02 · Who it's for

One session, built around why you need it.

  • Maternity

    Golden light, flowing gowns and red rock, or a clean studio look. Best booked around 30 to 34 weeks.

  • Creative and themed

    Have an idea that is a little different? Celestial gowns, fairy lights, a Halloween concept. Let’s plan it together.

  • Milestones

    First birthdays, graduations, new chapters, or simply because you have not had a good photo of yourself in years.

  • Headshots and branding

    For LinkedIn, your company site or your own business. Clean, confident and current.

05 · Questions

Things people ask before booking.

I'm awkward in front of a camera. Will that show?

Almost everyone says this, and it never shows in the final gallery. I direct every pose and keep things moving, so you never have to guess what to do.

What should I wear?

Clothes you feel great in, in solid colors or subtle textures. Avoid big logos and busy patterns. After you book, I send a short guide with examples.

Do you retouch the photos?

Yes. Every delivered image is edited by hand, including careful skin retouching that removes temporary blemishes but still looks like you on your best day.

Can I bring someone along?

Of course. A friend, partner or even your dog is welcome, and they often help you relax. Just let me know ahead of time.

Your turn

Ready when you are.

Sessions are relaxed and guided, around Prescott and northern Arizona. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll take it from there.
