WORKING WITH ME
Q: Do you use AI (Artifical Intelligence) in your photography?
A: Short answer: No, I actively avoid it. I do not use it when editing photographs, and I turn off all permissions for platforms wanting to train their AI models. I don't use it when writing blog articles or creating social media content (I worked in content marketing for 18 years...I can do it very well myself, thank you!).
Longer answer: Artificial Intelligence is quickly permeating our digital tools and world. Since we are still unsure of long-term implications, and I want to protect my clients, I avoid using AI wherever I can. Some software tools have it baked in, but I turn off that functionality where possible.
All that said, the only way to truly avoid AI in photography in today's age is to use film.
Q: How far in advance are you booking?
A: Right now, I am booking out 1-2 weeks. However, if you are looking for a fresh 48 newborn session and baby is arriving soon, I would be happy to chat with you and do my best to accommodate.
Q: What is your photography style?
A: My color style is primarily True-to-Color, which means photos that capture the scenery, environment, & moment in their most authentic form. This comes through with bright, vibrant colors, minimal editing, and no added flash photography. My composition style is Lifestyle Photography, which means capturing real-life moments with gently guided posing and natural body movements.
Q: What health safety protocols do you have for newborn sessions?
A: As a mama who had severe postpartum anxiety during the height of the pandemic, I understand full well the cautions new parents want to take around their precious babies. That's why I'm CPR certified (Jan. 2026 most recent certification). I am happy to wear any PPE that makes you comfortable, ranging from a mask, to shoe booties, to gloves (note that I let parents handle newborns, but I will guide you to make gentle movements and poses). And this applies to any indoor, at-home session, not just newborns!
Q: Do you offer bundle packages for a discount?
A: Yes! This is a very popular option for Maternity & Newborn. I HIGHLY recommend it because once baby comes, it can be very challenging to add something new to your plate. You'll be SO glad you pre-booked and you get to capture the sweet, squishy phase. Plus, when you book a newborn session with me, I come bearing your favorite coffee or tea beverage! If you are a business and want to offer headshots to your team, or if you are interested in booking multiple sessions, I offer a custom discount based on your needs. Let's chat!
Q: Do you offer mini sessions (short and sweet)?
A: Yes! I offer seasonal "Short & Sweet" mini sessions. I will preselect 1-2 locations and you will be able to book at the time that works for you. Each session lasts 20 minutes. These will be advertised primarily on social media and the website, so be sure to check back frequently. I will always offer them for the holidays and Mother's Day.
Your life is a story. Cherish every chapter with timeless photographs that capture your precious moments forever.
