Frequently Asked Questions

What types of photography do you offer?

I specialize in bespoke portraiture, family sessions, and lifestyle photography. Each session is designed around the client’s vision, with a focus on natural expression, elegant composition, and heirloom-quality results.

How does pricing work?

Pricing is based on the number of final, edited images you choose to receive — not the time spent shooting. This gives you flexibility to select only the images you love. Each delivered image includes full professional editing and a high-resolution digital file. Custom printed products can be delivered if desired.

What’s included in the price of each image?

Each selected image includes:

  • Careful editing and retouching

  • A high-resolution digital file suitable for printing

  • A web-optimized version for sharing

  • Unlimited personal use rights

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions are typically held on location around the Wilmington, North Carolina area or in a studio. I’ll help choose a setting that fits the tone you want—whether it’s a clean studio portrait, a coastal backdrop, or something more personal.

How do I book a session?

You can schedule a consultation directly through the website. Consultations are complimentary and usually take about 30 minutes. They’re a chance to discuss ideas, style preferences, and desired outcomes before confirming a booking.

What should I expect during the session?

We’ll start with a conversation to get you comfortable. I’ll guide you through poses and small adjustments to create natural, flattering images. The pace is relaxed, and there’s plenty of time to get results you’ll love.

How long does a session last?

Most portrait sessions last about an hour. Family or lifestyle shoots may take longer, depending on the setting and number of participants. I do not charge for a specific length of time; I’ll spend as long as needed to get the best results

When will I see my photos?

Within seven days of your session, you’ll receive a private gallery to review and select your favorite images for final editing and delivery.

Can I print the images myself?

Yes. You’ll receive full-resolution digital files with personal printing rights. For the best quality, professional print services are also available through my studio.

Do you retain the copyright?

Yes, the copyright remains with the photographer, but clients receive unlimited, non-commercial usage rights.

What should I wear for my session?

Solid colors work best. Avoid busy prints or large logos. Choose clothing that fits well and makes you feel confident. I’ll share more detailed clothing and makeup tips before your session.

Do you offer retouching?

Yes. All final images include natural retouching—skin tone balance, blemish removal, and color correction—while maintaining a true-to-life look. I like to capture the true character of my subjects

What if I need to reschedule?

Life happens. If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice.

Do you photograph events or weddings?

Not at this time. My focus is on portraiture and fine-art lifestyle work.
