FAQs & OTHER SERVICES

  • Will You Travel to Me?

    It really depends. Usually it is more cost-effective for you to come to me. I also have a better handle on locations here and unless you need something specific in your images that I cannot produce locally, then I generally recommend you travel. (Besides, you’ll love it here!) But, I am certainly willing to have this conversation with you to determine what’s best.

  • Do You Include Hair & Makeup?

    I don’t because I want you to choose the person you feel is best for you. That said, here are people I have worked with that I would recommend (most on this list do Both hair AND makeup unless stated otherwise):

  • What Should I Wear?

    In a sense, what makes you feel the most confident. A general rule is ‘form fitting but not tight’ (you don’t want clothing that adds ‘bulk’.) After we have our consultation, there may be things I suggest staying away from (stripes, reflective jewelry and clothing, bold prints that detract from your face) for example.

  • Any Other Prep I Need to Do?

    Please make sure manicure and polish are fresh (toes too!), roots are done, legs, underarms etc are shaved (face for men if applicable), clothing is steamed. Bring a pair of shoes you can walk in to get from spot to spot.

    I do not. I believe the right location adds depth to your images so after we have determined what elements of your personality and story to bring out, I will give you options for locations that we can choose from. A sample of some can be found here:
