The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Yes! My standard travel includes locations within 1 hour (for families) to 3 hours (for weddings) of my home, however, other travel can be arranged as an addition to your package.
How long have you been doing this?
I've been passionate about both art as a whole, and photography specifically for most of my life. However, it was in 2018 when I finally decided to follow my passion for photography, and began offering my services publicly.
How many photos do we get?
That is entirely dependent on how many print products you receive. Each photo selected for your print products will also be delivered to you as a digital file. You may choose to only use the print products that come with your package, or to add on additional prints, album spreads, or wall art. When you add additional print products, you will also receive the corresponding digital files.
How do we get our photos?
For families: After the session, I will work on your photos, and when they are done, I will notify you. Then, we can do a Zoom or in-person reveal, where I will show you all your photo choices, and we will select which photos you'd like for each of the included print products in your package (and add additional products at this time, if desired). I will then design any photo books using your choices, and place the full order for you. We will eagerly wait for it to be delivered, and depending on your location, I can deliver it to you myself, or send it over to you after I inspect the products to ensure they meet my standards. After the print order is placed, you will receive a link to an online gallery, where you can download the digital files which correspond to the prints you will be receiving.
For weddings: You will receive your digital files in an online gallery within 4-6 weeks of the wedding. You will then choose which photos you would like for the print products included in your package, which we will keep organized by folders within the gallery.
Do you retouch photos?
I do my professional post-processing workflow on all of the photos I edit, which includes lighting and color adjustments, as well as some special-sauce edits for skin smoothness and clarity. More advanced edits are an additional cost.
Whats your turn around time?
For family photos, my turnaround time is between 2-3 weeks, but videos may take a bit longer to finish up, as it's an entirely separate process, which is an art of its own. The turnaround time for videos is about 6 - 8 weeks depending on the time of year. And the turnaround time for wedding photos is about 4-6 weeks depending on the time of year as well.
How do we book you?
Shoot me an email on my contact page, and include as much booking info as you can (what type of session you're after, dates, etc.) and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm able!
Can you help us with planning?
I am here to help your experience be stress-free and fun! I will help you with whatever I can, including connecting you with local vendors who can help you look your best. And if you're getting married and need help planning, I know some amazing people!!
How far out do you book?
For families, I typically don't book further out than 6 months at a time. For weddings, I usually am booking the current year, and the upcoming year.
What should we do for an engagement session?
I'd love to get creative with you! If you want a one-of-a-kind experience that brings out your personalities, let's do it! I'll help you with planning, and we will make it happen.
What should we wear?
For family and couples sessions, I will send you my style guide to spark your creativity and help guide you through the whole experience. Also: Ask me about my client wardrobe.
