How much do photo sessions cost?
My pricing varies depending on the type of session, it's duration, location, and any additional services you may need.
I specialize in maternity, newborn, milestone, and senior portraits, tailoring each session to create a truly memorable experience.
For detailed information about session costs, what’s included, and my current booking availability, I invite you to explore the specific page for your session type on my website. Each page provides all the details you need to plan your perfect photography session.
What’s the best time to schedule my session to secure a spot?
- Newborn Sessions: Book while pregnant to ensure availability. Newborns are typically photographed within the first 7–14 days after birth. Details are on the Newborn page of my website.
- Maternity Sessions: Schedule between 29–33 weeks of pregnancy. Booking early ensures a date during this ideal timeframe. See the Maternity page for more information.
- Milestone Sessions: Timing varies based on goals, like first birthdays or sitting milestones. Visit the Milestone page for guidance.
- Senior/Graduate Sessions: Book early, especially around graduation, to receive images in time for announcements or events.
- Other Sessions (Families, Headshots, etc.): Schedule 1–2 months in advance for optimal timing. While I’ll try to accommodate last-minute requests, planning ahead is best.
do the digital images come with the packages?
Yes, I offer both high-resolution digital files and professional print options. Each session includes a set number of digital images, which you can easily download and print at your convenience. You’ll find that there are no hidden costs—everything is included in the package you choose, so there’s no surprise pricing along the way.
For those who prefer the best quality prints, I highly recommend using professional printing services. These services ensure that your images are printed with the highest standards, preserving the beauty and detail of these special moments. For the best details on what's included in each session, I encourage you to explore the specific session pages on my website, where you’ll find all the information you need, including the digital files provided, printing options, and much more!
what locations do you recommend for sessions?
Absolutely! I have a cozy studio located in Waxhaw, NC, where I offer a comfortable space for a variety of sessions. Additionally, I photograph throughout the greater Charlotte, NC area, and I’m always happy to shoot at a location that fits your vision—whether it’s a scenic outdoor spot, your home, or another special place.
The location of your session is a key part of the experience, and I’ll help guide you in choosing the perfect setting based on your personal style and the vibe you want to capture. After booking, I’ll provide location suggestions tailored to your vision. For example, if you’re a senior looking for beautiful flower fields, I’ll recommend a specific package that accommodates the time and logistics needed for that type of session.
No matter the location, I’ll ensure the timing is right to deliver the high-quality images I’m known for. Let’s work together to bring your ideas to life!
when will I receive my final photos?
Every session is unique, and I’ve tailored the process for each type. For specifics, check the individual session pages on my website.
Proof Gallery: Delivered within 3–5 business days after your session for you to select your favorite images for editing.
Final Selection: Submit your choices within 5 days to begin the editing process.
Final Gallery: Delivered within 7–10 business days, ensuring each image meets my high standards. You’ll receive an email with download instructions once ready.
Please consider this timeline when booking, especially for time-sensitive events. Let me know about special requests or deadlines—I’ll do my best to accommodate.
This process ensures your images are beautifully crafted, and I can’t wait to share them with you!
Can I request specific edits or retouching for my photos?
I welcome your input and am happy to accommodate specific editing requests! During the proof gallery selection process, you can share any desired edits, from minor retouching to more extensive changes.
To ensure a smooth process, all requests must be submitted before final editing begins. Additional edits after this stage will incur an extra fee due to the time involved.
I’m dedicated to delivering photos you’ll love, so don’t hesitate to share your thoughts during the proof gallery review!
can I purchase a gift certificate?
Absolutely, I offer digital gift certificates that make the perfect gift for family and friends! You can purchase a gift certificate for a full session or in incremental amounts, making it a flexible option for any occasion. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift for a baby shower, a holiday present, or just a special surprise, a photography session gift certificate is a unique and memorable way to celebrate life’s milestones.
The recipient can redeem the gift certificate at their convenience, and I’ll be happy to guide them in choosing the perfect session for their needs. It’s a wonderful way to give the gift of cherished memories!
What if I don’t see the session type I am wanting to book?
As a photographer specializing in maternity, newborns, graduates, and milestone sessions, a significant portion of my time is dedicated to these areas. However, I also offer a variety of other sessions, including full family portraits, seasonal mini sessions, as well as branding and professional headshots when my schedule permits.
If you don’t see the session you're looking for on the homepage, be sure to check out the Additional Sessions page. There, you’ll find detailed information on family portraits, mini sessions, headshots, and more. For maternity, newborn, milestone, and senior/graduate sessions, each has its own dedicated page with specific details tailored to those unique experiences.
