Frequently Asked Questions
Because great photos start with great answers.

A 30% non-refundable deposit holds your spot; the balance is due before your session.

For weekends or golden hour, plan for 4–6 weeks ahead.

Wear what makes you feel confident. Skip big logos and super-busy prints. After booking, I’ll send a short
Style Guide with outfit tips and color ideas for the season.
Where will the session take place?+
I shoot across the DMV—parks, city streets, cozy at-home sessions. Not sure? I’ll suggest locations that fit your vibe and light.
Do you travel for sessions?+
Yes! Travel within 15 miles of Silver Spring, MD is included; beyond that a small travel fee applies.
Beach days and mountain views encouraged.
How many photos will I receive?+
Most packages don’t include a guaranteed minimum number of images, and the ones that do vary by package. I focus on quality over quantity so you can trust that every delivered image is an epic keeper--No filler shots, just frame-worthy moments.
When will I get my photos?+
Portraits: 2–3 weeks.
Weddings/events: 4–6 weeks.
Every delivered image is hand-edited.

Your photos are delivered through a beautiful Pic-Time online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images with family and friends. You can also order professional prints and custom albums directly from your gallery for a seamless experience.
Do you retouch all the photos?+
Yes—light retouching (color, exposure, minor blemishes) on all delivered images.
Heavier edits (skin smoothing, object removal, etc.) are available as an add-on.
What if the weather is bad?+
Cloudy and misty can be gorgeous. If the forecast is all-day downpour or unsafe, we’ll reschedule at no extra cost.
