Where are you based and do you travel?

I am based in southern Illinois. Yes, I love to travel! If you would like me to photograph your story, it will require a travel & hotel fee, depending on where it takes place. No worries though, I always try to find the cheapest way to come!

Where do your sessions normally take place & what time?

Most sessions are done at parks or locations that I have access to. If you have a specific location that you would like to go to, I just charge a little extra for travel! (:

I always prefer to shoot my sessions during the golden hour! This is the hour before sunset!

Do you offer mini sessions?

I only offer Christmas minis during the month of November! I always have two different dates & limited spots available! 

If this is something you're interested in, I recommend booking in advance because they will fill up fast!

When should we contact you to book a session?

I always recommend booking as soon as possible. My schedule fills up pretty fast!

If you are wanting your images by a certain date, I recommend booking your session 3 weeks before that date!

What should we wear?

I highly recommend wearing whatever you're comfortable in.

I will have you moving around a lot during the session. You want to wear something that you feel will look good at any angle!

Try to focus on choosing neutral colors!

I never recommend bright, neon colors. Colors like this can reflect on others' skin.

I love browns, whites, blacks, olive greens, & blue jeans during the fall.

I do not recommend wearing greens during spring & summer. The trees & grass will clash with it!

During the fall, I do not recommend bright, orange clothing because it might clash with the leaves changing colors. you want to stand out in your photos! (:

I also recommend trying to color coordinate. 

If you need anymore help with outfits, just send me a message!

Do you edit out acne?

I always edit out acne, scratches, & bruises.

I also soften skin!

Is it okay for me to wear glasses?

If your glasses are blue light, transitioning, or show glare, I will most likely ask you to remove them!
