📌 **Booking Update – Please Read**
I really hate to be having to make this post because I am mom, a wife, and a human balancing a lot but I have to set ~boundaries~. I am super terrible about setting boundaries when it comes to my bookings because I try to be understanding and compassionate. But this is a business, this is my business. I pay taxes, I have insurance, I have my own studio space, I miss time with my kids and husband sometimes for my work. work that I LOVE and do not plan on doing anything other than this. This is no longer just a little extra cash, this is a business and I need to set those boundaries.
Effective June 1st 2026.
1. please allow up to **1 hour for responses**. I promise I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Business Hours for the studio (it is a walk in studio no booked session needed except Monday and Tuesday but if there is a client in studio there will be a wait) is from 9am-5pm. 5pm-7:30 is for outdoor sessions for that golden hour. Monday & Tuesdays are by BOOKED sessions ONLY. this is for studio and outdoor sessions.
2. To secure your session:
• **A 30% retainer is required for all bookings.
• Retainers must be paid within **48 hours**, or your date will be released
• **No booking is confirmed without a retainer**
• **Mini session retainers must be paid at the time of booking**
I’ve had several sessions canceled without retainers, and while I always try to be understanding, I also have to protect my time and my business.
3. **Engagement & Bridal Session Policy**
All wedding collections with **6+ hours of coverage** include a complimentary engagement session and bridal session.
These sessions are a special bonus included with qualifying collections and are not factored into the package price. If you choose not to schedule one or both sessions, the wedding collection price will remain the same.
**Elopements and wedding collections with 2–4 hours of coverage do not include complimentary engagement or bridal sessions.** However, these sessions may still be added at a discounted rate.
My goal is to provide every couple with the best experience possible while keeping wedding collections simple and transparent.
4. This is not a new update but more of an announcement for those that come to my page and look for my bo***ir work. I do not post bo***ir photos on my page, I believe your photos are for you and not for others to see. I also believe that while I have this belief it may make it where I don't get clients because they can't see my work and I completely understand that but I promise you, you will leave my studio feeling confident, feeling HOT, feeling like a new woman. but your photos are for YOU and not for my page.
5. if you made it this far thank you so much for the read, I really appreciate all the love and likes, follows, and shares you do to help my business. peep at the new logo because I am not ever going to be able to keep just the one design as I am a person who has so many different sides to herself and finding myself again is a big part of my journey. and I am obsessing over the checkered print.
This is more than a hobby—**this is my business and part of how I provide for my family**. Thank you for respecting my time, my work, and my policies. 🤍
