Let's get you in my calendar before spots fill up. The best lighting is a couple hours prior to sunset. Sessions range from thirty minutes - two hours.

FAQs
When and how do I pay?
A 10% non-refundable deposit is required upon booking to secure your spot in my calendar. The remaining balance will be due at the end of our session. I take Venmo, cash, or check. I do not take credit card. Please be sure you have your payment method ready and available before showing up to your photoshoot.
What happens if it rains?
Colorado weather can be unpredictable at times. To avoid rescheduling, I recommend still showing up on time so that we can wait it out. Oftentimes, the rain will stop after 5-10 minutes. If it doesn't, we can discuss a new day and time to meet.
How do we determine the location for the photoshoot?
I send you a list of locations to choose from. You can either choose a location from the list I provide, or you can recommend your own location. If the location exceeds 20 miles outside of my recommended list, a $30-$50 travel fee will be added on.
Where do I change outfits?
Be prepared to change in your car. If doing a multi-location session, and assuming you have somebody to drive, it is helpful and saves a lot of time to change in route to the next location. I also provide a portable pop-up pod (single person) that I can set up if you prefer not to change in your car. Please bring a pair of close-toes shoes to change into for potential hiking trails and longer walks to our location.
Can I include my dog in my photos?
Yes, as long as your dog is on a leash. Please have another person present to watch the dog. You may also bring any special props to make your photos special and unique to you!
How many photos will I receive?
The package you sign up for will determine the amount of photos you receive. Please refer to my Pricing & Rates page for more information.
Can I post my photos?
Absolutely! Please be sure to give me photo credits or tag my Instagram account. Please do not add additional edits to the photos I deliver to you.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Aside from the 10% non-refundable deposit, there are no additional fees for canceling or rescheduling. The deposit secures your spot in case you need to reschedule. We will discuss a new date and time, but spots may be limited.
Do I have to pay for parking?
This depends on where and when we have our session. Most places have free parking after 6 p.m. Some places that may charge for parking are Manitou Springs, downtown Colorado Springs and Phoenix, the Olympic Museum, and national parks. Paying for my parking is not required, but greatly appreciated.
What if I'm not very good at posing?
No worries! I'll help instruct you on how to pose so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I'll often do the pose with you and have you mirror me. I might even show you an inspiration photo to help you visualize my goal for the overall look.
Can I bring family members to my photo session?
Yes! Be sure they stay behind me so that they aren't accidentally photo bombing. I offer to take a photo of you with your guests near the end of our session, so be sure they are wearing proper attire (including comfortable walking shoes).
How long does it take for me to receive my photos?
It typically takes me about a week - two weeks to edit most sessions. For school formals like Homecoming and Prom, I try to get those photos sent within 48 hours so they're ready to post after the event. During the editing process, I will send you a few sneak peeks.
How do I download my photos?
I will send you an email with a link to your private gallery. From there, you can download the entire gallery, or individual shots that you like. The gallery will expire after 6 months.
Do you sell prints?
No, I do not sell prints. If you would like to print the photos you receive from your session, I recommend printing through Walmart Photos or Shutterfly for affordable prints!
