Frequently Asked Questions
- What are your hours?
-
Shoots are by appointment only, Tuesday - Saturday. Weekend time slots book well in advance, so please consider this when planning for your shoot.
- Where are you located?
-
My studio is located just over an hour from Panama City Beach Florida!
Many out of state clients who travel in for their photoshoots, fly into Panama City Beach and often stay the night there. The studio is just inside the Alabama state line in the friendly city of Dothan!
We are conveniently located downtown at 294 West Main Street, suite 101, Dothan Alabama 36301
- Do you offer hair and makeup?
-
GUESS WHAT... Not only am I a photographer, I am a seasoned HAIR AND MAKEUP ARTIST. Although my main FOCUS (pun intended) will always be in the camera room, I do occasionally find time to assist clients with their hair and makeup needs.
I also offer hair and makeup lessons using my own private cosmetic line!
If you are in need of assistance with hair and makeup, PLEASE let me know at the time of your booking as special time and preparation is always needed. IF NOT WELL PLANNED FOR AHEAD OF TIME, I cannot promise I will have time to help with hair and or makeup during your photography session. I WILL NEED TO SCHEDULE TIME FOR HAIR AND MAKEUP at the time of your booking. Please note, I only style ages 10 and up.
In an effort to spend more time in the camera room and less time with actual preparation, I always encourage my clients to come fully prepared or at least partially prepared for their photoshoots. This is especially encouraged during busy seasons.

The bulk of my clients come pre-styled and ready to shoot. I welcome anyone who wishes to use their regular hair and makeup artist. I fully understand the relationship between the pageant queen and her hair and makeup artist. Feel free to use who you have come to know and love for your shoot. I totally get it girl! Touch-ups are offered at absolutely NO CHARGE no matter who prepares you for your fabulous photoshoot!
For those who are new to pageantry and would like a referral for a makeup artist in the area for their shoot, I am often asked who I recommend for hair and makeup services. I'm happy to provide those who book with me a list of local professionals who can provide amazing looks for their shoots and beyond!
- Do you accept reservations?
-
YES, I work by appointment only, so a reservation is required in order to book your photoshoot. Reservation fees (aka "creative fees") begin at $50 for a weekday photoshoot and $100 for a Saturday appointment. On location services begin at $150 to reserve your time and date. Reservation fees are non-refundable.
- What payment options do you accept?
-
Cash, Check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express are all acceptable forms of payment. We also accept paypal and square invoice payments for reservation fees. Please note that images are not released for check payments until check has cleared our bank.
- How long is the typical wait?
-
We are not a "shoot and burn" studio. We take the proper amount of time needed to properly process your images and do any necessary color corrections, sizing etc prior to client viewing. For this reason, client proofs are typically released within one week / ten days after your shoot. Wedding and other events may take a little longer for a full release, but we do promise to post sneak peeks as soon as we possibly can onto our blog or social media! The extra time invested for a QUALITY product will be well worth it!
- Do you have a cancellation policy?
-
All reservation fees (deposits) are non refundable. However, we do offer to reschedule appointments cancelled when given a full 48 hour notice with no additional charges. Same day cancellations will require an additional reservation fee to reschedule.
