1.REIVENTED family portraits!

​

​

Bloom offers a fresh take on family portraits, moving away from the traditional, stiff poses and forced smiles.

  • What sets you apart from other photographers?
    With years of training under my belt, I know how to pose and guide clients to make them feel relaxed while looking their very best. I use natural lighting as often as possible and make sure my sessions are intimate & fun!
  • I don't know how to pose... Is that a problem?
    I have shot women of all ages and shapes. Most don't know how to pose but everyone leaves with awesome pictures. That is why you are hiring me. My job is to guide you through every step and make you look and feel the best you've ever felt. Your job is to relax and have fun!
  • Will my photos be posted publicly on your site or social media?
    I respect your privacy and allow each client to decide whether or not they want their photos displayed publicly. I’d love to show off you & your images, if you’re game! If not, that's okay, too.
  • Will you Photoshop my images to hide any unwanted spots, wrinkles, etc?
    Minor edits will be made to all of your images, but I believe our imperfections are what make us beautiful & unique. If its temporary (acne, scab, etc.) I will remove it.
  • Can I bring a friend?
    Yes! It is encouraged to bring a friend to the shoot to hype you up and you can ask about our special prices for bringing a friend. Please note that friends will be asked to not interfere with the photoshoot. But they are welcome to observe.
  • Do I have to order prints through you?
    Yes, you will need to purchase an album from me to have the print release. once the album is delivered, you will also receive all digital files from that album with print release. I still highly recommend ordering through me for the best results.
  • What equipment do you use?
    I use a Nikon D750 body with my go to 50mm f1.4 which I find to be a perfect combination to get the most natural look. I mostly use natural light to get a more intimate feel and I also find flashes or big strobes intimidating for clients.
  • Can you shoot at the location of my choice?
    Yes! I’ve shot dozens of sessions at clients preferred location as they felt more comfortable that way. There is a travel fee and I require a few photos of the location before hand to be insure it is a good fit.
  • How do I reserve my boudoir session?
    Call or email me to tell me your story and see if we are a good fit. Then, a 450$ deposit & signed contract is required in order to get your shoot on the calendar. The remainder of your balance is due at the selection session.
