 FAQs

  • Not one open to the public, no. However, there are several studios around the treasure valley that we can rent out for an additional charge. Each one is gorgeous and well equipped for any type of shoot!

  • Each package varies. Mini sessions include 10 images, Family sessions include 30 images, Adventure sessions include 60 images. You're welcome to choose more images during your gallery preview, just know its $10/each additional image.

  • No, editing is half the magic and without it your images wouldn't be complete! For this reason, I only return a fully edited gallery. However, each session includes a gallery preview for you to pick your favorites + any extras you may want for $10/each additional image over the amount alloted in your package.

  • I only remove anything that's not you! Bruises, scrapes, and blemishes are always included. If you're self conscious about something, let me know so I can keep it in mind while posing you! Otherwise, each image is edited with a bright, clean finish and true to life colors for a timeless look.

  • I'm all for shooting in any type of weather as I feel it adds to the session, making it even more beautiful. However, if you're super uncomfortable with it or the weather is so bad it could ruin my gear/make for a sucky shoot then we will reschedule free of charge to the next available date for both of us. As a rule, I wait up until 2-3 hours before your session to decide if we should continue or not since Idaho weather can be sporadic and change quickly.

  • Once booked you will receive a welcome guide jam packed with all you need to help you choose outfits. You are also more than welcome to send me pics of your outfits to get a second opinion!

  • We both do! Upon booking you will receive a welcome guide filled with many location recommendations to choose from. If you have something specific in mind just let me know and we'll make it work!

    *Mini sessions are the only exception. These particular sessions do have a predetermined location.

  • Absolutely! I love dogs. Just be sure to bring a leash, water and trash bags for any potty breaks. It's always wise to double check that your location is dog approved as well.

  • Deep breaths. The vibe of each session is all about having fun and being laid back! We will be moving and laughing so much I guarantee you'll forget all about the nerves. We will start with a few warm up shots and then move on to the extra fun stuff. Plus, by the time we get to your session we'll know eachother so well it will be like old friends hanging out.

  • Depending on your package, you will have a print credit towards your online gallery. The gallery you receive at the end of your session allows you to order prints directly from it, straight from a high-quality print lab. If you prefer an album, please contact me and we will get it ordered asap.

  • Yes! It's one of my favorite parts. Each session includes a welcome guide that covers outfits, locations, hair & makeup recommendations, day-of tips & tricks, and even what to expect after your session. On top of that, you will get a questionnaire that helps me to fully understand what makes your family so special and unique so I can capture it at your shoot. We can also schedule a 1:1 call/email/zoom to go over any other questions you may have, finalize outfits and discuss your goals for your session. I am here every step of the way to bounce ideas off of, give a second opinion and answer all questions.

  • Very rarely do I have to reschedule, but sometimes life happens and inevitably illness or something else may hit. If this is the case, I will contact you immediately and reschedule for the next available date, ofcourse at no charge. Under certain circumstances I may have another photographer step in for me to avoid rescheduling your session. Please know that any photographer I have fill in for me is 100% vetted and trusted and will treat your session with love and care if I am unable to.

  • 16 years! I started photography at 14. I launched it into a full-time business in 2013 and have been clicking away every since.

  • Every session is guaranteed a maximum turn around time of 2 weeks.

  • All sessions require a 50% non-refundable deposit at booking and 50% 1 week before the session date. If you'd like to break up the final 50% into smaller chunks just let me know and I'll be happy to work with you!

Reschedule must be made within the same calendar year or within 3 months of the original session date. A new deposit will be required for all reschedules made within 3 days of the original session date.

  • I get it, sometimes traffic and/or life is crazy. Just know that any late arrival will have the remaining time allotted. More than 15 minutes late and your session will be marked as a no-show and cancelled, with all money paid forfeited. I always recommend trying to arrive 5-10 minutes early to your session if possible!

  • Golden hour is the most ideal/preferred time of day. This is always 1 hour before sunset. At times this may not work out due to bedtimes or the fact that in the summer here in Idaho sunset isn't until 10pm. If such is the case, reach out to me and we will determine the best time of day based on your session location. For the most part, we can make any time of day work, but its always best to avoid the middle of the day (12pm-4pm) if outdoors.

  • No, I don’t.
