What session times do you offer?
A.Most sessions take place in the late afternoon during golden hour, when natural light is at its most flattering. Exact start times may vary slightly depending on the season, and I will confirm the best timing with you the day before or the morning of your session to ensure optimal light and a smooth experience.
What if it rains?
A.In our tropical climate, weather can be unpredictable and flexibility is key. I monitor forecasts closely and will work with you to reschedule your session at the earliest mutually convenient time, most likely the following morning or another morning that week which works for both of us.
Once we've connected via email, I will provide all the details you need to ensure your session goes smoothly, rain or shine.
Where do you photograph sessions?
A.Once we are connected via email, I will share with you my professional beach locations.
Do you travel?
A.Yes. I am based in Destin but will travel for an additional fee. This info will be sent via email once in communication.
What can we expect during our session?
A.Each session is thoughtfully planned to feel relaxed, natural, and easy from start to finish.
Sessions take place at designated beach locations in Destin or along 30A, typically scheduled during golden hour for the most flattering light. Sunrise sessions are available when needed.
During your session, I’ll guide you in a way that feels natural while also leaving space for candid, in-between moments. The result is a collection of images that feel both effortless and timeless.
Final galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks and include a curated selection of fully edited images in my signature true-to-color style. Each gallery is presented in a private online space where you can select your included images or choose to keep additional favorites.
What should my family and I wear?
A.I recommend clothing that feels timeless, comfortable and true to your personal style. Coordinating colors without being overly matching usually creates the most natural and cohesive images. Pastels, soft neutrals or classic tones photograph beautifully in natural light.
Avoid clothing with large logos, busy patterns or distracting graphics, as these can draw attention away from your connection and emotions. I also recommend avoiding dark colors, spray tans or self tanner.
I'm happy to provide guidance on color palettes prior to your session to ensure everyone feels confident and comfortable.
Can we do multiple outfit changes?
A.Due to the nature of the beach and outdoor sessions, I recommend planning for one outfit per session. This ensures we make the most of your time in the best light and location without feeling rushed. Choosing a thoughtfully styled outfit that represents your personal style will allow for timeless, harmonious images.
What if I want to add a surprise proposal during my family session?
A.You most certainly can. However, there is an additional fee that will be added to the remainder balance of the package. This additional cost covers extra time and photos needed for the engagement specific pictures taken.
What is your editing process and turn around time?
A.I am a natural light and true-to-color photographer. My editing style is clean, timeless, and reflective of what is naturally captured during your session. I do not use filters, sky or water replacements, face swapping, or heavily dramatized editing. Images are lightly retouched and carefully curated by me to ensure consistency, quality, and a cohesive final gallery.
Please note that extensive retouching or digital alteration is not part of my editing process, and certain elements such as sunburns or splotchy skin from self-tanner, can be difficult to fully correct.
Your final images will be delivered within 2 - 3 weeks following your session. Turnaround time may vary slightly depending on the season and current workload, but every gallery receives the same level of care and attention.
Images are delivered via a private online gallery, where you can easily view, download, and share your photographs.
Why is the full gallery a better value?
A.Individual images are available at $30 each. Choosing the full gallery offers a reduced per-image investment and allows you to preserve the complete story from your session.
How much does a full gallery cost?
A.Full gallery pricing is based on the size of your final curated collection and reflects preferred per-image pricing.
Exact pricing will be available for review before purchase.
What's included with gallery delivery?
A.Your gallery includes professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered through a private online gallery. Images are ready for viewing, downloading, sharing, and personal use.
