Top Questions (Most Asked)

Book online anytime—it’s free to schedule. Just choose the service you want and pick a date.


2) Where do sessions happen?

Most sessions are at my studio, but you can also choose:


3) Can you travel to my hotel?

Yes. If you choose a hotel, I can travel around San Antonio and nearby areas like Boerne, New Braunfels, Austin, Fredericksburg, and more.


4) Can I bring a friend?

Yes—bring a friend if it helps you feel comfortable. It often turns into a fun, supportive “hype” vibe.

You’ll meet our makeup artist when you arrive. Hair + makeup typically takes about 1.5 hours and we usually go for a soft glam look (customized to your preference).


6) I’m nervous… is that normal?

Totally normal. The first ~20 minutes are basically warm-up/practice shots. After that, you’ll relax and the real magic starts.

You’ll receive your gallery to select photos to be edited within 24 hours after your session, along with your invoice link.


8) Can I do a payment plan?

Yes. Your invoice can be paid:
