Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Ash & Thistle Located?

Located in Toledo Ohio however our clients travel to us from all over! Most of our clients come back for more than one session and rave about feeling more confident in their bodies!

When do I meet you?

The Consultation: A few months before your session you’ll visit the studio for your wardrobe + planning consult. This helps remove any nerves and plan out every detail for your session day. We’ll choose outfits and bonuses here, too!

Are you going to share my images?

Your choice.

You can sign a release for me to share at any time. I actually offer bonus digital files to those that sign the release for me to share final images and BTS during booking.

Couples Sessions:

I do not charge extra, I just need to know to prepare the studio and You Two. The prep is a little different for couples!

What If I Feel Nervous?

Almost everyone feels a little nervous before their session. That’s completely normal. The experience is designed to be guided, supportive, and paced so you can relax into it naturally.
