Questions

Make sure to include the session of your choice, the requested date, and in the message area share your vision and along with any other details you would like for us to know!

Where are you located? And where do you travel to?

For example, we serve: Canton, Flowood, Brandon, Florence, Gluckstadt, Memphis, Edwards, Vicksburg, Clinton, Pearl, Richland, Utica and more!
2139 Boyd Rd. Utica, Ms 39175 is our address!
Why choose us as your photographer?
Because for us, this is about so much more than photos. We believe how you feel during your session is just as important as the images you take home.
Our prayer is that you feel comfortable, joyful, and genuinely loved when you’re in front of our cameras. Before every session, we pause to pray over our clients—asking God to bring peace and joy into our time together. Photography isn’t just our business; it’s our ministry.
Isaiah 26:3 says, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” That verse captures exactly what we hope you experience with us: peace, confidence, and a little glimpse of God’s love.
At the end of the day, it’s not just about photos—it’s about people.
What should I wear and bring to my session?
Wear what makes you comfortable and reflects who you are! Simple, clean outfits usually photograph best, so try to avoid bold prints, stripes, and large logos. Neutrals and soft colors always work beautifully, while coordinating tones (instead of everyone in the exact same color) create a natural, cohesive look. If your package includes outfit changes, bring a bag with touch-up items. And if bold colors feel like you—we love those too!
What does your session fee includes?
The $100 session fee and $50 non-refundable fee includes my time and expertise, the careful natural editing of your images, a private online gallery to view and share, and the complete preparation and packaging of your order—making sure you feel cared for and your memories are beautifully preserved.
What if I need to reschedule?
We completely understand that life happens! You’re welcome to reschedule your session date, time, or location as long as those options are available. We kindly ask that you give us at least 48 hours’ notice whenever possible. If you’re feeling unwell, we encourage you to reschedule—your photos will look so much better when you’re feeling your best.
In the rare event that we become ill and cannot photograph your session, you will receive a full refund (with the exception of your non-refundable retainer).
How and when will I receive my final images?
You’ll receive a private online gallery to view, share and your images. Portrait session galleries are typically ready within 1–2 weeks, and wedding galleries are delivered within 3–6 weeks. Sneak peeks are always included, so you’ll have a few favorites to enjoy while you wait for the full gallery!
Portrait galleries remain available online for 14 days once published. Extensions can be arranged for a small fee if you’d like additional time. Print orders are usually ready within 2-3 business days, though timing may vary depending on the product.
Do you travel?
Yes, but there are travel fees.
Locations 40 -100 miles: $0.75/mile per round trip.
Locations 150 miles plus: $1.00/mile per round trip.
(Additional fees are required if overnight stay in a hotel is required.)
Do you give clients raw unedited images?
We don’t provide RAW or unedited images. Every photo you receive is carefully edited to reflect our style and creativity, which is an important part of the experience we offer.
What's a print release?
A print release gives my clients the right to use the pictures in any way, shape of form. You are allowed to print the pictures took in your session. You will see it in your gallery.
Best way to contact me?

Where can I have my session at?
In my home studio, I have a wide selection of props and backdrops to bring your vision to life—the possibilities are endless!! When you’re ready for a change of scenery, we can step outside into my backyard for natural light and outdoor shots, or even combine both indoor and outdoor for the best of both worlds. Every session is designed to be fun, relaxed, and completely unique to you!!
Do you offer Proofs?
Yes- once you meet your $300 minimum.. I will give you a set of 50 watermarked printed 4x6 proofs from your session for free!! Yes! FREE! You can also order a custom thumb drive of the edited gallery with print rights for $520 + taxes--once the $300 minimum order has been met. The proofs do have my WaterMark on them.
Will I get sneak peeks on Facebook?
Yes! I’ll share sneak peeks of your favorite images on Facebook!
Do you offer refunds?
Because each photography session and product is custom-made, refunds are not available on session fees or printed items. In the rare event that a product arrives with a defect, I will gladly work with you to correct the issue and ensure you receive a quality product.
Do you provide headbands, outfits and more?
Yes, I do! I tons of headbands, bows and more little outfits I can provide! It is constancy growing! Lol. I cannot get enough to newborns outfits.
When do I schedule newborns?
Newborn sessions are best scheduled when your baby is 5–24 days old, when they are sleepiest and most comfortable for gentle posing. If your baby is older than two weeks, that’s okay too—sessions can still be beautifully captured with more natural, awake moments. Newborn sessions typically last 2–4 hours and are completely baby-led, allowing time for feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and breaks as needed. Newborn diapers and wipes are provided, and parents are encouraged to bring their own bottles and milk to help keep the session running smoothly. Your baby’s comfort and safety are always our top priority.
