Thank you for contacting us!
-
Where does the photography session take place?
-
Primarily at our studio in Old Town, Virginia. We also offer sessions on location, outdoors, and dream destinations. Client agrees to pay mileage and travel costs for destinations 25 miles outside of Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia.
-
How far in advance do I need to book my shoot?
-
I recommend booking your session 4-6 weeks before you need your pictures. Albums and wall art take up to 4-6 weeks to produce. If you need it sooner I will try to accommodate you and do rush service.
-
What if I am older and not my ideal weight?
-
I have photographed women of all ages, shapes, and sizes. When I look at you through my lens I can capture your inner and outer beauty no matter what your stage in life is. My goal is that when you are in front of my camera you will experience how beautiful you really are.
-
I have cellulite, stretch marks and/or blemishes. Do you offer retouching?
-
Yes. Retouching is included with your portrait selections. We will retouch skin blemishes, stretch marks, and cellulite upon request. We don’t reshape or alter body parts any other shape than normal.
-
How long does the signature shoot take?
-
Plan to spend around 3-4 hours for the session including hair and makeup. The Private Image Reveal Session is booked for 90 minutes on Zoom or in person.

What is your cancellation policy?
-
If a photo session is canceled or needs rescheduling less than 14 days before the scheduled date a rebooking fee of $500 is applied.
The session appointment fee will be retained to recoup the loss of the appointment session and the cost of the makeup/hair stylist.
14 days notice is required before your scheduled session to change the date since a hair & makeup professional has been scheduled for your session. Rescheduling less than 14 days from the session date will require a rebooking fee of $500.
We acknowledge that emergencies can arise and we may opt to waive the fee on a case-case basis.
