FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION'S
FAQS General
Do you charge for travel?
Local travel is not an additional charge. If travel exceeds 1 hour for portrait sessions, an appropriate fee will be calculated to compensate for gas mileage. For wedding destinations that are 2 hours or more, compensation will be privately discussed with each client to fairly determine a cost for gas, flights, overnight stays, etc.
What is your response time?
I will get back to emails and inquiries no later than 48 hours Monday-Friday. Though you can expect a quicker response from me, there are occasions that I have back-to-back bookings and my hands are quite full.
What should we wear for photos?
A wardrobe brochure is included to set you up for success! This brochure will include what colors, styles, and fabrics to stay away from, as well as what to lean towards!
How far out can I book you?
The earliest I will book weddings is 1 year out. The earliest I will book portrait sessions is 6 months out. If you have a last minute request and I am available, we can make it happen!
Can I have the raw files?
I do not offer the raw files of my images, as editing is what makes my style unique! I take great pride in my art, and do not feel comfortable giving away my images to be styled in a different way. If there is ever a time you are unhappy with your edits, we can respectfully discuss a solution!
How do payment schedules work?
I collect 30% of the overall payment as your security deposit. The remaining balance can be divided into a payment plan that works for you!
What is your turnaround time for galleries?
I aim to get final galleries back to clients as soon as possible! For portrait sessions I give an estimation of 1-4 weeks for the entire gallery; for wedding packages 6-8 weeks. The time of year and workload will impact the delivery of your gallery. Please remember, previews will be sent for every service 24-48 hours after your session or event.
FAQS Portrait Edition
I can only wear 1 outfit for my hour session?
I always tell clients it is *their* hour! If you want to change outfits, you are more than welcome. However, it will cut into our photoshoot time and may affect the amount of photos you receive.
When do you typically schedule a photoshoot?
Photoshoots are done an hour before sunset or sunrise. I schedule photoshoots Monday - Thursday, as weekends are reserved for wedding inquiries. If you will be doing your photoshoot indoors, we will plan for earlier in the day/afternoon where natural window light is strongest.
What if I am late to my photoshoot?
Photoshoot times are critically planned around the best lighting of the day. In the event we lose sun, it will take a toll on your image quality. Life happens, traffic happens. If you are going to be late please let me know! If you are more than 20 minutes late, this will cut into your photoshoot time.
What if we have to reschedule?
It happens! If you must reschedule, I ask you to let me know as early as possible. My contract states to let me know 48-hours in advance for reschedules. In the event of an emergency I am more than willing to work with you ! I cannot guarantee I will have the availability you need for a new date, but I will work with you as much as I can!
FAQS Wedding Edition
Can I add additional hours?
Absolutely! In the event you will need more than 8 hours of coverage, we can add time by the hour. Each additional hour will start at $350 for one photographer and $500/hr for two.
Can I purchase an album?
I am so excited to say, yes! If you are interested in having an album made after you receive your gallery, We can discuss details, price range and size to satisfy the album you are looking for!
Can I add a Second Shooter?
Of course you may! Second photographers are hired by a half-day/full-day basis. For more information, please visit the Investment tab.
