Investment
I believe in keeping things simple. My sessions are designed to be a relaxed, enjoyable experience, and your session fee covers everything from the personalized photo shoot to a complete gallery of your final, hand-edited images. What you see is what you get, and what you get is a complete collection of your story.
After your session, you'll receive a link to your full gallery of high-resolution digital files with a print release. You're welcome to download and print your images anywhere you like, but your convenience, I also offer high-quality prints and cards (including graduation and holiday cards) directly from your gallery.

FAQ
What's included in a session fee?
Your session fee covers the pre-session planning, my time and expertise during the shoot, and all of the final, edited high-resolution digital images delivered in an online gallery. There are no hidden fees or additional purchases required.
What are your payment policies and options?
A non-refundable 50% retainer is required to book your date. This fee secures your session and can be transferred to a new date if you need to reschedule (within reason). The remaining balance is due prior to your session.
I accept credit card (via Stripe), cash, check, Venmo or Paypal.
I can’t wait! When will I get my images?
I’m just as excited to share your beautiful images with you! I work to get them turned around as quickly as I can.
I meticulously hand-edit and color-correct each photo to ensure they are perfect. This process can take some time, but it’s what makes your images so special. You can expect your online gallery to be delivered within 2-3 weeks of your session. I'll always keep you updated if there are any changes to this timeline.
What should I wear to my session?
Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and amazing! For family sessions, I recommend choosing a color palette and having everyone wear solid, complementary colors. This helps create a cohesive look and ensures the focus stays on your family.
For my senior clients, I've put together some guides to help you plan your outfits.
Do you have location suggestions for my session?
Yes, absolutely! I specialize in outdoor sessions, and the Indianapolis area offers so many incredible backdrops—from urban settings to beautiful natural landscapes. If you don't already have a spot in mind, I'm happy to help you choose a location that perfectly fits the vision for your session.
The forecast shows rain for our session date, now what?
We will keep a close eye on the weather forecast as your session date approaches. If it looks like we'll have rain, we can either work together to find a window of time on the scheduled day, or we'll simply reschedule for another day that works for everyone.
And remember, don't worry about cloudy days! Clouds actually act as a giant natural diffuser, creating the most beautiful, soft light for your photos.
How much editing do you apply to my images?
I want you to look your best while still looking like yourself, which is why I apply only light, professional edits to your images. My goal is to enhance the natural beauty of your photos, not to change who you are.
General retouching is always included in your session price. This covers things like correcting skin shine, stray hairs, and blemishes, as well as cropping, straightening, and making adjustments to color and light.
I can also provide more advanced retouching, such as removing a person from the background or more extensive skin smoothing, for an additional fee. Advanced retouching is $25 per image and is available upon request.
