I recommend reaching out at least one week in advance whenever possible. This gives us enough time to discuss your session, choose a location, plan around lighting and weather, and make sure your preferred date is available.

Last-minute sessions may still be possible depending on availability, so you’re always welcome to ask.

Start by contacting me with the type of photography you’re looking for, your preferred date, and anything you already have in mind for the session.

From there, we’ll discuss availability, location, pricing, and the details of your shoot. Your session is officially reserved once the required retainer has been received.

Yes. A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your session date and time. The retainer is applied toward the total cost of your session, with the remaining 50% due on the day of the shoot.

Your session is officially booked once the retainer has been received.

The remaining 50% balance is due on the day of your scheduled session. Any additional services or advanced editing requested after the session will be discussed separately.

I understand that plans can change. If you need to reschedule, please contact me at least 48 hours before your scheduled session.

One reschedule is permitted, subject to availability, and your original retainer will transfer to the new date.

Because your session date and time have been reserved specifically for you, the 50% booking retainer is non-refundable if the session is cancelled.

If you’d prefer to move the session rather than cancel it, please contact me at least 48 hours in advance and your retainer can be transferred to one rescheduled date.

Rescheduling requests made less than 48 hours before the scheduled session will normally result in the original retainer being forfeited. A new 50% retainer will then be required to reserve another date.

I understand that genuine emergencies and unexpected situations happen, and those circumstances may be handled individually at my discretion.

A missed session without notice is considered a no-show and the booking retainer will be forfeited. A new retainer will be required to schedule another session.

In the unlikely event that I need to cancel your session, you may choose to reschedule and have all payments transferred to the new date, or receive a refund of the amount you’ve paid.

That depends on the look and feel you’re after. I photograph throughout Jacksonville and Northeast Florida and can help recommend locations based on your session, lighting, scenery, and overall vision.

If you already have a meaningful location in mind, I’m happy to work with that as well.

Florida weather can change quickly, so I keep an eye on conditions leading up to outdoor sessions.

If weather conditions would prevent us from creating the quality of images we planned for, we’ll work together to adjust the time or choose another date. Weather-related rescheduling initiated by me does not require an additional retainer.

Choose something that feels like you and that you’re comfortable wearing. For couples and families, coordinated colors generally photograph better than everyone wearing identical outfits.

If you’re unsure, feel free to send me a few options before the session and I’ll be happy to offer guidance.

Absolutely. You aren’t expected to arrive knowing how to pose. I’ll provide direction throughout the session while keeping things relaxed so the photographs still feel natural and authentic.

Definitely. Reference images, mood boards, locations, or even a general feeling you’re trying to create can all be helpful. We’ll use those ideas as inspiration while creating photographs that are unique to your session.

Yes. I regularly work throughout Northeast Florida and am open to projects outside the Jacksonville area. Depending on the location and scope of the project, a travel fee may apply.

I do not currently offer wedding-day photography. My work focuses on portraits, couples, engagements, families, events, real estate, automotive, food, and commercial photography.

The number of finished photographs depends on the type and length of your session. Your package will clearly state the number of professionally edited images included before you book.

Every final image receives professional color correction, exposure and skin-tone adjustments, light blemish retouching, and removal of minor distractions when appropriate.

My editing style is natural and polished. I want you and the scene to look their best without making the photograph feel artificial or heavily filtered.

More involved Photoshop work — such as major object removal, extensive alterations, clothing changes, or other complex edits — is considered advanced retouching and may require an additional fee.

If you have something specific in mind, just ask and I’ll let you know what’s possible.

Finished client galleries are delivered as professionally edited, high-resolution JPEG images. RAW files are unfinished working files and are not normally included with portrait or personal photography sessions.

Commercial projects with specific file requirements can be discussed separately before booking.

Turnaround varies by project, but most portrait sessions are delivered within approximately 3–5 days after final selections are made. Larger events and commercial projects may require additional time depending on the number of images and editing involved.
