How do we book you?
The easiest way to get started is by filling out my inquiry form on my website. From there, I’ll be in touch within 24–48 hours to go over details, availability, and next steps. A signed contract and retainer officially secure your date!
How far in advance should we book?
For weddings, I recommend booking 6–18 months in advance.
For lifestyle sessions and events, 2–6 weeks is typically best—but always reach out, as I occasionally have last-minute availability!
Do you travel?
Yes! Travel fees may apply for Nassau County or locations east of Riverhead.
I’m also available for out-of-state travel and love documenting sessions and events in new locations! Travel fees are customized based on the date, time, and location.
When will we receive our photos?
You can expect sneak peeks within 48–72 hours so you have something to share right away.
Your full gallery will be delivered within approximately 2 weeks.
Wedding galleries are delivered within 4-6 weeks.
How many photos will we receive?
Each session or event includes a minimum number of images, but I always deliver a full gallery that tells your story—never holding back meaningful moments!
Do we choose which photos are edited?
No—part of my process is carefully selecting and editing the best images that reflect my style and your story.
What can we expect when working with you?
Working with me is designed to feel effortless and natural from start to finish. I take the time to understand your vision while guiding you in a way that never feels forced or overly posed.
My approach is calm, observant, and intentional—allowing genuine moments to unfold while ensuring nothing important is missed. You can expect a balance of direction and freedom, resulting in images that feel honest, refined, and true to your story.
Do you have experience with young kids?
Yes! I work with children of all ages and always approach sessions with patience and flexibility. I keep things relaxed and natural so kids can feel comfortable, which is when the best moments happen.
Do you help with posing?
Yes—I'll guide you in a way that feels natural and not forced. Think of it more as direction than posing, so your photos still feel like you.
How are your photos edited?
Every image in your gallery is personally hand-selected and thoughtfully edited by me to ensure it reflects my style and quality. I focus on true-to-color tones and preserving your moments as they genuinely felt.
Your gallery will also include both color and black-and-white versions, giving you different ways to experience your memories.
Are you insured?
Yes, I am fully insured for all sessions and events. If your venue requires a certificate of insurance, I can easily provide one—just let me know!
