Your Session- What to Expect From Start to Finish

Pre-Session

  • You're Booked

    After you book your session, you will get an email from me to begin planning. If you have questions at all, I’m always available to help. Just ask!

  • Let's Piece it Together

    During this step, you will receive access to the Client Lounge, and you will begin coordinating your outfits and props and choosing the perfect location for your photo session.

  • Session Reminders

    About one week before your session, I will send you some last-minute reminders along with a link to pay the balance of your session. 

Day of the Session

On the day of your session, feel free to reach out to me with any questions. At your session, sit back, relax and enjoy while I capture this amazing milestone for you.

Post-Session

  • Sneak Peaks

    Within a few days after your session, I will send you a sneak peek of some of my favorites from your session in a text or email. If you signed a model release, you will also be able to see the sneak peeks on my socials. Feel free to share in your own stories. If you prefer to keep your photos private, that’s no problem! Your session images will not be shared on my socials.

    About a week after I deliver your products, I will check in one last time to make sure you were happy with everything. If you loved your experience and love your photos, please consider leaving a 5-star review!
