FAQs
The questions people usually want answered before they write. How much it costs, what’s included, where we meet, and how we start.
The real questions
How much does a portrait session cost?
$525 for the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Dauphin Island, and the farm. $1,190 for Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach. Same session. 50% to hold the date. Payment plans if you need them.
Why are the sessions twice as expensive in Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach, Alabama?
Since I live in Gautier, traveling that far is a half day for me, and sometimes requires me spending the night for early sessions or if the weather isn’t cooperative. Travel costs are factored in. You’re always welcome to drive my way to save on your session costs.
What’s included in a session?
One calm hour, a full edited gallery, and printing rights. I help with clothes and timing before we meet. Pictures that can live on a wall, not only in a phone.
Where do you photograph?
At our farm in Gautier, on the beaches of the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast, or a place that’s already special to you. Dauphin Island, Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach too. I’ll travel farther wherever your story leads.
Who is this for?
Families in the middle of their lives. Children, maternity, seniors. Beach or farm. Weddings too, if you want them. If you’ve been putting pictures off because it feels like a production, this is for you.
How does a session work?
You write me. We pick a date. I help with clothes and timing. We meet for one hour. The gallery usually arrives in two or three weeks. Posing is my job.
How do we book?
Write me. Tell me who it is for and when you are hoping. I write back. We pick a date. Then we talk clothes and timing.
What are your office hours?
9 to 5, Monday through Friday, CST. That’s when I write back and take calls. Sessions themselves are morning or evening, when the light is kind. I’m based in Gautier, Mississippi.
Before we begin
What should we wear?
Soft, quiet colors — cream, sage, dusty blue, blush, warm tan. Coordinate, don’t match. Pick two or three colors and let each person wear their own thing. Skip busy patterns and neons. After you book, I help so you don’t have to guess.
What about little ones?
Kids don’t hate family photos. They might just hate standing still and being told to smile. Feed everyone before you come. Protect naps if you can. Tell them you’re going to play. A favorite toy is welcome. Posing is my job.
When do sessions happen?
Morning or evening, when the light is kind. Plan to arrive about ten minutes early so everyone can settle.
How long is the gallery available?
Your gallery stays up for three months from delivery. Download your pictures and order prints before it closes.
Weddings
How far in advance should we book?
As soon as you have your date and venue. Popular dates fill 12–18 months ahead. I take a limited number of weddings each year so I can take good care of you.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes. I’m based in Gautier, Mississippi, and regularly serve the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast — Dauphin Island, Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, and the rest of the coast. I’ll travel farther wherever your story leads. Write me and I’ll tell you what that looks like.
What’s included in wedding coverage?
The Signature Wedding Collection is $3,500. An engagement or bridal session. Up to 8 hours. A full gallery. Printing rights. Add-ons and travel are on the wedding pricing page.
How do we receive our wedding images?
A private online gallery for looking, sharing, and downloading. Weddings usually arrive in 4–6 weeks. Prints and albums are available when you’re ready.
Portraits
How much do portraits cost?
On the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Dauphin Island, and the farm, the session is $525. In Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach, it is $1,190. One hour, a full gallery, and printing rights. Add-ons are on the pricing pages. Payment plans are available.
What kinds of sessions do you offer?
Family, children, maternity, newborn, baptism, senior, quinceañera, and pet portraits. At the beach, on our farm, at your home, or another place that fits. I’ll help you choose.
Do you photograph at the beach or on a farm?
Both. The session is the same. The farm is on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, so those sessions are $525. Alabama beaches are $1,190.
How long until we get our photos?
Portrait galleries usually arrive in 2–3 weeks. You’ll get a link to look, share, and download.
Do you offer prints?
Yes. Prints, canvas, and albums, so the pictures can live in the house. Details are on the pricing pages and in your gallery after the session.
Anna was fantastic to work with before, during and after the session! The session was not stressful at all! She met the kids where they were at to find their personalities! We love the journalistic style along with the portraits. Would highly recommend and hope to do another session in the future! Thank you!!
