Frequently Asked Questions

Private Schools

Every school community is unique, and so are the students. I focus on creating modern, natural portraits that parents love and schools are proud to share. Here are some of the most common questions I hear from schools and families.


Q1: How are your school portraits different from traditional school pictures?

A: I create modern, lifestyle-inspired portraits that capture authentic expressions instead of stiff, cookie-cutter poses. Each child’s personality shines through in a natural, timeless way. Shoot locations are outside whenever possible or in a carefully selected interior space that reflects the child’s day. Not a backdrop in a gym.

Q2: Do parents get to choose their favorite photos?

A: Yes! Families receive a secure online gallery where they can view multiple images and order their favorites in digital or print formats.

Q3: How do you handle siblings or multiple children in the same school?

A: I offer sibling portraits on school picture day at no extra charge, ensuring families get both individual and group options.

Q4: What ordering options do parents have?

A: Parents can choose from digital downloads, professional prints, and wall art products. Online ordering is simple and delivered directly to the home.

Business Brands

Your brand deserves more than a stock photo. Bring your website and marketing materials to life with your real life staff. From headshots to full storytelling sessions, my goal is to help your business stand out with images that feel professional and authentic. Here are answers to questions I often get from business owners and professionals.


Q1: What’s the difference between a headshot session and a full brand photography session?

A: A headshot session is focused on one or two professional portraits for LinkedIn, business cards, or websites. Brand photography sessions tell the full story of your business with a mix of portraits, workspace, product, and lifestyle imagery.

Q2: Can you shoot at my office or do I need to come to your studio?

A: I bring professional lighting and equipment to your office or any chosen location.

Q3: Do you help with posing and wardrobe?

A: I provide posing guidance while shooting to help you feel comfortable and confident. We can talk about wardrobe tips to make sure your photos match your brand’s personality.

Q4: How quickly will I receive my photos?

A: Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days. Rush delivery is available if you’re working with a tight deadline.

Family Photography

Family portraits should feel fun, relaxed, and true to who you are. Whether it’s at home, in the park, or on a family getaway, I capture moments you’ll cherish for years. Here are some FAQs to help you know what to expect.


Q1: Where do your family sessions take place?

A: The most important thing about a family portrait is that the portrait tells your family’s story. It should show who you are as a family. Sessions can be at your home, in a Nashville or Middle Tennessee outdoor location, or I can even travel with you during family vacations or special events. I help you choose a setting that feels natural and meaningful to your family.

Q2: How long is a typical family session?

A: A lot of sessions last 60–90 minutes, giving kids time to relax and everyone a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera but I don’t sell sessions based on time. It’s the result you’re paying for and we’ll take the time we need to get you a portrait or series of portraits that meet your needs.

Q3: What if my kids don’t cooperate during the session?

A: No worries! I specialize in working with children and keeping sessions fun, playful, and stress-free. Some of the best photos happen in candid moments. Most kids love our sessions because they’re centered around the story of your family doing the things your family love to do.

Q4: How do we view and order our photos?

A: You’ll receive a private online gallery with hand-edited images. From there, you can order prints, albums, and digital downloads directly.
