FAQ

Where are you located? And do you travel?

A.I am located in Edwardsville, IL (about 30 minutes outside of St. Louis, MO). I serve all surrounding areas and will travel up to 1 hour outside of my hometown. There is a $25 travel fee for locations more than 30 miles away.

When and where do sessions take place?

A.Sessions take place outdoors during golden hour (1 hour before sunset) for lighting purposes or in studio (typically in the morning) I do NOT book sessions outdoors at any other time.

What's your gallery turn-around time?

A.Galleries are typically sent within 1-2 weeks after your session. Galleries may take longer during busier times of the year (such as in the fall), but this will be communicated. I will post sneak peeks from some sessions to my Facebook page, but I will not do this for all sessions.

What should we wear?

A.I'd love to help you plan outfits! I suggest wearing something that's comfortable, neutral colors (earth tones), and avoid busy patterns and logos. You're always welcome to send me outfit ideas and I will give my opinions. I also have a client closet that includes various women's dresses and some outfits for children. Reach out to me if you'd like to see what is available!

What is your rescheduling policy?

A.The retainer is non refundable but is able to be transferred to a new date as long as we have at least a two weeks notice. Rain happens, but we will work together to move your session if absolutely need be. Rescheduling for weather is only permitted by me.
