Frequently Asked Questions

I am located in Weirton, WV which is about 30 minutes from Pittsburgh, PA. 

I will travel just about anywhere for a shoot though! I love to travel and see new places.

I typically like to schedule evening golden hour sessions. The time is variable depending on what time of the year it is. 

But I am open to shooting at the time that is best for you and your family. We can make any time work by choosing a smart location!

Yes! I can do just about any seasonal mini session (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, birthday shots, etc.)

Once we schedule your session, we will do a consult on the phone about what you would like to get out of the pictures. I can help you decide on outfits. We will discuss location and any props together beforehand. 

Many times, you just need to bring yourself!

Cost varies on what type of session. 

As I am new to the profession, I am offering discounted rates through the year.

Seniors, weddings and more involved photoshoots are variable with costs.

I recommend wearing more plain colors vs. busy patterns. I also recommend looking on Pinterest for color palettes for outfits. Also, make sure the kids are comfortable in what they wear.

I am happy to brainstorm during our consult beforehand if you'd like. Everyone has their own vision for their photos.

Absolutely! Shooting in the comfort of your own home is desirable for many. Lifestyle shoots at home are my favorite!
