I am based out of La Crosse, Wisconsin.

What is included in a Mini - Session?
A Mini-Session includes one location, 30 fully edited photos, and typically takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour (up to 1.5 hours for newborn sessions due to additional set-up time required)
What is included in a Full-Session?
A Full-Session includes up to 3 locations, 3 outfits, the full album of edited photos, and typically takes between 2-3 hours depending on distance between locations, amount of time needed to change outfits, etc.
What kind of editing do you do?
I do full color/lighting editing, basic skin re-touching, teeth whitening, and eye enhancement to all photos through Lightroom and Photoshop. For the best-of-the-best photos, I can also do full skin re-touching, additional re-touching such as double-chin removal, special effects, face-swaps for less-than-cheerful toddlers, adding in relatives that have passed, special effects, and much more. I do this all at no extra charge, however depending on the amount of additional editing you would like, I may charge an extra fee.
How many photos will I receive?
For a Mini-Session, I will send you 30 fully edited photos. For a Full-Session, I will send you the entire album of fully edited photos. This is typically between 75-100 photos, sometimes up to 125 for shoots that are done in multiple locations with multiple outfits.
What happens if we have to cancel due to bad weather?
I am very flexible with re-scheduling. I do not charge any cancellation fees and you can re-schedule at any time!
What is your typical timeline?
This varies based on the size of the shoot. I also work as a full time RN so my work schedule may affect this as well. For small sessions, I can typically deliver finished albums within 1-2 weeks. For larger sessions and Weddings, my goal is to have them done in 4-6 weeks depending on size and if there is any extra custom editing required. I will keep you updated along the way and will send you sneak-peak images before your final album is complete.
How will I receive my photos?
When I am done with your final album, I will send you a link to your email so that you can download the entire album or individual photos. You can also share this link with family and friends for them to download. If you would like a physical copy as well, I can provide you with a flash drive with all of your photos at no additional charge.
When is payment due?
Payment is due on or before the day of the session unless previously discussed and agreed upon. At this time I do not charge a retainer fee or down payment so you just have to make a one-time payment.
What payment methods are available?
I accept payment via cash, check, Venmo, and PayPal.
Do you offer any discounts?
Refer a friend and if they schedule a session with me, you get $25 off your regular session or $100 off for your wedding. I also offer the same deal to repeat customers for their next session. If you book a maternity and newborn session with me, you get $50 off the newborn session.
Do you have an online store?
Yes, I do! When you receive your link to your online gallery, you can add products to your cart and check out directly from that link. You are absolutely NOT obligated to purchase from my store. Although I do get a small commission, these orders are produced and fulfilled by a third-party company. I offer the store with your online gallery if you are looking for a quick, easy, and convenient way to order prints or other products all in one stop. There are many other online services out there and your downloads are yours to do with what you wish!
