Frequently Asked Questions *

Where are you based? Do you travel for photoshoots?

I am based out of Chicago. I love driving trips around the Midwest. I am available to travel beyond the Midwest for photoshoots as well. Price will depend on cost of travel.

Do you Shoot Weddings?

YES, I LOVE WEDDINGS! I photograph elopements, micro-weddings and weddings including 50 people or less. Sometime in the future, I would love to take on larger weddings.

What if I am uncomfortable in front of the camera?

Oh girl, big same. Being in front of the camera can feel so awkward! I totally get it. That’s why I do everything I can to make our time together super relaxed and fun. I’ll guide you through poses, we’ll laugh a lot, and before you know it, you’ll forget the camera is even there. We’ve got this, together.

Can I share the photos on my Social Media page?

Of course! I just ask that you do not edit them. Cropping is totally fine but please do not lay filters over the editing work or do any airbrushing, AI removals, etc. to the completed images.

P.S. Please tag me!

Do you Use generative AI, Face Tune or Airbrushing in your editing?

I use AI as little as possible in my photo editing work. My focus is on authentic moments and authentic scenes. I will adjust things that are temporary and distracting like clothing wrinkles, egregious hair fly aways, sweat stains, blemishes and the like there of. I will not FaceTune or airbrush you or your body.

My goal is for you to see yourself the way everyone who loves you already does. I’ll absolutely make sure lighting, angles, and color bring out your natural glow, but your beauty doesn’t need to be edited away. You’re already art, just as you are.
