HOW AND WHEN DO I BOOK MY SHOOTING?
All contact options are listed on the Contacts page of the site.
I’d love to hear from you and plan something beautiful together. Once you reach out, we’ll go over the details and choose a date that feels just right.
I usually recommend booking about 10 days in advance — but if inspiration hits and you’d love a last-minute shoot, feel free to message me. I’ll do my best to find a spot for you.
And if you’re inviting me to capture something truly special, like a wedding, it’s best to save the date as soon as your plans are in place.
WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW HOW TO POSE?
You don’t need to pose. You’re not a professional model — you’re a real, vibrant, beautiful human being. It’s my job to guide you, to find your best angles, and help you feel completely at ease. I won’t make you do stiff, staged shots. Instead, I’ll gently suggest what to do so it feels natural and comfortable. No pressure, no awkwardness — just you, being you.
HOW SHOULD WE PREPARE & WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
You don’t need to pose. You’re not a professional model — you’re a real, vibrant, beautiful human being. It’s my job to guide you, to find your best angles, and help you feel completely at ease. I won’t make you do stiff, staged shots. Instead, I’ll gently suggest what to do so it feels natural and comfortable. No pressure, no awkwardness — just you, being you.
I also have dedicated prep guides for families, weddings, and parents with little ones. If you have something more specific in mind, feel free to reach out — I’ll do my best to guide you through it.
WHAT IF I’M NOT PHOTOGENIC?
That’s one of the most common (and totally untrue!) fears people have before a shoot. I truly believe that everyone has their own unique beauty, and it’s my job to help you see and feel that. Think of our photo session as a little therapy: a chance to embrace yourself, boost your confidence, and maybe even fall a little more in love with who you are.
HOW LONG IS THE PHOTOSHOOT?
The duration of the session is planned in advance, and we generally follow that. But I never treat it as a strict time limit — if we’re in the flow and feel like taking a few more shots, we absolutely will.
CAN I BOOK A SESSION AS A GIFT FOR SOMEONE ELSE?
That’s a lovely idea! You can reach out to me, and I’ll create a personalized gift certificate with the names and a custom message. We can also work together to plan the surprise just the way you envision it.
CAN OUR PHOTOS BE RUSHED?
Yes, absolutely! The standard turnaround time is up to 10 days. But if you need your photos sooner, I offer a rush editing option — delivery within 2–3 days (not counting the shoot day) for an additional $200.
CAN WE CHOOSE THE LOCATION, OR DO YOU SUGGEST ONE?
Absolutely! If you have a location that’s meaningful to you — a favorite corner of the city, a quiet park, your neighborhood — I’m all ears. But if you’re not sure, I’ll offer suggestions based on time of day, light, and the vibe you’re after. Together, we’ll find the perfect backdrop for your story.
WHAT IF THE WEATHER’S BAD OR SOMETHING COMES UP?
Life happens — and that’s okay. If the weather is not ideal (especially for outdoor shoots), or if something unexpected comes up, like feeling unwell or a last-minute change, we’ll simply reschedule. No stress, no pressure. I deeply value a flexible, human approach.
HOW AND WHEN WILL I RECEIVE THE FINISHED PHOTOS?
The standard editing time is up to 10 days (not including the day of the shoot), though I usually try to deliver sooner.
In most cases, I’ll send you 2–3 fully edited preview images the same day or the next day to give you a feel for the mood and overall result. If you need your full gallery faster, I offer a 3-day rush editing option as an additional service.
Your finished images will be delivered via a private cloud gallery here on my website. The gallery will remain available permanently, but I always recommend downloading your photos to your own device or storage — just in case.
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR SHOOTS?
Yes, I’d be happy to! If your shoot takes place outside of NYC, I just ask for a travel fee to cover basic transport/time costs. Let me know where you’re dreaming of, and I’ll do my best to meet you there.
CAN I HAVE THE RAW FILES?
Yes, I can provide all the RAW files for an additional fee, though, to be honest, no one has ever asked for them before. Maybe because everyone ends up loving the final images? 😊
WHAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I’m currently shooting with a Canon R6 Mark II full-frame mirrorless camera, along with a mix of fixed and zoom lenses ranging from 24 to 200 mm. There are also many other fun tools and gadgets in my kit that I could talk about for hours — but I promise to keep the tech talk to a minimum unless you’re curious 🙂
CAN WE ORDER PRINTS OR A PHOTOBOOK?
Definitely. After the shoot, you’ll get a full-resolution gallery. From there, you can download, print on your own, or reach out if you’d like me to design a custom photo book or help you print your favorite images. I work with trusted labs and can guide you toward something timeless and high quality.
