FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before Your Session
Do you travel for sessions?
Yes! I love traveling and have photographed in cities across California and beyond. Travel fees apply for locations outside of Fresno/Clovis
Can I bring someone to my shoot?
Absolutely! Bring a friend, sibling, or parent
Whoever helps you feel the most comfortable and confident in front of the camera at your shoot. We will get a few pictures with them too (at no extra charge! cause that's weird)
Can I bring props or my pet?
Yes! Whether it’s your dog, your guitar, or your cap and gown — I love when clients bring personal touches that make their photos even more special and true to them.
HOW DO LOCATIONS WORK?
I will send you a location guide upon booking!
You can choose the location, or I can suggest one for you based on the style you’re aiming for.
If you have somewhere meaningful in mind, I’m always open to new ideas
During Your Session
Can I change outfits?
Outfit changes depend on the session package you choose — some include multiple looks! If your package allows it, bring a few outfit options that show different sides of your personality
What happens if it rains?
If the weather isn’t cooperating, don’t worry — we’ll reschedule for the next available sunny day. Your photos deserve great light, and I’ll make sure they get it!
Do you retouch photos?
I do light retouching (like skin smoothing, blemish removal, and flyaway fixes), but I always keep everything looking natural. My goal is to enhance, not change, what’s already beautiful!
Do you take candid photos too?
Yes! Some of my favorite moments come from the in-betweens — laughing, fixing your hair, or walking between shots. Candid photos are the best way to capture your real personality.
Will you help me with posing?
Absolutely. I’ll guide you through everything!! from natural prompts to poses that fit your vibe.
My goal is to make you feel confident and comfortable the entire time.
After Your Session
How soon will I get my photos back?
Galleries are typically delivered within 2–3 weeks, but I usually get them done much sooner (like within a week depending on the season!)
