Before you book.
01How does booking work?+
Send a request with your date and a general location. I reply with a yes or no, usually within 48 hours. If it's a yes, you get payment details. Once payment is confirmed, your date is held and we lock the exact time and meeting spot.
02When is my session officially booked?+
When payment is confirmed. A Lifestyle Session is $150, paid in full after I approve the request. The date isn't held until then.
03Where do sessions take place?+
Manhattan and Queens are included. Outside those, travel usually adds $20–$50 depending on distance. I'll confirm the exact amount before you pay. If you don't have a spot in mind, tell me the look you want and I'll suggest a few. Studio rental, admission, or permit fees aren't included.
04I've never done a shoot. Do I need to know how to pose?+
No. I direct the whole time: where to stand, how to move, what to do with your hands. Most people I shoot have never done this before.
05What should I wear? Can I bring a friend?+
Wear something you already feel good in. One outfit works best for a 30–45 minute session, and I'm happy to weigh in if you send options. Bringing a friend along is fine. A session covers one or two people, so couples are the same price. Groups of three or more are quoted.
06How do I get my photos, and how many?+
I send a proof gallery with my picks marked. You choose your 5, I edit them, and they're delivered digitally 5–7 business days after you choose. Extra edited images are $10 each, or 5 for $50.
07Do you provide RAW files?+
No. You get finished images.
08What if I'm running late?+
Text me. Up to 15 minutes late, you still get your full session. Anything past 15 comes out of your shooting time: 30 minutes late to a 45-minute session leaves 30. If less than 15 minutes would be left, it's treated as a same-day cancellation. If my schedule allows, you can add time at $75 per 30 minutes. If you haven't arrived and I haven't heard from you 15 minutes after the start time, it's a no-show.
09What if I need to cancel or reschedule?+
With at least 24 hours' notice you can reschedule once at no charge, to a date within 30 days, or cancel for a full refund. Same-day cancellations aren't refunded, but you can rebook once for a $30 fee.
10What if it rains?+
If the weather would hurt the shoot, we move it at no charge and it doesn't count as your reschedule. I make the call a few hours before. Overcast and light rain often still shoot well.
11Can I post the photos? Can my brand use them?+
Lifestyle sessions come with personal use: post them, print them, use them on your profiles. Commercial use for a business or brand is quoted separately as a Custom Shoot.
