Frequently asked questions

Do you have payment plans?

Yes! Absolutely. Monthly invoices can be sent throughout the duration of your pregnancy. I generally ask that payment is made in full by time of delivery. If you ever have any questions concerning payment plans, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Do you do Birth Photography?

Yes, yet it's not a solo session itself. As I am a Birth Doula Before I am a photographer, I offer a package including both- and capture you, your family & baby throughout your pregnancy, birth, and newborn journey. Check Out my Birth Doula & Photography Package for more info

Do you offer photography session by themselves?

Yes! I encourage you to look at my website for more information on photoshoots.
