or relaxing beach vibe. If you have your heart set on a destination photoshoot, we can discuss anything you have in mind. Wherever you want to go, you will leave with an incredible set of photos to bring home with you.

*A booking that includes travel (Anywhere outside Northern Arizona) must include transportation and at least a one night hotel stay.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY PRINTS?

All of my packages and products include retouching and printed materials; these two steps can be done as quickly as 4 weeks or up to 6 (especially if there is a holiday! - If your aim is to receive printed products before a holiday I recommend booking at least 6 weeks out to be sure! If you have any concerns or time constraints let me know!

WHAT HAPPENS AT A VIEWING & ORDERING APPOINTMENT?

This is actually one of my favorite parts of the experience, as I have the opportunity to show you how gorgeous you are. You might tear up, you may even see yourself in a whole new light. If you’re anything like my past clients, you perhaps have never been photographed professionally and will be in awe of how everything turned out. I will show you the breathtaking shots we captured, and we can make a decision together on which photos and products you would like to order. Once we decide, full payment will be due, and I will start production on your order and get it to you within 4 to 6 weeks!

DO YOU OFFER DIGITAL FILES?

Yes! Digital files come complimentary with all printed packages.

DO YOU RECOMMEND PRINTS?

Although we are in a digital age we are constantly met with new platforms, storage filling, and the inevitable data corruption. Prints are forever. There is no feeling like seeing yourself or a loved one in a photograph, especially with age. Your children, or even your children’s children will own and cherish them. I urge you to remember, these photos are a legacy, a timeless and classic statement of who you are in this moment. Because it is one of my biggest passions to bring back prints, all of my packages include printed products.

DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH couples? ON LOCATION? MY DOG?

Yes, yes, and yes! If you are wanting something special photographed or have any specific requests, don’t hesitate to reach out!
