All of your session images will be carefully edited and retouched to perfection. I’ll make sure lighting is corrected, any distracting objects are removed, and blemishes are retouched. For creative sessions, I may also add artistic enhancements to give the photos an extra touch of magic, always checking with you to ensure you're happy with the edits before finalizing. You can rest assured that your photos will be beautifully enhanced to showcase the best moments from your session!

Delivering fully retouched and edited photos promptly is a priority, but my main focus is ensuring you receive the highest quality product. Within a few days after your session, you will receive 2-3 sneak peek photos. At this point, you can let me know if there are any retouching or editing changes you'd like. Finished galleries are typically delivered via email within 2-3 weeks, though this can take up to 30 days. For larger events, like weddings, expect a longer turnaround. I am very meticulous with my retouching process to ensure you receive the best photos!

Absolutely! I have a client queue set up specifically for this purpose. In the queue, you'll be able to see my workflow process I follow to complete your photos. I do my best to update the queue when each task is completed or in progress, so you can always view accurate information about the status of your photos.

After our session, I carefully review each image and select the best ones to retouch and deliver to you. Factors like lighting, clarity, movement, poses, and facial expressions all play a role in my decision-making. I promise to thoughtfully choose and return the highest-quality images from our session.

Once the editing process is complete, you’ll receive a digital gallery with high-resolution photos, sent via email and accessible with a provided PIN. You’ll have the flexibility to download and share your photos. I recommend using a computer to download your images. This helps preserve the highest image quality and ensures you’re viewing your images as intended. Mobile devices may compress or alter files during download, which can affect clarity and resolution.

I do not give out RAW photos for a few reasons. RAW files are completely unedited photos straight from the camera. Not only are they GIANT files that require special programs to open, but it’s also an unfinished product! They are often duplicates, or unflattering poses or facial expressions that get skipped over during post-processing. Photographers put hours and hours into learning to process their work in their own style. If we gave out RAW files and someone else edited them, it wouldn’t be our work anymore. Trust me when I say I will only deliver you the best results!

Once your gallery is ready, you’ll receive an email with a link to download your photos. I kindly recommend keeping this email, as the link will remain active and continue to provide access to your images, even in the event of accidental deletions. If you've accidentally deleted this email, please contact me as soon as possible. While I make every effort to retain all session photos for a limited time, I cannot guarantee their availability.

I offer many different options. Check out my services page here.

Photos and/or galleries will be publicly posted online only if you've signed a Model Release form. This form gives me your permission to share the photos from your session on my website, social media, advertising, etc. This form is 100% optional, meaning you do not need to sign one to book a session with me. Additionally, if you've signed a Model Release form but later change your mind about your photos being public, please contact me. I'll gladly remove your photos from my platforms.

I offer a variety of print options, and some session packages even include a complimentary print or album. You have up to one calendar year after receiving your gallery to purchase prints. All prints and other photo items are produced in a professional printing lab, ensuring top-quality results.

I have over 10 years of experience, but I am still constantly challenging myself and learning. I took an interest in photography when I was 14-15 years old. I signed up for my high school photography class and started shooting 35mm film on my Canon EOS Rebel 2000. Shortly after, I got my Nikon D3300 DSLR that I still use to this day! (If it's not broken, don't fix it, right?) After high school, I went on to pursue my photography education at College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Since then, I have been shooting creatively in my free time and as a freelance photographer.

I have a dynamic and ever-evolving style as a photographer. By constantly learning and challenging myself, I am able to create timeless images while also incorporating my own artistic flair. My preference for bold, colorful, moody, sometimes earthy tones with occasional vintage touches brings a unique and captivating aesthetic to my work. I am exceptionally drawn to creating bold, emotional, painterly-esque images that feel like more than just a photo. You can find examples of my work here.

I do not offer newborn sessions. This is simply because I do not have the educational background to provide traditional newborn sessions. I do offer lifestyle sessions. These are different than traditional newborn sessions; lifestyle sessions often take place in the home, with mom or dad holding the baby, or taking photos of the baby undisturbed in their crib or bassinet, whereas traditional newborn sessions are often done in a studio setting, with the baby swaddled or in "unnatural" poses. With that being said, please do your research and make sure the photographer you choose to photograph your newborn is experienced and properly trained in safe posing techniques. Most of the traditional newborn photos you see are actually composites, meaning two or more images have been merged together in photoshop. This is because it's unsafe to leave a baby in certain positions for long. When it comes to newborn photography, there is absolutely no room for mistakes!

I require 40% deposits upon booking. This deposit is non-refundable. The reason for this is so I can secure the date & time of your session, as that date & time is made unavailable for any other bookings. Your deposit goes toward the total cost of your session.

Deposits are due upon booking, and the remainder of your session fee is to be paid no later than the morning of your scheduled session. I accept payment in the form of cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, and Cash App.

You can find my pricing here.

Throughout the year, I will offer mini-sessions. These are discounted from my typical session prices. I typically offer these sessions around the holidays, often taking place in a stylized studio setting. To stay up to date with these offers, you can follow my Facebook and Instagram, or subscribe to my mailing list.

I understand that life happens. People get sick and things go wrong. If you need to reschedule for any reason, please try to give me 72 hrs notice. If you happen to fall ill the day of your session, please reschedule. I work with all age groups and cannot risk passing on anything to my beloved clients. Plus, your photos will look better if you are feeling your best! If your reschedule is approved, your booking fee (deposit) will carry over to your new date. If rescheduling more than 30 days out from your initial session, a new booking fee will be required. If you no call no show, you are forfeiting your booking fee and I will not schedule with you again. Please be mindful that when I block off a time spot for you, I am holding that spot for only you. Therefore, I am not able to schedule someone else. I will not tolerate no call no show clients.

Certainly! It's important for me to have a discussion with you before booking your session to understand more about your pet and their needs. While studio sessions may not always be possible due to potential restrictions on allowing pets, I will do my best to suggest suitable locations for the session. Please keep in mind that certain locations may have their own pet restrictions as well.

I am located in St Clair Shores, MI. I service the Metro-Detroit area, but I am willing to travel. Travel fees are based on distance and if I will need overnight accommodations. This will be discussed during our booking consultation.

Unfortunately, I don’t have my own studio at the moment, but that is the goal one day! I am, however, able to rent studio spaces upon availability, if that is something you’re interested in. Studio sessions are a higher session fee, which will be discussed during the booking process. You can see the different studio options here. I also do both in-home and on-location sessions. Location recommendations are available to create the perfect backdrop for your session; find them here.

The best way to reach me is by email, text, or by filling out my contact form. I rarely answer unknown calls. You can find my contact information, as well as the form, here. *Please be sure to leave a valid email address or phone number. Without those, I'm unable to contact you back!*

Yes! I have Facebook and Instagram.

Please note that sessions held in the studio will incur an additional fee unless stated otherwise. This fee will be added to your session total and is covered in your booking deposit, ensuring that the studio is reserved for your selected date and time. Studio Fees: 30-Minute to 60-Minute Session: $85.00 90-Minute to 2-Hour Session: $170.00
