FAQ

How do I officially book my session?

To reserve your date, a signed photography contract and a 30% retainer are due at booking. Once both are received, your session is officially secured! After booking, I'll send helpful resources to guide you through preparing for your session

Where do sessions take place?

I'm based in New Bern, North Carolina, and photograph sessions throughout Eastern North Carolina and beyond. I love natural settings, open fields, coastal scenery, and locations with beautiful light. I'm happy to help you find a location that fits your vision. Additional travel fees may apply.

What should I wear to my session?

I recommend choosing outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable while complementing each other in color and style. Earthy tones, neutrals, and soft textures photograph beautifully with my natural, cinematic style. You'll receive a styling guide with outfit inspiration and helpful tips after booking!

What if we are awkward in front of the camera?

You don't have to know how to pose! I'll guide you throughout your session with gentle direction and prompts that encourage natural movement and genuine connection. My goal is to create a relaxed experience and photographs that feel authentic, meaningful, and unmistakably you.

When will I receive my photos?

Your full gallery will be delivered within 2 weeks, depending on your session and collection. You'll receive a private online gallery where you can view, download, share, and order prints of your favorite images.
