Portrait FAQ’s

What can I expect from our lifestyle session?

I adore creating meaningful experiences for creative, adventurous people in search of joy.  I believe in the irreplaceable value of fine art prints that document your unique story in a truly authentic way.  I aim for your client experience to be unforgettable, ridiculously fun, and easy.  Think of me as an old friend who can see the best in you, right from the start.

What should I wear?

Wear a pretty sun dress or your favorite pair of jeans and your go to T-shirt. Neutral or pastel tones with bright, colorful accessories tend to photograph well at the beach. Thin layers can visually add interest to your outfit.  Try and coordinate colors but maybe not in an all white shirt, all khaki pants kind of way ;)

Where will my session take place? How long will it last?

I am on-location natural light photographer, so I go wherever you go. Living on a tropical island affords us a lot of stunning backdrops, whether it's the ocean and sand you crave, lush green foliage, or a fun urban feel.  Mini photography sessions last 30 minutes.  Full photography sessions last up to 90 minutes.

What time of day is best for pictures?

My favorite time of the day for photos is known as magic hour, which takes place around sunrise or sunset.

How much is a portrait session?

Portrait sessions start at $599.

What’s included in the portrait session?

All collections include an online gallery and free instant digital downloads of your professionally edited high resolution images. Not to mention  a pre-session consultation to shape your vision for the shoot, creative direction during your portrait session, laughter, song-singing, exploring, and sometimes even a cookie or latte.

Are the session images included in your collections?

Yes! Session images are included with all the collections, with the option to purchase the entire gallery if you can't leave any behind!
