A. Sessions are intended for immediate family only—this includes parents, children, and household pets. Additional participants such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, or friends must be approved in advance. Surprise guests will not be photographed. Approved additional family members may be included for $25 per person.

A. Life happens—and I get it! Below is a brief overview of my cancellation and rescheduling policies. Full details will be provided in your contract after booking.

Standard Priced Sessions: Cancellations must be made at least 7 days in advance. Cancellations within 7 days of your session forfeit all payments and no credit will be issued.

Reschedules also require 7 days' notice. I’ll do my best to accommodate your request, but if I can’t, it will be treated as a cancellation. Late rescheduling requests incur a $100 fee, and all sessions must be completed within 30 days of the original date. Reschedules are typically moved to the next available Friday. Weekend reschedules may be approved for a $125 Weekend Exception Fee.

One (1) complimentary weather-related reschedule is included per session, based on my assessment of conditions. Overcast skies, light drizzle, or colder temps do not automatically qualify. Additional reschedules—weather-related or otherwise—may be subject to fees or handled case-by-case.

Please note: Mini Sessions and Discounted Sessions follow different rescheduling policies.

A. All retainer/booking fees are non-refundable and secure your session date and time. For full-priced sessions, retainers may be transferable at my discretion. Retainers range from $80–$100 for standard sessions, and up to full payment for Minis or promotional offers (such as Bluebonnet Minis, Fall Minis, Holiday Minis, or DACA specials).
All payments are final. No refunds or credits will be issued for cancellations or no-shows. In the case of full-priced sessions eligible for a reschedule, payments may be transferred to a new date—this does not apply to discounted sessions, Minis, or specials.

A. Please arrive on time. A 5–10 minute grace period is offered for standard sessions (30/60 minutes), provided you notify me before the session start time. Sessions begin at the agreed-upon time and any delay will reduce your shooting time.
Keep travel time and parking in mind when heading to your session. No-shows will not be rescheduled and all payments will be forfeited.

A. A travel fee applies for locations beyond a 20-mile radius of zip code 75044. Travel exceeding one hour will require prior discussion and approval to ensure availability and feasibility.

A. If you booked with me, it’s likely because you appreciate my editing style and artistic vision. Please do not alter your images with filters or additional edits, as this misrepresents my work.
In the spirit of “community over competition,” if my style isn’t the right fit, I’d be happy to recommend photographers whose aesthetic aligns more closely with your preferences.

A. If you require expedited delivery of your full gallery, an additional fee will apply. Expedited processing applies to the entire gallery (not individual images) and guarantees delivery within 2–4 or 5–7 days from the session date, depending on the selected option. The fee must be paid in full before expedited editing begins and is non-refundable once processing starts.

A. Galleries remain accessible for 15 days from the delivery date. A $75 reactivation fee will apply if access is needed after that window, provided the gallery is still retrievable.
For galleries older than one year, an archive retrieval fee of $125 will apply. For galleries older than two years, if still available, a retrieval fee of $175 will apply. I cannot guarantee archive access beyond two years.
