FAQs
Do you deliver RAW or unedited images?
I don’t deliver RAW or unedited photos—and here’s why! ✨ I want your gallery to be a full experience from start to finish: beautifully edited, curated just for you, and full of that wow factor you deserve. My editing is part of the magic, and I promise it's worth the wait to keep the excitement alive when your final gallery arrives!
What is your processing time?
⏳ Photo Sessions: 2–3 weeks
🎉 Events: 2–4 weeks
⚡️ Need it sooner? I offer expedited processing with a 1-week turnaround for an additional $175.
Do you give out sneak peeks?
Sometimes! I’ll often grab a few behind-the-scenes video clips during your session to share as a little sneak peek ✨
As for photos—I love keeping the excitement alive and delivering your full gallery all at once, so you get the full impact and magic in one beautiful reveal.
How do we receive our images?
You'll receive a private online gallery link, which you're welcome to share with family and friends! From there, you can download all of your high-resolution images.
I highly recommend saving your gallery not just to your phone, but also to a computer or external hard drive for safe keeping and easy access later!
What should I wear?
I recommend sticking to warm or neutral tones—they photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you! Try to avoid bright or neon colors, since they can reflect oddly on your skin in photos.
As for style? Be you. Whether it’s a cozy tee and jeans or an elegant dress, wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable. When you feel good, it always shows on camera ✨
Should I get my hair and makeup done?
Absolutely—treat yourself! ✨ I always recommend going with a professional. This is a special moment for you, and feeling confident and pampered makes all the difference on camera.

Do you collect retainers?
Yes! A non-refundable retainer of $100 (depending on your session) is required to officially reserve your spot. This amount goes toward your total session fee.
Your date isn’t secured until the retainer is paid—so be sure to get it in to lock in your appointment! The remaining balance is due on the day of your session.
What is your cancellation/reschedule policy?
I totally get that life happens—we’re all human, and I’ll always do my best to work with you & understand! 💛 If something comes up, please contact me as soon as possible.
Retainers are non-refundable, but with at least 24 hours’ notice, your retainer can be transferred to a new date.
However, no-shows or cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will result in your retainer being forfeited.
Running Late?
again, I totally understand that life happens—traffic, outfit mishaps, little ones having a moment—it’s real! That said, I plan my day carefully to give each client the best experience possible, so being on time is key. ⏰
If you're more than 15 minutes late, that time will be deducted from your session—no extra time will be added.
If you're over 25 minutes late, a $100 late fee will be added to your session, and no time will be added.
The most important thing? Communicate with me if you're running behind! I’m here to work with you, not against you 🤍
Traveling Fees?
Yes—a travel fee applies for sessions outside of my local area: SW Florida, including Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs, Alva, Lehigh, Cape Coral, and Babcock Ranch.
I'm also open to traveling anywhere within the U.S.—let’s make your dream location happen! ✈️ Just reach out, and we’ll chat about the details.
Still on the fence?
Ask me anything—seriously, I’m an open book! Whether it’s about the process, outfits, or what to expect, I’m here for you. 💬
And even if you decide I’m not the one for you, I truly pray you have the most beautiful session with the photographer who’s just right for your story. 🤍
