FAQ

Can I bring someone with me to the shoot?

Yes with some important caveats. You’re welcome to bring someone if they’ll be supportive, positive, and contribute to a relaxed and creative atmosphere. For example, a friend who keeps the vibes upbeat or someone participating in the shoot is more than welcome.

However, I kindly ask that you do not bring anyone who might create stress or distractions this includes people who try to control the shoot(that was not pre-arranged), children who aren’t being photographed, or anyone likely to cause tension. The goal is to make this a fun, focused, and empowering experience for you.

If you’re unsure, just ask I’m happy to talk it through beforehand.

What should I wear?

Wear something that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and authentically you. Solid colors tend to photograph beautifully, and layered textures (like knits, denim, or linen) can add visual interest. Avoid bold logos or overly busy patterns unless they’re an intentional part of your style. Feel free to bring multiple outfit options we’ll pick together based on the look and mood you want to create.

Pro tip: Choose outfits in colors that complement your skin tone, and steer clear of anything too tight or uncomfortable you should feel amazing in whatever you wear.

Do I need to do my own hair and makeup?

Yes for now, hair and makeup are your responsibility. Keep in mind that I typically use flash photography, which can wash out lighter makeup, so it’s best to be a bit heavy-handed with your application. Think of it like stage makeup slightly bolder than usual will read best on camera. If you need help deciding what works well, I’m happy to offer guidance!

Where do the shoots take place?

I have a cozy, dedicated photo space set up in my home, fully equipped for portraits, headshots, and more. If you're looking for something outdoors or a specific aesthetic, I’m happy to shoot on location too. Just note that any location rental fees will be your responsibility, but I’ll help you find something beautiful within your vision and budget.

When will I get my photos?

You’ll receive a gallery of edited images within 1–3 weeks after your shoot. I take care in the editing process to ensure each image looks polished and aligned with the Butterfly Winds style.
