It depends on the type of shoot, location(s) we’ve chosen, number of outfits, etc.

Unless you’re booking me for event coverage, a mini-session, or you’ve purchased an add-on for extra time, most photo sessions are about 1 hour long. Please arrive on time and plan accordingly so we can make the most out of our time together!

After you submit a contact form here on my site, I’ll email you my location guide! There, you can view sample photos for both city and nature locations. If you already have your dream location in mind, make sure to mention it in your contact form so I can review it.

Once you've picked a location, we can take photos anywhere you’d like as long as the spots are within walking distance of each other. Any place that requires driving or taking public transport during the photo session would count as a 2nd location.

Please keep in mind that some of my go-to locations require light hiking/walking, so bringing a second pair of comfortable shoes is recommended!

Absolutely! I’ll talk you through the session while giving you space to be yourself and settle into the environment. We’ll get a good mix of poses and movements: anything from simple sitting/standing to more dynamic prompts like walking toward the camera or tossing leaves in the air.

That being said, my sessions work best for people who value capturing their personality over achieving perfectly posed images. The best photos usually happen when we take the time to get to know each other, let go, and have fun! Frankly, if you anticipate very traditional, flawless, heavily-posed images, we might not be a good fit.

For photo sessions that include an outfit change (or if you’ve selected my “$35 per extra outfit” add-on), you’ll have more than enough time to change into your other outfit(s). Once we’ve spent a fair amount of time photographing one look, we can do the next. Most of my go-to locations have public restrooms where one can change, or you’re welcome to use my (surprisingly spacious) pop-up changing tent if the weather’s warm enough!

As for the outfits themselves:
Everyone deserves to look and feel comfortable in front of the camera, so wear something that genuinely makes you feel like you! I suggest avoiding large distracting logos, too many opposing patterns, and neon colors since they reflect harshly on the skin. Other than that, the stage is yours :-)

Please have your remaining payment ready before we part ways after our shoot. If you’ve booked a package that includes more than 1 outfit, bring your outfit change(s) as well. If we’re meeting in the summer, I recommend bringing a water bottle since most of the locations I work at require quite a bit of walking. If our shoot is for the colder months, definitely bring a coat to wear in between photos.

If you'd like a friend or family member to accompany you to the shoot, they are more than welcome! Having someone you’re close with to assist with outfits, hair, etc. can be quite helpful — especially if this is your first professional photo experience, or if you’re a bit camera shy.

Are you interested in doing a few group photos during your solo shoot? Ask me about the friends/family add-on ($50, 5-10 images)! I also offer packages for friends who want to do a full shoot together (with more final images + shooting time included).

I keep an eye on the forecast leading up to my photo sessions, so if I spot rain, snow, freezing temps, or high winds, I’ll reach out to you as soon as I can to reschedule.

As the climate changes, the frequency of extreme weather events increases every year — especially here in New England. With that in mind, I try to leave a few spots open in my calendar every month for those weeks when it never seems to stop raining :/

For you adventurous people out there though — I’m always down to shoot in a little rain or snow! Just say the word, and I’m there.
