Frequently Asked Questions
Booking & Logistics
How far in advance should I book my session?
To secure your preferred date, I recommend booking 1 to 2 months in advance for portrait, family and lifestyle sessions. For weddings and events, booking 3 to 6 months in advance is best to guarantee availability.
What is required to reserve my date?
A signed agreement and a 30% retainer are required to lock in your date on the calendar. The remaining balance is due prior to or on the day of your session.
Where are you available to shoot?
I am located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and I'm regularly available to shoot thoughout the tri-county area (Miami-Dade, Broward & Palm Beach). However, depending on the location and time of day of the shoot, a travel fee may be charged. I am also available to shoot outside of the tri-county area for an additional fee; please contact me for more information.
What happens if it rains or we need to reschedule?
If outdoor weather conditions make shooting unfeasible (it's Florida... it happens!), we will reschedule your session for the next available mutually agreeable date at no extra charge. Personal reschedules are accommodated free of charge with at least 48 hours' notice.
Preparing for Your Shoot
What should I wear?
Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident! Neutrals, solid colors, and complementary tones photograph exceptionally well. Avoid heavy logos, high-contrast neon colors, or small, tight patterns (like thin stripes) that can create visual distractions on camera. I also provide a full styling guide upon booking.
Can we choose our shoot location?
Absolutely. If you already have a location in mind (a local park, studio, or private home) I'm happy to shoot there. If you’re unsure, I can provide a list of scenic spots based on the look and feel you want. If you are outside of Southeast Florida - that's okay! Outside travel is available for an additional fee.
What if I don't know how to pose?
You don't need to worry about posing, or anything for that matter! I will direct you through natural movement and prompt interactions like sharing a laugh, walking together, or adjusting a jacket, rather than holding stiff, artificial poses. I'll guide you step-by-step so you never have to guess what to do with your hands or where to look. Most of all, just have fun!
