The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Why yes! We are available for hire in here in Central Florida and all over the U.S. and the world. In fact, when I was younger, I wanted to be a travel photographer!
We love to travel, and frequently travel to both Tennessee and Southern California, as well as the Pacific Northwest.

How long have you been a photographer?
Forever! Ha. Not really, but it seems like it sometimes.
I've been making portraits since 1998, and haven't stopped since I started. My first camera was film on an old Minolta, then I moved to digital.
Now Mr. Llama and I are both moving in both worlds - digital and back to film. It's been a beautiful process.
Can you help with planning our session?
I would love to help you with planning your session!
Planning is an extremely important aspect of photo sessions. We will want to make time to discuss look, location, and wardrobe options - along with hair, makeup, or other services you may need or want in order to make the vision for your session come fully to life!
In fact, as a part of the booking process, we'll start with a quick in person or zoom meeting so we can get the ball rolling on all of these important details.
What is your price point?
Once you inquire about booking your session, I'll send all the pricing and package details. But for reference, senior and family sessions start at $550, and branding sessions start at $450 for individual head shots. Extended family and larger (more than five) commercial sessions are customized to suit your needs. Most of my individual (seniors, families, and single head shot) clients invest an average of $750-$1200.
Whats your turn around time?
Preview galleries will be available within a week-to-two-weeks from the date of your session. Final galleries will be completed within four weeks of making your final selections. Branding and senior sessions are a bit more intensive, so those can take up to six weeks for the final product.
How many photos do we get?
Every package purchase comes with a different number of photos, but for reference, the average family session includes around ten photos.
How do we book a session?
Get in touch through my contact page, and I will walk you through booking during one of our available dates. It's easy peasy.
I frequently book out a month or more during the busy season (October to March), so you'll want to keep that in mind when booking your session.
I do occasionally have last-minute sessions open up, however, those are always offered to established clients first before opening them up to new clients. Gotta treat my loyal clients right!
How do we get our photos?
You will be given a preview gallery to choose your favorite images from. We can meet in person to choose the images that best reflect your session and fit into your collection, or you can choose and get back to me at your convenience.
Once you've chosen your favorites from the preview gallery, I will retouch those and put them in your final gallery. After that, they are yours to download. print, and share! And here's the best part: you can choose your print directly through your gallery and have them delivered straight to your home!
Do you retouch photos?
I do! All of the photos you choose from your preview gallery will be retouched by me. This includes basic adjustments (exposure, color correction, etc.) and basic skin retouch for blemishes, slight smoothing of clothing when necessary, and other editing to make your images exactly what they need to be!
Your photos are an investment, and I invest the necessary time in them to create the perfect look from your session. Further editing is also available at an additional rate.
