Let’s talk about my process!

1. First hello

You inquire (using the “ready to book” page), I happy dance. I’ll send over all the session info, answer any questions, and help you start dreaming up the vision.

⸻

2. Getting to know you

Before anything is official, you’ll fill out a short, thoughtful questionnaire — so I can get to know your story and your style. We’ll also choose the perfect location to match your vision. If you are inquiring about a wedding, we will also set up a call so I can hear all about your dream day!

⸻

3. Locking it in

Once we’ve nailed the vision and location, I’ll send your contract and retainer invoice via email. Once that’s taken care of, you’re officially booked! Regular sessions require a $125 deposit and weddings are 25% of the total package cost.

⸻

4. Prepping for your session

You’ll receive styling guidance, outfit tips, and all the prep you need to walk into your session feeling confident and fully yourself. Final payment is due 7 days before normal sessions and 30 days before weddings.

⸻

5. The session

This is the heart of it all. Guided and easy, with a mix of posed and candid moments that reflect the way your love or season feels. It won’t be rushed — just meaningful, intentional, and real.

⸻

6. The gallery

Your images will be delivered in a private online gallery.

• Normal sessions: within 25 business days

• Weddings: within 6–8 weeks

From there, you can download your selected images, upgrade to the full gallery, or add on extras like Polaroid keepsakes and prints.

  • There is a $125 non-refundable retainer for regular sessions and 25% retainer for weddings.

  • You can inquire through my contact form (bottom of any page) or by emailing me directly. A signed contract and non-refundable retainer officially lock in your date. I’ll guide you from there!

  • Regular sessions rang from 30-60 minutes! Wedding packages range from 4-12 hours.

  • Each session comes with a set number of edited images, but you’ll always have the option to upgrade to the full gallery if you fall in love with more (and most people do!).

    Wedding galleries will vary. Average is 50-100 images per hour!

  • My classic family session is for one household (parents + children). If you’re bringing extended family (like grandparents, adult siblings, or cousins), it’s considered an extended family session. The max for extended sessions is 20 people. After that limit, there is a $50 fee per family unit.

  • Yes! All sessions include one location of your choice. I’ll help with guidance if you’re not sure where to go — from cozy at-home vibes to wide open spaces or hidden city corners, we’ll find the perfect spot to fit your vision.

  • Absolutely! I’m based in Oklahoma, but open to travel for love and meaningful stories. Travel fees apply for locations outside the OKC metro — just reach out and we’ll chat.

    Places I travel often: 30A, Destin, PCB, Dallas, NW Arkansas, Tulsa, Wichita Mountains.

  • After booking, I’ll send you simple styling tips and guidance to help you feel confident and look like your best, true self. I’m here to help make the process stress-free. Neutrals are always my go to!

 FAQs

Kind Words From Clients

  • Surina seriously exceeded all of my expectations! I was looking for a photographer who could capture our wedding day just as it looked to us and our guests and she did just that. Each time I look at our gallery I feel like I’m back in my perfect day! In all of the wedding stresses, I could always count on her to be a rock.

    The Hustons

  • Surina is so talented with her work and really has a vision when she is taking pictures. She photographed my wedding last November and the pictures were absolutely beautiful. Everyone was raving about how great she was. Everything Surina produces is perfect and she will make you feel so relaxed while having fun too

    The Kings

  • I have had 2 sessions with Surina. Not only is she the easiest person to talk to and to get along with, but she makes the sessions so comfortable and truly a fun time. I can be awkward when it comes to taking photos, but she would make you forget the camera is even there. We are non-stop laughing and she is capturing every moment of happiness.

    The Allens

  • Surina is not only an extremely talented photographer, she also made our session fun and easy going. Surina made my wife feel absolutely comfortable and beautiful in her third trimester of pregnancy. My wife loved working with Surina. We are both so grateful for the artistic and beautiful images that she captured of our last pregnancy and child. As a husband who rarely looks forward to picture day, our session with Surina made it feel like I was on a special date with my wife and photographed the moments that truly reflect our love.
