What types of services do you offer?

Why is there a price range?
I offer pricing on a sliding scale to ensure accessibility for all clients. This means that you can pay what is most affordable for you and your family. I understand that not everyone can afford a $400 photoshoot, so I don't want to exclude anyone based on their financial situation. When you see a price range of $150-$300, the minimum amount I will accept is $150, and $300 is the standard charge if I didn't have the sliding scale in place. Please keep in mind that I am a real person trying to cover my expenses, so please respect the sliding scale and avoid taking advantage of it, as it could potentially impact others who rely on this pricing structure.
Payment
Payment will be due the day of your scheduled photoshoot.
Failure to pay will result in not receiving your images.
Lateness
In the event that you arrive at your scheduled photoshoot 30 minutes late, the shoot will be canceled and you will not be able to book with me again. If you arrive within the 30 minutes, your photoshoot will still end at the time it was scheduled to. Please be sure to arrive at least 5-10 minutes ahead of your appointment time to factor in time for parking, walking to the location, etc, so we can get started on time. I understand that life happens, so please communicate with me if you are going to be late and hopefully, we can work something out.
Rescheduling
You can reschedule up to 3 days before your appointment.
Turnaround Time
Turnaround time takes 1-2 weeks for the unedited photos. After you pick your favorites it will be an additional 1-2 weeks for the final photos.
Do I get to choose which images I want selected?
Following your session, I will send you a message with a link to a digital gallery that will have all of your PROOFS (unedited images from the session that have a watermark over it) from there, you'll "heart" the images via the feature in the digital gallery and you should message me when you are done. After you've selected your images, that's when the turnaround time starts. The final gallery will have no watermarks and be fully edited.
Will you pose me?
Yes! Upon booking, I'll send an email shortly after with my Welcome Guide (COMING JULY 2023) which includes: Add-ons, about me, location ideas, poses, and more. I will also pose you at the shoot as well! This is something you do not have to stress about, I got you!
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Ithaca, NY, and Broome County. I do not travel anywhere further than 1.5 hours from Ithaca for portraits but please reach out to double check.
Props
I do not have any props but feel free to bring your own. Please contact me with your ideas before the shoot so I can plan accordingly.
What should I wear?
This is completely up to you but if you need help I have some recommendations:
This is completely up to you but if you need help I have some recommendations:
- Flowy skirts/maxi dresses
- Neutrals basics are the best!!!
- Avoid wearing shirts with big graphics/big lettering
- Patterns are fine but they can also be distracting
- If you are doing a shoot with someone else consider wearing complimentary colors or neutrals
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash, check, or Venmo,
How long do you store files?
I try to store files indefinitely, but I do not guarantee the storage of images once the final gallery is delivered. Once you receive your album I strongly recommend downloading all of the images and storing them in an external hard drive or uploading them online.
Do you give out RAW (unedited) files?
I do not give out my RAW files.
Can I bring a friend/family member?
Of course! You are allowed to bring up to two guests. Guests do not get individual photos, that would be considered a Group Portrait. Guests can come to make you feel more comfortable and/or to join in on a couple of combined shots.
