SESSION INFORMATION

Do I have to be nude?​

Absolutely not. "Intimate" is an attitude. It's a vibe. It's not a wardrobe. I will respect your boundaries whether you decide you want to be fully clothed, fully nude, or somewhere in between. It's not uncommon for people to push the edges of their comfort zone a bit and this is a safe place to do that. My shooting area is a judgment-free zone.

I don't look like the people on your website, is this for me?

The people on my website don't think they look like the people on my website! But obviously they do. The people on my website are scientists, Target addicts, wives, Colts fans, country chicks, Anthropologie shoppers, moms, and no different than you. I haven't shaved a single pound off any body on this website in Photoshop and as you can see, I don't need to.

​​

How much editing will there be? I've got this part of me I really want Photoshopped.

While I fully edit the photos for technical things you don't need to worry about, I encourage you to embrace yourself as is and see the things you consider to be imperfections as part of who you are. I lightly retouch so that things like blemishes are gone. But if it will be there next month, I consider it part of you and have no intention of removing it. If you want a more magazine look with full sculpting, you will likely prefer another photographer. 

​

Where will my session take place?

I no longer have a studio, so you provide the location. If your house is free of clutter and you want an in-home session, I do those. If you have land or a barn and want to do it there, I will likely be able to accommodate you. Some people even rent a hotel or AirBnB for a shoot with me. There is usually some place nearby where we can shoot outdoors, too. 

​

Why do you no longer have a studio?

For many reasons. The first and most obvious is the studio I occupied until 2019 was sold. Also, I get creatively stagnant shooting in the same place. I have seen countless studios from every angle imaginable and am proud that my portfolio is diverse in its settings. A third major reason is I wasn't happy with the accessibility of my studio. I welcome all bodies and my studio wasn't easy to get to for people with mobility disabilities. 

​​​

Who is going to see these photos? Will I end up on your website or social media?

You are in control of who sees your photos. Yes, I want to share success and empowerment stories, but only with your consent. Everyone you see on this website or on any of my social media has proudly allowed me to share their images. I understand that because of your employment, your own modesty, or any other number of reasons that you might not want your face and/or name publicly displayed. I respect that and will not violate your trust.

​​​

When will I get my photos?

You will see images on the back of the camera as I shoot, but expect fully edited images to take 4-8 weeks after you've made your selections.
