FAQ

I am based in the beautiful mountain town that is Bozeman, Montana! I travel nation wide and world wide, we can chat specific travel details one on one.

I currently shoot with a 5D Canon Mark IV and my business is insured by USAA.

No.

A non-refundable deposit and a signed contract is required to secure your session on my calendar. The session date will not be confirmed (or held) until both the deposit is paid and the contract is signed. The remainder of your session is due in total two weeks prior to your session date. You can split up the remainder of your payment - up to three payments - if you’d like to make it more budget-friendly. If full payment is not made two weeks prior to your session, the session is canceled.

You will book your photoshoot via Calendly which is directly linked to your retainer (aka deposit) via Stripe. Your final invoice via Stripe will be directly to your email inbox and is due two weeks prior to your photoshoot. You can input your card information and save it to complete the remainder of your payment.

I do not accept Venmo or any other payment apps.

Anywhere! For indoors, clean, minimally decorated spaces with lots of natural light are best. Other options are renting out local Airbnbs, a hotel room, or (my favorite) shooting outside.

Absolutely not! Boudoir is rooted from a powerful womanly confidence, and that confidence comes from within you, not someone else. I have photographed women in every stage of life. Women who are 21 and women who are 60+! Women who are single, in a relationship, engaged, married, divorced, you name it.

If its blizzard-ing, down-pouring rain, frigid cold or too windy to be pleasant, we will absolutely reschedule with no rescheduling fee applied. We can’t control the weather! I will always be in touch with you the day of to check in on the weather and how we will proceed.

Typically I will check in with you via text or phone call to get a hold of you quickly. This is one of the only times I will communicate with you via text due to its urgency. However, if you do plan to travel to Montana for your session, and weather is not cooperating, please be sure to plan to stay at least 2-3 days here so we have rescheduling options. Montana weather is very unpredictable at times. It is also wise to have a backup indoor option as well on hand, just in case.

All my boudoir sessions are photographed tastefully and as an art-form. I never want to push my clients to do anything they’re not comfortable with. I do ask that you trust me to create beautiful, natural images that make you feel your very best. While most women do bring in some nerves (that is completely normal!) at first, their bravest poses are always the images they end up loving because they know they pushed themselves outside their comfort zone. But, please know there is also zero pressure This is all you babe.

3-5 outfit changes is typically a perfect amount. I always suggest bringing anything you love in your closet. While my personal preference is less is more, you can bring accessories like hats, flower crowns, your favorite leather jacket, etc. You name it! Once again, whatever makes you feel most confident and comfortable. All I ask is that you would plan all of this much further in advance than just the night before your shoot. Lay everything out. Try everything on. See how it feels. Move around in it and make sure you love what you are bringing.

For some of my clients, getting their hair and makeup professionally done means one less thing for them to worry about. They feel confident and it shows! It’s completely up to you. If you would rather handle it yourself, by all means do it yourself. I suggest doing what you are most comfortable with.

I retain the copyright to all images. You do have permission to share images with family, friends, and social media. You do not have permission to use these images for any marketing or advertising purposes unless we have agreed on this via a contract.

You are required to provide credit (aka, a tag) in any images shared online. Any duplication or alteration of the final images sent to you is strictly prohibited. The biggest thank you a client can give a photographer is crediting my work every time you share it. Crediting images is, simply put, the respectful thing to do. If you love the photos enough that you’re posting them on social media, wouldn’t you want to share with your followers the person who took them? It’s why we do what we do, knowing we’ve given you heirlooms you’ll cherish.

No.

Though the average client will receive a minimum of 50 images, I always value quality over quantity. The number of images varies from client to client. I will choose the best images from the shoot. My hope is that you would trust me to capture our time together to the best that I can. Quality over quantity. Always.

If you wake up the morning of your session with a blemish on your face, rest assured we can zap that rascal out. All the images you receive will be naturally toned, high resolution images. I will smooth out obvious blemishes, but I don’t alter who you are - I will not slim your arms, and I won’t make your body smaller. You can’t pay me enough to do that, I simply won’t do it. This experience is about celebrating you and embracing your true authentic beauty where you are at in life right now. Be you and own it! Raw, real, beautifully un-retouched you. My rule is non-permanent things like blemishes, bruises, scratches, etc., let’s fix. Anything else, let’s celebrate.

If for any reason Client cancels more than 7 days before the session date, Photographer shall keep the Deposit as liquidated damages, but Client will not be responsible for any remainder due. Notification of cancellation must be made in writing by Client and sent via email. Confirmation of receipt of notification email by Photographer must be obtained. If Client fails to supply Notice of cancellation as specified before the session date or cancels within 7 days of the session date, Client shall be required to pay the full balance due.

Rescheduling by Client Client may reschedule the session for any reason up to 7 days before the session date. Notification of rescheduling must be made in writing by Client and sent via email, pursuant to the Notice provision. Confirmation of receipt of notification email by Photographer must be obtained. The rescheduled session must occur within the same calendar year of original date, provided Photographer is available. Photographer will allow only one 2 complimentary reschedules, and thereafter a $200.00 rescheduling fee will apply. If Client fails to supply written rescheduling notification 7 days before the session date, Client shall be required to pay the full balance due, no reschedule will be allowed, and it shall constitute a cancellation.

I send out previews within seven business days following the session (unless otherwise traveling). You can expect the rest anywhere between 4-6 weeks. If for some reason it would be longer; due to travel, a busier season, or personal/family emergency, or your shoot is in the midst the six-week holiday stretch in November & December, I will always inform you clearly so you know when to expect your gallery.

Out of respect for each client’s privacy, I only share images that have been approved by the client. You will never see an image that hasn’t been already approved on any platform of mine. This is an extremely intimate experience and I by no means will cross any boundaries by sharing your body all over the internet.

If I ask you to be a model for a styled shoot, the expectation is already understood that I will be using those images for marketing purposes. The model understands and agrees to knowing this well in advance and will be asked to sign a contracted model release form that grants me permission to share these for social media, marketing, etc. however I choose.

Once you receive your gallery, you have the opportunity to shop and print through me. By printing through me, I can guarantee the highest quality prints and albums that will last. I recommend printing through my high quality printing partners so you can be assured that your image’s colors turn out perfectly and the quality will last for lifetimes.

You can also rest easy that the printing partners I use are fully women owned. Only fellow women will be seeing your prints and assuring they turn out perfectly before they arrive at your door.
