Frequently asked questions

  • Posing

    The most common question I get asked is "Am I supposed to know what to do?"... and the answer is NO! I direct you from start to finish. PLUS I have lots of little tricks to make you comfortable and capture your pure, joyous energy.

  • outfits

    If you're not a “lingerie” person, you don't have to wear it now! I want to celebrate you as you are. I've photographed folks in everything from their birthday suit to fully clothed.

  • nudity

    Nudity is not required during your session, however, many folks like to give it a shot. I recognize that nudity is a sensitive subject for some, and strive to make you as comfortable as possible during the session. Your pre-session questionnaire will ask you a series of questions related to your comfort with nudity and partial nudity. It is not mandatory to be nude in my space, however, some folks do change their mind and decide to try some nude poses after the session starts and get more comfortable.

  • body hair

    If body hair is something that you embrace and makes you YOU, then no shaving needed! However, If you choose to shave, please be aware that razor burn may be visible on camera, so if you have sensitive skin, then leave a few days between shaving and your session.

  • hair + makeup

    I do not offer hair + makeup. However, if you’d like to hire an artist(s), they are welcome to come to the studio before your session to help you. Please contact me directly if you are hiring a hair and/or makeup artist for your session.

  • friends + other guests

    Please do not bring anyone to the studio who is not participating in the session. It's can be distracting and difficult for you to relax and enjoy the session when someone you know is watching. Any guest(s) will be asked to leave upon arrival. I am here to be your cheerleader and biggest advocate - I promise to do my best to make you feel supported and comfortable during our time together.

  • spray tans

    If you choose to get a spray tan before your session, please do it a few days beforehand and not on the same day. The tanning solution may damage studio furniture and/or linens and you will be charged to replace them.

  • drugs & alcohol

    If you are visibly intoxicated in the studio, you may be asked to leave and no refunds will be given.

  • no photoshop, slimming, or altering

    The only editing I do is cropping and color adjustments. That means, I don't use any programs to slim you, smooth you, or alter your appearance. I remove small blemishes by request only.

  • deposits

    A $50 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking in order to secure your session date and time. You will be invoiced for the session balance separately and it will reflect the remaining balance and your deposit at paid. The session balance must be paid according to your desired payment plan.

  • payment plans

    Payment plans are available with up to 5 separate payments, with options to be completed prior to or after your session. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in a payment plan. Session payments must be completed in accordance with your payment plan.

  • image sharing

    There is absolutely ZERO expectation or pressure for me to share your images from your session. I only share images from your session with explicit permission, and only ones that you feel most comfortable sharing. Once you receive your gallery, you will have the option to select some (or none!) of the images to allow me share them on my social media, website, and promotional materials.

    As the client, you are permitted to share any images from your session however you choose. However, you must tag me if positing on social media, and post the images as delivered. Any cropping, editing, or altering of your images is prohibited.
