FAQ

WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD ON THE DAY OF AN OUTDOOR SHOOT?

I will make a final call regarding the weather a few days before your session! If your session will be outdoors and it is likely to rain, I will connect with you and we will reschedule to a new date that works with both of our schedules.

WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME? DO YOU DO SNEAK PEEKS?

All sessions have a 2-week turnaround time, allowing for thoughtful, intentional editing of each image. Because of this, I don’t offer rush delivery or expedited turnaround—but I promise the wait will be worth it! To keep things running smoothly for everyone, I don’t send sneak peeks for standard sessions. The only exceptions are proposals and special events like weddings or elopements, where a quick preview feels extra meaningful.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Your outfits should be a representation of you! Most of my senior girls love to wear a white dress under their graduation gown and you can take the gown on and off for variety. For guys, khakis or dress pants and a button down works great. Guys can also bring a jacket to wear over the button down if they'd like. If you have more than one outfit option for your package, you can really get creative! The sky is the limit with your options. I highly recommend bringing a comfortable pair of shoes to change into if we'll be walking to a few different locations!

CAN I BRING PROPS?

Of course, I encourage them! Feel free to bring a bottle (or two!) of champagne to pop. Confetti cannons are super popular, too (just make sure it's biodegradable and that your location allows it)! I also love to see my grads bring something special to them. Graduating from nursing? Bring that stethoscope or pile of textbooks! You can even shotgun a beer or bring out a cigar. Props are definitely not required, but they can add a fun, personal touch to your photographs.

CAN I SPLIT MY SESSION WITH SOMEONE?

If you'd like to split your session with a someone—meaning both of you will be photographed individually and/or together during the same session time—there’s a $50 add-on per additional person with a maximum of five people total.

If you just want one or two quick photos with a parent, partner, or someone special during your session, that’s absolutely no problem—and there’s no additional charge for that!

CAN I BRING MY DOG?

As long as the location you choose allows pets, then yes! Just be sure to bring a friend to hold their leash when they're not in the pictures. Your pup can come for the beginning, end, or the entire session!

CAN I HAVE A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER COME ALONG TO MY SESSION TO WATCH AND HELP OUT?

You can definitely bring anyone who will help fix that hair, hold your bag, and keep you smiling and confident. To help keep the session relaxed and running smoothly, I kindly ask that you bring no more than two guests along to watch. Fewer people around helps you feel more at ease, be yourself, and lets us move through the session without distractions. You can totally come alone too—I will make sure that you're picture perfect!

WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE MY GRADUATION CAP AND GOWN YET?

If you’re an LSU undergraduate, you can purchase your cap and gown anytime at the LSU Bookstore. But if that’s not an option for you—good news! I have a purple LSU gown available to rent (fits heights 5'3"–5'5"), as well as a plain white gown in the same size range.

The rental fee is $15 and includes the gown and matching cap. You’re welcome to wear it for any part of your session, except for champagne pops or anything that might stain or damage the fabric. Each rental will arrive clean and freshly steamed for you!

Please note: a tassel is not included with either gown.

If you’d like to rent one, just let me know—I'm happy to make it happen!
