FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

You may schedule using the scheduler here on my site on the "book me" page. If you are seeking a special event or wedding, please send a request through the "contact me" form. Due to Covid-19, I am only providing support to small, intimate gatherings. I expect this to continue through 2021.

Paying ensures clients will show up and bring their best effort. As a freelance photographer, if I do not work, I do not get paid. No-shows prevent other clients from booking. Due to my advanced scheduling, all booking fees are non-refundable should you cancel or no-show. 

If you are seeking time-sensitive photos for a special day like a birthday or anniversary, I recommend booking at least 3 weeks from the date you'd like to have the photos. A rush fee of $100 applies if photos are needed in less than a 2-week window.

While I allow an hour for a session, most clients take about 45-50 minutes, unless children are involved. Once we've exhausted all ideas and desires, we will end the session.

Dress comfortably for your session. I provide minimal editing, therefore your makeup, hair, clothing, nails, etc., should be suitable to your liking. Extensive PhotoShop corrections are time-consuming and are provided at an additional rate only. Feel free to book a consultation to discuss looks, clothing, and ideas for attire.

A one-hour session will typically allow 2 outfits comfortably without rushing. If you require additional time for outfits, let's discuss a custom portrait session to fit your needs.

I suggest using a make-up artist for hair and a stylist/cosmetologist/barber for your hair/skin needs. I have a list of preferred vendors that I can share once you're booked. 

Certainly! Bringing personal items that show more of your style and personality is a great way to make the session as personal as possible. For an infant or toddler, that may mean a favorite toy, blanket, or stuffed animal. For adults, the types of props can vary depending on the session. Contact me for questions.

This depends on the type of session and your desires. We can shoot in the studio or in on location around Eastern NC. I do travel; travel fees are accessed based on the distance, if away from the general Greenville, NC area. Special locations that require a fee 

Generally two-three weeks for a portrait session; 6 weeks for a wedding or event.

One caveat: I do have a full-time job and family responsibilities. Sometimes, life will dictate that I devote more time to those areas. I work my best communicate when those conflicts arise. 

No, you will not. I eliminate duplicate images, test shots, out of focus shots, shots with bad expressions, eye blinks, and other images that I find unsatisfactory to my level of desired quality.

No, you cannot. One session is just that. If you've booked a birthday session, the session is dedicated to that. We cannot include "a few family" poses or things of that nature. If you have multiple requests, they are to be booked separately.
