FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET THE FULL GALLERY?
My average turnaround time is about 30 business days give or take, but it can really just depend on how busy I am. I give my clients updates if it will take any longer.
DO YOU OFFER MINI SESSIONS?
Currently I do not, but that could always change in the future.
WHAT KIND OF CAMERA/EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I currently use a Sony mirrorless camera body (Sony a7ii), and mainly use my 35mm (Sigma Art 35mm f/ 1.4) because she just captures the *best*. I also shoot a lot with my 85mm (Sigma Art 85mm f/1.4).
DO YOU DELIVER EVERY PHOTO YOU SHOOT?
I do not. I sort through every photo and find the absolute best ones to send my clients. One thing I've learned over the years is that less is actually more, & my clients are so grateful to not be overwhelmed with so many *extra* and unnecessary photos. Quality is absolute key here & I take a lot of pride in that.
DO YOU DELIVER UNEDITED PHOTOS?
No, never. Part of my art and a huge reason my clients choose me is for how I edit my images.
WHAT ARE YOUR PRICES LIKE?
You can find that info right here
DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?
Hopefully in the near future! For right now I can rent out a studio for an upcharge if that's something you're interested in.
CAN YOU HOLD A DATE FOR ME?
I can only reserve a date once an initial payment has been made and the contract has been signed..
WHY DO I HAVE TO SIGN A CONTRACT?
For so many reasons, but mostly so that you as the client are covered and not taken advantage of, and also to protect myself as the business owner.
DO YOU WORK WITH A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
I do not work with a second photographer on a daily basis or for most general sessions, but I do have the option to use a second photographer for elopements or weddings.
DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?
Hopefully in the near future! For right now I can rent out a studio for an upcharge if that's something you're interested in.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK WITH YOU?
I can I definitely recommend booking as early as possible. Over the last year my business has grown so much (yay!) so I am booking out much faster. For regular sessions, like a lovers session or family session, you could probably book within a few months, but to get the best availability I would say at least 6+ months out. For elopements and weddings I definitely recommend booking 6 months to a year out! Bottom line- The sooner you book, the better!
WILL YOU TRAVEL FOR A SESSION?
YES, YES, YES! I love traveling and will go wherever anyone wants me to. Travel fees are not included in session pricing and are based on location and date of requested session. Contact me for a personal quote!
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS ON THE DAY OF OUR SCHEDULED SESSION?
I tend to joke that my second job is a weatherwoman because I keep track of the weather that much! If it's showing bad weather on the day of your session, the first thing I do is contact the client to see if we can reschedule- at no extra fee because none of us can control the weather, right- If we can't find a time to reschedule (hardly ever happens unless you don't live local) then your initial payment will be fully refunded to you. But- I do everything in my power to work with my clients before canceling a session!
I'M SO AWKWARD IN PHOTOS, WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS?
I think literally every person I have photographed has asked me this, and quite honestly I'm the same way when I'm in front of the camera! It all comes down to trusting your photographer. I've got so many poses and prompts in my brain, and some say I'm a super chill person, so after a few minutes it's just us hanging out and having fun- after a while you'll forget I even have a camera in my hands!
DO YOU SHOOT DESTINATION WEDDINGS OR ELOPEMENTS?
No, YES! Absolutely. I love to travel as much as I can and I love meeting new people and exploring new places. Travel fees are dependent on the location and date of your wedding or elopement. Contact me for a personal quote!
DO WE GET TO MEET YOU BEFORE OUR WEDDING OR ELOPEMENT?
No, Absolutely. I love to schedule a face to face meeting, whether that's in person or if it requires a little bit of technology. It's one of my favorite things to do with my couples because it takes some of the pressure of knowing who is going to be stalking you with a camera all day! I also like to go over your timeline, if you have one, and if you don't- then we will make one!
DO YOU TEACH OR OFFER WORKSHOPS OR MENTORSHIPS?
Currently Not yet! I don't feel I'm quite there yet, but it's definitely something that I would like to offer in the future!
