Frequently Asked Questions

  • A mini session is a short, focused portrait session — 15 to 25 minutes — for individuals, couples, and small families. You book a specific time slot at no cost, arrive ready, and we shoot. Within 1 to 3 business days you receive a private gallery link by email to browse your images and purchase what you love. There is no obligation to buy everything, or anything at all. Links are valid for 2 weeks.

  • Booking is completely free. No session fee, no deposit. You only pay for the images you choose to purchase after reviewing your private gallery.

  • Typical galleries consist of 20-60 photos depending on the group size.

    Galleries are lightly retouched before being sent to your email.

    Your gallery link will be valid for 2 weeks from sent date. Please browse and place any orders before then.

  • Yes. These sessions work well for individuals, couples, and small families. Larger groups may feel rushed in a 15 to 25 minute window — reach out before booking if you are unsure whether your group size is a good fit.

  • Outdoor sessions are weather-dependent. If conditions require rescheduling, you will be contacted at least 24 hours in advance with options. We do not shoot in rain or severe weather — light overcast is generally fine given the flash setup.

  • We specialize in exactly that. Most people who sit down with us say the same thing, and the majority leave genuinely happy with how they look. We handle every pose and angle from start to finish — you just show up.

  • Solid, coordinated tones photograph best. Avoid busy patterns or large logos. If you are coming as a couple or family, aim to complement rather than match exactly — similar color families work well. Arrive dressed and ready; there is no changing area at the session.

  • Studio sessions are shot indoors with professional lighting and a clean backdrop — polished, controlled, consistent. Outdoor sessions are shot on location with off-camera flash, so you get a natural environment as the backdrop with the same quality of light as a studio. Neither is weather-dependent for quality — outdoor sessions may reschedule in rain, but the results are not reliant on sunlight or time of day.
