No. During a session, I take a large number of photos, including test shots, duplicates, and ones where someone may have blinked or moved. Afterward, I carefully go through everything and hand-select the best images based on lighting, composition, and expression. Those are the ones I fully edit and deliver! This process ensures you receive only the best, finished photos that reflect both my style and the quality of my work. Photographers shouldn’t give out raw images because they’re unfinished work, similar to an artist handing over a sketch instead of the final painting. RAW files don’t reflect the photographer’s editing style, color correction, or creative vision. They also require special software to view and process, which most clients can’t use properly. By keeping RAWs, photographers protect their artistic integrity, maintain consistent quality, and ensure the final images truly represent their brand.

I’m based on Quantico Base in Prince William County and primarily photograph sessions in the Fredericksburg and Manassas areas. These locations offer a variety of beautiful backdrops that perfectly complement every type of session, from couples and families to portraits and maternity. If you’d like your session to take place outside of these surrounding areas, a $25 travel fee will be added to cover the additional time and travel expenses. I’m always happy to explore new locations and work with you to find the perfect setting that matches your vision!

I understand that life happens and plans sometimes change! I allow one reschedule per booking as a courtesy to my clients. Your new date must be scheduled within a reasonable timeframe and is subject to my availability. If a second reschedule is requested, the booking will be terminated, and the nonrefundable deposit will be forfeited. A new deposit will be required to book again. This policy ensures fairness and helps me manage my calendar efficiently, especially during busy seasons when sessions fill up quickly. In the event of inclement weather, such as rain or storms on the day of your session, we can absolutely reschedule without penalty. Weather-related reschedules do not count as your one allowed reschedule. I always keep an eye on the forecast and will communicate with you to make the best decision for your session

My standard turnaround time for gallery delivery is 7 business days. During the fall busy season, turnaround time extends to 14 business days due to higher session volume. For special events such as elopements or extended coverage sessions, delivery timelines are determined on a case-by-case basis and will be communicated at the time of booking.

To officially reserve your date and time, a nonrefundable deposit is required for every session type. This deposit confirms your booking and ensures that your session slot is held exclusively for you. Without a deposit, your date and time are not secured and may be offered to another client. The deposit amount is applied directly toward your total session balance, with the remaining payment due by the specified deadline before your session. If the deposit or final payment is not submitted on time, your session may be forfeited and the date released to other clients. Because I dedicate time and resources to each scheduled session, including planning, communication, and reserving your date, deposits are nonrefundable under any circumstances.

At this time, I do not photograph full weddings, but I do offer coverage for small elopements, intimate celebrations focused on you and your story. I also photograph a variety of special events, including birthday parties, baby showers, and branding sessions.
