"I came from Mississippi and booked Jessica to do our engagement photos. Not only did she pick out the most perfect location I had in mind, she made us very comfortable in front of the camera and was so kind to us! Then on top of that, we got our absolutely stunning photos back in record time! I fully recommend her and her professional photos!"
-Lauren J.
Booking
To reserve your session date, a $100 non-refundable retainer is required and will be applied toward your session investement.
I understand that life happens, so you're welcome to reschedule your session once at no additional charge, with proper notice. If sudden severe weather makes your session impractical, we'll work together to find a new date without penalty.
After one complimentary reschedule, any additional rescheduling will require a new $100 non-refundable payment to reserve your new date. If a new session date is not scheduled within 30 days of the original session date, the retainer(s) are forfeited and cannot be transferred or applied toward a future session.
Portrait sessions outside of El Paso County are subject to a travel fee, which varies based on the distance from Socorro, TX.
Please allow up to 2 weeks for your gallery to be ready.
Rush Service $150- Have your gallery ready within 48 hours.
Multiple family units in a session- $75
Session Info
Your session can take place at a location that feels meaningful to you. If you have a favorite spot in mind, we can make it happen. But if you're not sure where to start, I'll help bring your vision together with my location guide featuring some of my favorite spots. Together, we can find a setting that fits the look and feel you're envisioning for your photos.
Being on time for your session helps us make the most of the time we have together. This is especially important for sessions scheduled around sunset, when every minute of natural light matters. Please arrive ready to go with everything you need, and if possible, a few minutes early. This gives us a chance to settle in, get comfortable, and ease into the session without feeling rushed.
I recommend keeping your session to just the people who will be photographed. Having extra people can sometimes be distracting. Of course, if you need someone to come along for assistance with wardrobe, mobility, or anything else, they're absolutely welcome.
Tips
Try to avoid bright neon-type colors in natural settings- for example, bright red isn't the best in a warm desert setting. Clothing that moves is always a plus for ladies, like flowy dresses, or fitted & chic works for a more modern vibe.
If one person is wearing a pattern, another person can wear a solid. You can follow this pattern with larger groups, or everyone can wear solids.
Avoid large logos. Mixing and matching neutral tones works best.
While jewelry is great, Apple watches don't look good in your photos.
For engagement sessions, it's best to avoid wearing multiple rings on the left hand.
Leave your phones in the car or have one bag to tote around, bulky phones and keys in your pockets aren't a good look.
Feel free to bring things you'd like to incorporate in your session; for example, a blanket that coordinates with your color scheme, champagne or beers for engaged couples, a favorite toy or chair for a child, animals if they are well behaved, etc.
