Booking is easy. Start by filling out the inquiry form on my website. I’ll be in touch within 24 hours to confirm availability, walk you through the next steps, and help you choose the session that best fits your needs.

I recommend booking 4–8 weeks in advance, especially for:

• Fall family photo sessions

• Senior portrait sessions

• Branding photography during peak business seasons

If you’re working with a specific deadline, feel free to reach out and we can look at options together.

Yes. A non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your session date, with the remaining balance due a few days before your session.

Things happen! You may reschedule once with at least 48 hours’ notice. Outdoor sessions affected by weather can be rescheduled at no additional cost. Please note that my calendar does fill and be respectful of my time and the time of my other clients.

Your photo shoot can take place outdoors, in my studio in downtown Bend, or at a location that fits your vision, such as your home or workspace. I’m happy to suggest locations based on lighting, season, and the overall look and feel you’re going for.

A professional headshot is typically a clean, polished image used for LinkedIn, company websites, and professional bios.

A personal branding photography session includes a wider variety of images that showcase your personality, business, and brand story—ideal for websites, social media, marketing materials, and content creation.

Yes—posing guidance is included in every session! I guide you through natural poses and prompts so you feel relaxed and confident, even if you’ve never been professionally photographed before. Trust me, I hate being in front of the camera myself. I got you!

Figuring this out can be stressful!

After booking, you’ll receive a session prep guide with outfit tips, color recommendations, and guidance on how to feel confident on camera.

• Branding & headshots: clean, polished, brand-aligned outfits

• Families & seniors: neutral tones and coordinated colors photograph beautifully

Yes. Personal branding sessions and senior portraits often include multiple outfit changes. We’ll plan these ahead of time so your session runs smoothly. Please note that “Express Headshot” Sessions and “The Moment” Senior Portrait Sessions do not allow time for an outfit change.

As a former teacher of over 20 years, connection and authenticity are at the very heart of my work as a photographer. People can’t get the photos they want when they don’t feel comfortable, and that means it’s my job to get to know you a little and work to get you feeling confident and at ease. I thrive on communication and relationships, and I think my clients appreciate these things when it comes to working with me.

You can reach me anytime via my contact page or email. I always aim to respond quickly—usually within 24 hours or less.

I have starting packages listed on my website, but every client has unique needs. I pride myself on being flexible and will always provide detailed quotes before we work together.

Easy going and fun! Having a photo taken isn’t a favorite activity for most folks, so I try to keep it light, give clear direction, and maintain a truly collaborative spirit!

Things happen and the truth is, sometimes kids are gonna have a mind of their own…even on picture day. For that reason, family sessions are relaxed and flexible. I allow space for movement and natural interaction, which often leads to genuine, candid moments—especially with young children. A little more time is built into family sessions so we can pivot and whether any storm that might come!

Absolutely. Seniors are encouraged to bring items that reflect who they are, such as sports gear, musical instruments, pets, or meaningful personal items.

Clients receive a curated online proofing gallery featuring the best, unedited images from their session. You’ll choose the number of images depending on the package and session type. Every image is professionally edited and you’ll receive the high resolution edited digitals usually within 2 weeks after you’ve made your selections.

Images are delivered through a private online gallery, where you can view, download, and share your photos easily.

Yes. High-quality prints, wall art, and albums are available directly through your gallery. These products are designed for long-term quality and display. And I work with a small print lab out of Minnesota, so everything is proudly made is the U.S.A.!

Yes. Clients may use their images for personal and business use, including websites and social media. Images should not be altered with filters or additional editing. Tagging my business when sharing is always appreciated.

Final images are archived for a limited time. Clients are encouraged to download and back up their galleries as soon as they are delivered.

If you’re ready to book or still have questions about branding photography, headshots, family photos, or senior portraits, feel free to reach out. I’m here to make the process simple, stress-free, and enjoyable!
