frequently asked questions:

When will my gallery be delivered?

All galleries are delivered via email within 2 weeks from your session date.

Do I have to choose or purchase images separately?

Nope! I keep things simple around here. Your mini session fee covers everything—no picking favorites, no upselling, no per-photo pricing.

After our session, you’ll receive a gallery of all the best images, fully edited and ready to enjoy. Easy, transparent, and stress-free- just the way capturing family memories should be.

How many images will I receive?

Each mini session gallery includes all of the best images from our session. While the exact number varies depending on the session, I never cap or withhold strong images - if it’s a great photo, it’s included. You can typically expect a minimum of 35+ photos from a 15 minute mini session.

Are the images fully edited?

Yes, every image included in your gallery is fully edited & delivered high-resolution and ready to download, share, and print.

What if there is bad weather on my selected date?

I always keep a close eye on the forecast leading up to our time together. If there is bad weather forecasted (rain, snow, etc.) I will reach out the day prior to our session with the option to reschedule your session.
