This release allows you the opportunity to have prints, announcements, cards, canvas wraps, etc... printed at any lab of your choice.Do I have to pay a deposit?
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to schedule your session.
Accepted forms of payment are credit or debit through PayPal, cash, & check. A $25 fee will be assessed on any returned checks.
When and where do you photograph clients and how long does it take?
I am an on-location photographer working in Houston and the surrounding area. With the exception of newborn sessions, all of my work is done outdoors using natural light. If you have a favorite location – tell me about it! I am always looking for new places to shoot! Otherwise, we will meet in a park, urban location, or nature center.
I only work with natural light. The best lighting occurs during early morning hours and in the evening about an hour before sunset. Sessions typically last one to two hours. Newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your own home and can be scheduled anytime between 7am - 11:30am on Mondays or Wednesdays and usually take approximately three hours to complete.
What days of the week do you work?
I work Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday mornings as well as Saturday and Sunday evenings.
Do you travel outside of Houston?
I currently schedule sessions in Houston, Stafford, and Sugar Land.
I am comfortable traveling up to thirty miles outside of the 77074 zip code; however there is a $15 travel fee for locations that are more than twenty miles away from my home base.

What should I wear?
Your outfit should be exactly what you want it to be! Let your personality shine through! Layers and textures are great as well as bright colors. Kids look great in hats, headbands, tutus - and anything else you can think of to help express their personality! If your child has a favorite accessory or toy, bring it along!! My hope is to capture the real YOU! I do suggest avoiding clothes with writing or distracting graphics.
When will I see my photos?
I’m all about instant gratification! I provide “sneak peeks” on my blog and on my Facebook Fan Page! Just check in here after your session and within a few days, you will catch a glimpse of your shoot!
Rescheduling
Because I am an on-location photographer, I am at the mercy of the weather! In the event of rain, I will contact you two hours prior to your scheduled shoot so we can discuss rescheduling. Sometimes, it rains all day and is beautiful in the evening – for that reason, I hate to cancel early in the morning due to weather. If the rain just won’t go away, we can work together to pick a new date for your shoot.
If you need to reschedule your session due to personal reasons, please do so at least 48 hours prior to your original session time.
