COVID-19 protocol and concerns

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, I take the necessary precautions to protect you, your family and myself from the potential exposure to the virus. Whenever possible, I offer socially-distanced sessions, wear a mask if needed, and sanitize my hands, especially if I'm posing/wrapping your Baby.

I am fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

Be assured that any props I bring are the ones that can be sanitized/washed after each session.

Everyone in my home adheres to the CDC and local authority guidelines for COVID-19.

Each session is planned with your concerns and comfort in mind, whether it be indoors or outdoors.


Where will the session take place?

Your outdoor portrait session will take place at one of the locations I scout out prior to the session. If you have a special location in mind, let me know in advance so I can check it out. Some locations may require photography permits and I prefer to find other alternatives.

Lifestyle and newborn sessions take place in/around your home.


Important Session Policies

Fees: All session fees are non-negotiable. Prices are subject to change at anytime but once your deposit is received, your price is locked. 

Deposit: A non-refundable retainer is due at time of booking to reserve your spot, with the remaining balance due no later than 3 days prior to your session. Mini sessions must be paid in full at booking.

Contracts: Model releases and session contract must be signed prior to session.

Payment Options: Cash, Check and Credit cards are accepted. All checks must clear prior to your session. Credit card payments are accepted through your client portal, Square and through your ordering gallery.

Cancellations & Rescheduling: Cancellations must be in writing. If you cancel a session without at least 7 days notice without rescheduling for a new time slot, you forfeit the deposit on the session. I understand that life and emergencies do happen and reserve the right to handle those on a case-by-case basis.

Weather: Weather doesn't always cooperate. I reserve the right to reschedule our session based on poor weather conditions or inadequate lighting conditions. I will do my very best to accommodate both of our schedules, but if you cannot or choose not to reschedule your session, you will forfeit your retainer.

Travel: For travel more than 10 miles outside of South Orange, NJ, mileage cost will be added to session price.

Artistic Vision: Each session is different. By hiring me to take your photographs you are trusting me to capture my vision of your photo session. I will not re-edit photos. If you have a specific photo or look in mind that you'd like (based on what you see in MY portfolio), please let me know before the session and I will do my best to accommodate your request.

RAW/Unedited Images: RAW or unedited images are NEVER available.
