FAQ

Will you help with posing?

Yes, I do help with posing for all of my sessions! Several of my clients say they feel awkward in front of the camera, and some have never done a photoshoot in the past. This isn't a problem! I will help guide you through every pose by giving you prompts and demonstrating the pose myself.

Are travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?

All sessions receive no additional travel expenses within 45 minutes of Peoria, IL. If you have decided to book one of my Premium packages you can enjoy up to 90 minutes of comped travel expenses. Beyond those limits, my travel fee is $50 per hour of travel.

If you're looking to book in Chicago, there are specific days I have available with no travel fee.

What is the best time for a session?

For outdoor sessions, lighting is usually best in the late afternoon or early evening hours right before sunset. That golden hour lighting is beautiful, as long as the weather permits. I also love an overcast sky, so no matter what, we can make it work! I completely understand that golden hour timing isn't practical for all families. After you inquire, we will discuss these details and find a time that works best for your family!

Where should we have our session?

Your couples, portrait, boudoir, and creative concept sessions can take place outdoors, in home, in my studio, or maybe you want to rent a studio you like. If you aren't sure where you'd like to pick as your location, I am more than happy to help. During my consultation prior to booking, I will chat with you about some of my favorite locations in the area we could plan your session for!

What happens in the event of rain or other extreme weather?

If your session is scheduled for outdoors, I'll be watching the weather forecast the day of our session. If it looks like it will rain, I will be in touch via text or email and make the decision whether or not to postpone. I like to wait as late as possible to actually postpone because stormy skies right before or after rain are absolutely gorgeous, so if it’s not raining, we will be out there shooting! If there is other extreme weather coming during your sessions, such as tornados or high air pollution, we will discuss our options and reschedule if needed. In the case of any postponement, I will try to accommodate your session as soon as my schedule allows.

What is the difference between a Portrait session & a Creative Concept session?

Portrait sessions are classic and straightforward, focusing on capturing you in a clean, timeless way. They typically require minimal props or setup and are great for things like birthdays, graduations, and personal milestones.

Creative Concept sessions, on the other hand, are built around a specific theme or artistic vision. These sessions involve more planning and may include custom props, sets, wardrobe styling, and detailed concepts to bring a unique idea to life. They're perfect for clients looking for something bold, stylized, or storytelling-driven.

What types of sessions are included under your Portrait packages?

My portrait packages are designed for graduations, birthdays, portfolio building, dancers, or simply capturing memories for fun.
