FAQ

Do you travel for photoshoots?

Absolutely! I love exploring the diverse landscapes Oregon has to offer and am always ready to capture your story where it happens. Travel within 45 miles of Albany is included in your session fee at no extra cost.

For destinations beyond this area, a small travel retainer is required to secure the date, which is then conveniently applied as a credit toward your session total once we are finished. Simply reach out with your location, and I’ll be happy to provide a custom quote for our adventure.

What should we wear for our session?

Styling is the heartbeat of a moody, intentional session. While every season and landscape is unique, I always recommend choosing pieces that feel like an extension of your natural self.I suggest leaning into earthy tones, flowing fabrics, and layered neutrals.

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Simplicity is key: Try to avoid busy patterns or very small prints, as these can be distracting on camera.
  • The Moody Palette: Steer clear of neon or ultra-bright colors that might clash with the warm, earthy tones of the Oregon landscape.
  • Movement & Texture: Look for fabrics that move with the wind—linens, knits, and silks help capture that soft, unscripted energy.
  • Once your session is booked, I’ll send over my full Styling Guide to help you curate a look that feels rooted and timeless.

A Note on Authenticity: While these tips help create a cohesive look, there are exceptions to every rule. If a favorite comfort outfit or a specific piece of clothing is vital to your story, bring it. I will always prioritize your candid connection and the honest 'you' over a perfect aesthetic.

How long does it take to get our photos?

I know how exciting it is to see your story come to life, and I work with intentionality to ensure every image receives the soulful, cinematic treatment it deserves.


You can expect a hand-selected sneak peek gallery within 48 to 72 hours of our session. Your full, high-resolution storytelling gallery will be delivered via a private online link within 3 to 4 weeks.


For those who simply can't wait, I do offer a 'Fast-Pass' editing add-on to move your gallery to the top of my queue. Quality is my priority, and I promise the final result will be worth the wait.

Do you offer albums or prints?

Absolutely! I believe that your story deserves a home beyond a digital screen. While every session includes a high-resolution digital gallery, I also offer a curated selection of heirloom-quality products.

Through your private online gallery, you will have access to my professional print shop, where you can order deep-matte prints, linen-wrapped albums, and fine art canvases. These pieces are designed to stand the test of time, preserving the unfiltered and soulful moments of your legacy for generations to come.


What is an Heirloom Credit and how do I use it?

An Heirloom Credit is a gift from me to you, designed to help move your memories off of a screen and into your home. Think of it as a pre-paid boutique credit specifically for physical goods.

Once your storytelling gallery is delivered, you can use your credit in my professional print shop to purchase anything from deep-matte prints to linen-wrapped albums. At checkout, your credit is automatically applied to your total. It’s my way of ensuring that the unfiltered beauty of your session is preserved in a way you can hold and pass down for generations.

Do you have a private studio?

I choose to work primarily on-location to ensure your story feels as authentic and grounded as possible.

My "studio" is the expansive Oregon landscape or the comfort of your own home. For newborn and intimacy sessions, I find that a lifestyle approach—using your space and natural light—captures a level of unfiltered connection that a traditional studio environment cannot replicate.

However, if you have a specific vision that requires a minimalist or editorial indoor space, I am happy to facilitate a session at Studio Kalos. Located in the Corvallis/Albany area, this beautiful creative space is available for an additional rental fee. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss a studio-based session!
