What kinds of sessions do you offer?

I specialize in elevated natural light portraits for actors, models (signed or unsigned), and creatives—but I also love working with everyday people who want to mark a special moment, celebrate themselves, or simply get beautiful photos just because.

Sessions include:

• Headshots

• Model Digitals (Polaroids)

• Creative Portraits & Editorials

• Branding sessions for entrepreneurs and small businesses

• Couples and families (available occasionally—feel free to inquire!)

I also occasionally offer discounted portrait days—keep an eye on my Instagram or newsletter to snag a spot.

Do you retouch the photos?

Yes, I do light retouching to enhance the image without over-editing. Think: evening out tones, gentle skin cleanup, and removing distractions—while keeping you looking like you. If you want even more natural texture left in, just let me know—I’m happy to adjust.

How far in advance should I book?

At least 2–4 weeks in advance is best to get your ideal date. My calendar fills quickly, especially when i have discounted shoot days and specials.

What’s included in a session?

Each session includes:

• A set number of looks/outfits (typically 2–3)

• Studio time in beautiful natural light

• A proof gallery to select your final images

• Edited high-resolution files

Details vary by package—feel free to reach out if you’re not sure what’s right for you.

how long do your shoots last?

it can vary by session type, but my base rate sessions are up to two hours.

What’s your photography style like?

Clean, minimal, and natural—with a dreamy, professional feel. I work with soft, flattering light in my studio and keep posing simple so the real you comes through.

How do I book a session?

Booking is super easy! Just fill out the inquiry form on my site with your ideal dates. I’ll follow up with availability and next steps, including deposit and contract.

How long until I get my photos?

You’ll receive your proof gallery within 3–5 days. Once you’ve made your selections, final edits are typically delivered within 2 weeks. If you need photos urgently (for agencies, auditions, etc.), let me know—I offer expedited options when possible.

Do I need to come with makeup/hair done?

Unless your session includes hair, makeup, or styling (or you've booked it as an add-on), yes—you’ll need to arrive camera-ready. For model digitals, keep it clean and minimal—no heavy makeup or styling. For headshots and portraits, come as you feel best. If you’d like to book a hair and makeup artist, I’m happy to share trusted recommendations

What should I wear?

it varies on the type of session. Once we book, I’ll ask you for your inspo/ideas and i can send moodboards that can help on what to wear for your session. But a quick tip: simple pieces in solid, neutral tones photograph best.

What if I need to reschedule?

Life happens—I totally get it. Just give me at least 48 hours’ notice and we’ll find a new date. Deposits are non-refundable but can be applied to your rescheduled session.

Where are you located?

I’m based in Chicago IL and my studio is located in the ravenswood neighborhood. There’s street parking nearby and we’re close to public transit!
