Professional Portrait Photography in Richmond, Virginia

Yes. Portrait sessions can be planned around professional use, creative personal branding, dating profiles, social media, or a mix of polished and expressive images.

Yes. If you want guidance, I can help narrow the gallery toward the images that best match your goals, whether that is professional polish, personality, or a specific use case.

Session lengths vary depending on the type of photography service. Portrait sessions typically last 1-2 hours, engagement sessions are around 1.5-2 hours, and wedding coverage packages range from 6-10 hours depending on your needs. Each session is customized to ensure we capture everything you're looking for.

Choose clothing that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Solid colors or subtle patterns usually photograph best. For family or group sessions, coordinate your color palette without being too matchy-matchy. I'm happy to provide more specific guidance based on your session location and style preferences - just ask!

Yes, outfit changes are welcome! Most portrait sessions allow for 1-2 outfit changes or they can be added on for a small fee, depending on the package and time constraints. Please have your outfits prepared and organized beforehand to maximize our shooting time. For location shoots, I can provide a pop up changing tent if no changing facilities are available.

To book a session, please contact me through the contact form on my website, email me directly, or for certain sessions you can book a time and date directly through my booking link. We'll discuss your needs, available dates, and the type of session you're interested in. Once we agree on the details, I'll send you a contract to sign, and a 30% non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your date.

The 30% booking fee/deposit is non-refundable under all circumstances. For standard sessions, all other payments made beyond the deposit may be refunded if cancellation occurs more than 7 days before the scheduled session, minus any non-recoverable expenses already incurred. For weddings, installment payments may be refundable if cancellation occurs more than 30 days before the wedding date, minus any non-recoverable expenses. No refunds of any kind will be issued for cancellations within 7 days of standard sessions or within 30 days of weddings.

I understand that emergencies happen. In cases of serious illness, injury, or family emergency, please contact me as soon as possible. While my standard cancellation policy applies in most situations, I will work with you to find a reasonable solution in genuine emergency situations, potentially waiving or reducing fees on a case-by-case basis.
