Answers to all of the questions my clients typically ask

FAQs

 

  • 6 weeks or less! I spend a lot of time and work really hard to make sure you receive a gallery you’ll LOVE. If you need them sooner, just let me know because there’s an option to rush them.

  • I don’t. Mostly because RAW files are VERY large and difficult to send and receive.  But also because they aren’t a true representation of my work. I like to think of it like getting a cake from a baker before they’ve had the chance to put the icing on… that little extra special signature finish is what completes it (plus, who wants an unfinished cake?!)

  • I don’t ever delete or trash photos. When I send out your finished gallery, I always suggest downloading your files to a usb or the cloud so you have personal copies. Your gallery will have an expiration date on it.   After the expiration date, they may not be available via your gallery link, but I will always keep a hard copy because you never know what might happen. Being prepared is just what I do!

  • I’m very relaxed & calm and usually my sessions are the same way. I love getting to know you and having some fun, but without any pressure!  I’ll help give you prompts so we can get some great [and REAL] shots, but don’t expect an overabundance of posing instructions from me – I’ll obviously suggest things to make sure you’re lookin’ goodddd (like tips on posture or flattering angles), but I’d rather shoot you as you are!  And as far as editing goes, I tend to like a more light and bright look – one where YOU are the focus.

  • No worries, I understand it’s a big investment! But I don’t want that to be the reason we don’t work together. I can customize sessions to fit your needs and I also offer payment plans. Reach out so we can work it out together.

  • First I pick the very best photos from our session and then I go through and edit each one. Once they’re done, I’ll be sending you an email with information and a link to your private online gallery.  From there, you’ll be able to ‘favorite’ images, download them, order prints, and even upgrade your gallery to receive them ALL if you’d like to!

  • With each session package, there are a set number of photos that are included. But a lot of people see their finished gallery and decide they want ALLLLL the photos (which makes me do a little happy dance that you’re as excited as I am about them!). So, if that’s you, you can choose to upgrade your galley to purchase the rest of your images. You’ll have the opportunity to do this after you receive your edited images.

  • I shoot Monday-Thursday and always recommend shooting around sunset (or sunrise if you’re a morning person!). Why? The lighting during this time of day is optimal… they don’t call it “golden hour” for nothing, right?! 

  • I sure do! When you receive your online gallery, you will have the option to order prints straight from your gallery if you’d like - it makes everything quick and super easy.

  • I do require a retainer fee. This will lock in your date and time that way if I get requests from other clients for the same day, I can say “Sorry, I’m already working with some awesome people on that day, how about another date?”.  I also do prep work ahead of our shoot including some outfit styling, location assistance, as well as checking the timing and weather to make sure we have nothing to worry about on the day of. And then the remaining balance is due 2 weeks prior to our session.

  • Ahhhh! I can’t waittttt!! Go ahead and book your session HERE or if you have questions first, complete this form. If you have a date & time in mind already, that’s super helpful to send over also and then we’ll get something on the calendar!!
