Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
I am based in Marietta, Georgia (30062) and serve families throughout East Cobb, Marietta, and the greater Atlanta area. Sessions are held outdoors, on location, or in studio depending on the vision for your portraits.
What types of sessions do you offer?
I specialize in family portraits, dance photography, and fine art portrait sessions. My work is designed to create timeless, artful images that feel meaningful and lasting.
What is the investment for a session?
The session fee is $250 and includes your consultation and planning, the photography session, professional image preparation, and your guided ordering appointment.
Artwork and digital images are selected separately following your session. Wall art begins at $435 and curated collections begin at $890. All finished artwork includes the corresponding digital files.
Do you offer digital files?
Yes, digital images are available. All wall art and prints come with the corresponding digital files and they are also available a la carte. While digital options are offered, my sessions are thoughtfully designed around creating tangible artwork — albums, framed prints, acrylic pieces, and statement portraits for your home.
How does the booking process work?
The process begins with a brief phone call (no more than 10 minutes) or a short email exchange to ensure we are a good fit and that you are ready to move forward. From there, we schedule a planning consultation via Zoom to discuss wardrobe, location, and how you envision displaying your portraits.
From preparation through final artwork selection, the entire experience is guided, intentional, and thoughtfully designed.
Do you photograph dancers?
Yes. I specialize in photographing dancers and gymnasts, creating expressive portraits that highlight movement, artistry, and strength. For dance sessions, I also offer a curated selection of beautiful dance dresses and skirts to elevate the look and feel of your images.
When will we see our images?
Your images are typically ready within one to two weeks. We will schedule a convenient time to meet and view them together, where you’ll select your artwork and collections.
Is there a minimum purchase required?
No. There is no required minimum. You will only purchase what you absolutely love and feel excited to enjoy in your home.
Why invest in printed artwork?
Printed portraits transform meaningful moments into lasting heirlooms. While digital images are convenient, artwork displayed in your home becomes part of your family’s daily life and legacy.
