Frequently Asked Questions
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens. If you need to reschedule, just let me know as soon as possible. As long as you give me at least 2 weeks' notice, we can move your session to a new date with no penalty. Less than 2 weeks and your session fee is forfeited, but we can discuss options.
Can I bring someone with me for support?
Absolutely. You're welcome to bring a friend, partner, or family member to be there during hair and makeup. However, during the actual shoot, I find that clients are more relaxed and authentic when it's just us. Your support person is welcome to wait in the lounge area and rejoin you for the reveal.
What if I'm running late on session day?
Text me immediately and we'll adjust. I build buffer time into every session, so being 10-15 minutes late won't ruin anything. If you're going to be significantly late, we may need to shorten the shoot slightly to stay on schedule, but we'll make it work.
How do I prepare my skin/body for the session?
Your welcome guide covers all of this in detail, but the basics: stay hydrated in the days leading up, moisturize well, avoid new skincare products that might cause reactions, and get good sleep the night before. Beyond that? Show up as you are. I'll handle the rest.
How long until I receive my final products after ordering
 Digital files: 7-10 days for final editing, then delivered via secure download or USB.
 Prints and wall art: 2-3 weeks from order to delivery.
 Albums: 4-6 weeks (they're custom-made and worth the wait).
Everything ships with tracking, and I'll keep you updated throughout the process.
