Photo/Video Session time frame? Sometimes the session may end sooner than your time frame if we have gotten the desired look/outcome. We will not shoot to just shoot to "fill up the time". Once we have achieved our goals, the session will end.

My newborn,child,kid is just not cooperating, what can we do? I do understand that kids are completely random,especially when the spotlight is on them and a random man is holding a camera in front of them, however, I have a high volume of clients and so we must still adhere to our schedule. I suggest practicing with your child before your session that way it does not feel like a completely new experience.
What happens if I am Late? Call/Text to let me know. We can still shoot your session, but be aware that you do NOT get EXTRA time. Be mindful it is most likely another session right behind you.
Can I cancel my session or reschedule? Yes of course, I will however retain your deposit, but if dates permit, we can reschedule on the calendar. Wedding Cancellations.

I'm shy or I've never taken pictures before, will you help me pose? Yes, I will give you some minor insight, but for a fee, a professional Creative Director can be brought in to assist you during your session.
I do not know what kind of pictures I want to take, can you help? Most of my clients I know, some I don't, so each personality is different, therefore I don't know what YOU want. If you have a idea, I will help you create your vision, but we need a base first, which I allow for YOU to decide for YOUR pictures.
