Frequently Asked Questions

I'm located in Alabama, in the Huntsville-Madison area.

You may contact me anytime during the week by phone or email. I will respond within 24 hours. My weekly sessions are usually done Monday - Friday from 6pm - 8pm, depending on the time of year due to changes in sunset times, and on Saturdays and Sundays between 6am - 8pm

Yes I do! :)

You can book a session by clicking "Contact" at the top of the page, if you're viewing this on your desktop or laptop. If you're viewing from your phone, click on Menu, and then "Contact" This will lead you to a form to fill out. It just lets me know who you are and what you're looking for. I usually respond within a few hours, and sometimes sooner - unless I'm on vacation, or it is after business hours. You can also message me on Instagram, text me, or send me an email. Please let me know if you have any questions! :)

The only thing you need to bring is Beautiful You...and of course the kids, or whoever is going to be in the portrait with you, lol. 

If you are doing two locations, and you have an outfit for each, then be sure to bring both of those, and any accessories you might need, for example - any makeup for touch-ups, a comb for fly-aways, anything like that for those "just in case" moments.

I'll also have a few things with me.

If you have small children or pets that will be part of the session, bring favorite snacks or treats, and maybe a couple of their smaller favorite toys. This helps when trying to get their attention. ;)

I have a Pricing Guide here, on my website. Click on "Pricing" and then click on the link. That will give you an idea of what to expect for the session itself. I will work with you, so if there is something you need, that you do not see listed, go ahead and contact me. If it is within my scope of services, I am happy to discuss it. 😊

I also offer customized products in my store, such as albums that include favorite pictures from the session, as well as canvases and prints, which can be purchased for an additional price, separate from the session. You can have your pick of paper, finish, and material. I offer customized announcements, cards, etc, all offered at an additional price. 

I have an Etsy Store where I offer other special products, such as mugs, tumblers, shirts, blankets, totes and pillows...pretty much anything you want to put your favorite pictures on! My store is UrbanCanvasDesigns and you can purchase any of these customized items for an additional price. They make wonderful gifts & keepsakes for family members or yourself!

That depends totally on you! When you contact me for your session, we will discuss what type of session you want...there are so many different ways to go...and it just depends on the style you're looking for. 

For example, do you want light, airy, flowy, romantic? Or do you prefer casual, woodsy, not quite so bright? Maybe a little darker? Are you wanting colorful family photos that are vibrant or something light and soft..

One thing you can be assured of, is that whatever you're looking for in your session, we will discuss. You don't have to worry because I'm here if you need me. I can help you choose what colors and styles to put together, to accomplish your goals for the session. 

I have style guides that I can send you once we decide what you're looking for! You're welcome to bounce ideas off of me. I'm happy to help! :)

When you book your session, we will discuss all of the details, including your preferred location. If you have a specific location in mind, I'm happy to accommodate! (Providing there are no restrictions specified by the location owner that would prevent me from being able to photograph there)

Some locations require an additional fee for photographers. In that situation, the fee would be added into the price of your session. 

Yes, I am happy to come to your house and do your session. I understand that this is especially helpful with newborns and young children. In this situation, we would set up a time for me to come to your home, prior to your session, and find the most suitable place or places to photograph. If the session is indoors, I would be looking for rooms that have good natural light and get some ideas on how we might want to rearrange furniture for the session, if needed. 

If the session is outdoors, I would be looking for ideas for the best background choices and lighting situations. And of course, all of this is dependent on what your goals are and what you hope to achieve for your portraits. 

Yes! I am willing to travel for an additional fee. Any additional travel expenses, such as gas mileage, airfare, and hotel expenses will be discussed and included in your contract.
