FAQS

What types of photography do you offer?

I specialize in events, headshots, and announcement sessions — from professional portraits to milestone moments like engagements, graduations, and more.

How do I book a session?

You can start by filling out the contact form [or: clicking the “Book Now” button]. I’ll get back to you quickly with availability, next steps, and any questions you might have.

What’s included in a session?

Every session includes a planning consult (via email or call), shooting time, professionally edited images, and a digital gallery for download. Custom packages available depending on your needs.

How soon will I get my photos back?

Turnaround time is typically 1–2 weeks, depending on the shoot type. If you need a rush delivery, just let me know — I can usually make it happen.

Where do you shoot?

I’m based in Torrington, Connecticut, but I’m available for travel depending on the project. Studio, outdoor, and on-location sessions are all options.

What should I wear to my session?

Wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable — I’ll send you a prep guide with tips on outfits, colors, and what to bring before your session.

Do you help with posing or direction?

Absolutely. Whether you’re a natural in front of the camera or feel totally awkward, I’ll guide you the whole way to get natural, flattering shots that feel like you.

What’s your rescheduling or cancellation policy?

Life happens — I get it. I just ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for rescheduling. Deposits are non-refundable but can be applied to a future session.

Do you offer group rates or custom packages for events?

Yes. Every event is different, so I’ll work with you to create a package that fits your needs and timeline. Just send me the details.

How do I receive my photos?

Your images will be delivered through a private, downloadable online gallery — easy to share and access anytime.
