Frequently Asked Questions

  • How far in advance should I book?

    We recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance, or as much time as you can give. The more notice, the better we can plan and ensure your session goes perfectly — especially for outdoor golden hour sessions or weekend availability.

  • Can I bring outfit changes?

    Yes. We suggest bringing 1–2 outfits or more. We’ll help you plan what works best for your goals and the environment.

  • Do you offer group portraits?

    Absolutely. We photograph couples, siblings, best friends, ministry teams, and more.

  • Where do portrait sessions take place?

    Most sessions take place outdoors in local Lexington parks or meaningful personal locations. In-home and studio-style backdrops are also available upon request — we’ll go wherever works best for you, whenever you’d like to have your session.

  • Can I use my portraits for professional or business use?

    Yes. We offer commercial licensing for headshots and branding portraits. Just let us know where your images will be used.
