What Goes Into a Session With Me (and Why It’s Worth It)
Let’s talk about what really goes into a shoot with me, because I want you to understand exactly what you’re investing in when you book one of my packages.
When you book a session with me, you’re not just paying for time behind the camera. You’re investing in a full experience that’s thoughtfully and thoroughly planned, ensuring the best possible results.
Here’s what your session actually includes:
Business & Tools
I use multiple professional programs to run my business smoothly. From booking systems to editing software, galleries, websites, and backup storage. These aren’t free, but they ensure your experience is stress-free and high quality.
Time & Education
Behind the scenes, I’ve spent countless hours (and dollars) learning and growing in my craft. My pricing reflects the knowledge, training, and experience I bring to every session.
Top-Tier Equipment
I use high-quality, professional gear that allows me to capture you at your best. Equipment maintenance and upgrades are an ongoing cost to keep delivering amazing results.
Pre-Session Planning
I help you plan everything from outfits to location scouting. I’ve created a list of scouted locations I personally love and recommend. A detailed questionnaire is included in the price. Plus, I offer outfit guidance to help you feel confident.
Posing & Prompts
Not sure what to do in front of the camera? Don’t worry. I guide you the whole way with natural posing and prompts to bring out genuine emotion and connection.
Props & Backdrops
For most indoor and some outdoor shoots, I provide a curated selection of props and backdrops to help bring your vision to life.
Hand-Edited Photos
Every photo you receive is hand-edited by me. No batch processing, AI or quick filters. I often spend 6–12 additional hours editing & culling after your shoot to make sure every image is perfect.
