FAQ

What is your privacy policy?

ALL Images you see posted online have all been approved my client. ALWAYS!!!

Privacy is SUPER important!!! I will never display any images we create together, without your knowledge or consent. There is NO requirement to share images in order to book a session with me ..... And That's totally cool , because these sessions are ALL about YOU!!! Your images are safe with me.

What is your model release?

A Model Release allows me to share your images in my Private VIP Facebook group, on social media, and on my website. You are NOT required to sign in order to book a session with me, but when I do get permission to share.... I do the happy dance. Some clients allow me to showcase their entire session, some allow me to only display a couple of images, while other clients prefer to keep their entire session personal and private. Your privacy is important to me and I honor your decision.

When will my images be ready?

You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within 3-4 weeks after your session .... (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story). You will receive an online proofing gallery where you can choose your images for your collection and a la carte products.

Where do sessions take place? Do you have a studio?

I am an on-location photographer, which means I can shoot clients in their homes or special locations, , hotels & my personal favorite, outdoors!!! And in 2024 I finally opened my first ever boudoir studio located in Quesnel BC where I shoot season sessions between the months of April-Oct. I truly believe that being an on-location photographer allows me to give my clients a personalized feel to their sessions. It's not always the same bed or background .. we can shoot wherever you like as long as there is some beautiful natural light to play with. Clients are in charge of making reservations unless it's a boudoir marathon or you want to come to my studio.

Do you do other types of photography?

At this time, No! My focus is on women's intimate portraiture.

Do you offer payment plans?

YES!!! Your session booking fee is due to book and secure a session with me ( you can choose to pay this in full at the time of booking or split into two payments and pay off within 30 days in inquiry) All collections and a la carte products you would like to purchase can be put on a customized pre-payment plan to make budgeting for your session as affordable as possible. I customize a payment plan that works best for you. (Please note: No products are ordered until your final balance is paid in full )

Do your sessions include hair and makeup?

For the most part, YES. Your session booking fee includes everything you need to prepare for your session...including gorgeous hair and makeup applications. I collaborate with an amazing local artist who will join us for your session and help bring out your best features for your session.

There are special sessions that do not include hair and makeup, but these sessions will provide this information and give you options on where you can get this done.

HELP!!!HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY SESSION? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WEAR OR HOW TO POSE!!!

Don't worry, I have you covered!!!! Once you book a session with me, you will receive my online pre-questionnaire and Welcome Guide. It is filled with everything you need to know. And don't worry... I have you covered during our time together. I am an expert at posing and lighting women in the most flattering of ways and I will be guiding you through your whole session, from head-to-toes. Just come to your session with an open heart and I will take care of the rest.

I HAVE STRETCH MARKS/A PIMPLE/CELLULITE ... CAN YOU EDIT THESE OUT???

This is a common question and the best answer I can give is that the goal of these sessions are to celebrate you, the beauty that you are TODAY!!! Every woman has something different, unique, and something fabulous to capture. If you have particular concerns, there is a section in the questionnaire I send you after you book to help me understand any concerns or things you may have about your session ... this helps me know what poses and lighting so I can use them to emphasize your best features and help make this experience the absolute best for you... BUT, Please know that my goal is to photograph ALL OF YOU, to truly give you a chance to see that beauty that you are.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO WEAR???

Don't worry. Once you book your session, I will email you with confirmation of receipt of your session booking fee as well as a welcome guide with all the information you need to know to be ready for your session.... this includes what you can choose to wear. As we plan your session, I encourage you to bring 4-5 outfits that make you feel beautiful. I will help to narrow them down to the best choices for your session while you are getting your hair and make done. There are so many options for your session: Check out my pinterest inspiration board for ideas and inspiration.

IT'S RAINING/SNOWING/DARK OUTSIDE.... DO WE HAVE TO CANCEL???

I almost always use natural light ... it's beautiful and real and just fits with my style best. However, not all-natural light is best for photo sessions. To create an image you need LIGHT - You can't make an image without it!!! ... There is bright direct light, soft backlighting, open shade, cloudy skies, moonlight. It's important to note that each of these types of lighting creates a different look and feel to your images .... and these all depend on the weather the day of your shoot. To note, the most flattering light is around sunrise and sunset!!

CAN I BRING SOMEONE TO THE SHOOT WITH ME?

If having a friend come with you to meet me initially helps you feel more comfortable or ensures you’ve arrived safely, I absolutely welcome that! Once we’ve met and you feel at ease, your friend can leave, and we’ll dive into creating magic during your session. I prefer to work one-on-one with my clients during their session. This time is all about you, and having someone else present can create distractions and may prevent you from fully relaxing and embracing the experience. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and empowering space where you can feel confident and let your true self shine.

AN EMERGENCY CAME UP AND I NEED TO RESCHEDULE!

I totally understand that sometimes life throws you curves balls and you just have to go with the flow. Please know that although your session booking fee is non-refundable, I do allow the opportunity to transfer your session booking fee, ONE TIME, at no cost to another available date. You need to give a minimum of 24hours notice to take advantage of this free transfer, so if you are a no-show or rescheduling less than 24 hours before your shoot you will lose your session booking fee and ability to transfer to another date. When you book with me, plans are made/sitters are booked/stylists are scheduled and I've taken away the option for another session to cover.
