Frequently Asked Questions
How long do sessions last?
Signature Portrait sessions last from 90 minutes to 2 hours. Custom editorial sessions are available and can last several hours. We will discuss your specific needs during our Discovery Call!
What does the session retainer include?
Your session retainer reserves your portrait experience and includes your pre-session planning consultation, professional hair and makeup, including on-set touch-ups throughout your portrait session, guided studio portrait session, and private image review appointment.
Portraits, artwork, albums, and digital images are purchased separately, allowing you to invest only in what you truly love.
Do you offer hair and makeup styling?
I work with some of the best hair and makeup teams in the area and highly recommend professional styling for men and women before your session. This service is included in your session retainer.
Do I need to know how to pose?
Not at all! My job is to make sure you are comfortable and will guide and direct you through the process.
How will I choose my images?
For the Head shot Mini Session, your image selections are made immediately after your session, with final retouched images delivered within 72 hours.The Signature Portrait Session includes a private in-person reveal and ordering appointment.
You’ll view your portraits on a large monitor, select your favorites, and choose the images that best reflect how you want to be seen.
I hate being photographed. Can you help?
Absolutely. In fact, many of my clients begin by telling me exactly that.
Most people are not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, and that is completely normal. My role is to guide you through the entire process with clear direction, intentional posing, and a relaxed approach that helps you feel comfortable and confident. You do not need to know how to pose or “be photogenic.” That is what I am here for.
What should I wear?
Choose clothing that feels polished, well-fitting, and aligned with how you want to be seen professionally. Solid colors, clean lines, and timeless pieces photograph beautifully, while overly busy patterns, distracting logos, or trend-heavy pieces can pull attention away from you. If your session includes multiple looks, variety in color, neckline, or layering can help create a more versatile image collection.
After booking, you will receive a preparation guide with additional wardrobe guidance to help you feel fully prepared.
Where is your studio located?
The studio is located in Mandeville, Louisiana, near the exit of the Causeway Bridge. the address is 111 N. Causeway Blvd., Suite 208, Mandeville, LA 70448.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Your portrait experience begins with a $490 non-refundable retainer, applied toward your $1,490 session fee, to reserve your session date. The remaining balance is due before your portrait session. After your image selection appointment, any additional portraits or artwork may be purchased with flexible payment plan options.
Do you work on location?
Yes, custom on-location sessions are available for individual portrait sessions as well as corporate events.
