The FAQ

Do you Travel?

I do! If it is within driving distance I charge .50 cents per mile round trip. If it is a trip that should require an overnight stay the travel fee will include the mileage fee and cost of a hotel. If it is 6 hours or more the fee will included air fare and cost of a hotel. Message me for an estimate as this varies from wedding to wedding!

Do you offer payment arrangements?

Yes! I am very flexible. Professional photos is a luxury but a luxury I believe every family deserves. I offer specific payment plans on weddings and if you reach out to me about a payment arrangement on another session type we can work together to come up with a plan that works for you! We can split it up to make it easier for you as long as it is paid in full by your session date.

How many photos do we get?

The number of photos you receive will vary based off type of session, length of session, outfit changes, and cooperation. But I never limit photos. Even on minis, if it's a good one it is getting edited and sent your way! I just can't throw away a perfect picture.

How do we get our photos?

I upload all photos of your completed gallery into a personal album through my website where you have access to download all photos in high resolution. You also have an option to purchase professional prints directly from your gallery, as well, through the website that arrive directly to your house. However, you may take your images and print anywhere you would like!

Do you retouch photos?

I do! This is what, I believe, sets my work apart from most. I take the time to hand edit every photo in your gallery. I don't "slap a filter on" or let AI take care of it. Unless asked specifically not to, my normal workflow of my edits entail skin smoothing, color enhancement, removal of unwanted items/distractions in the photos, as well as my signature editing style to your entire gallery to keep everything consistent throughout from start to finish.

Whats your turn around time?

Turnaround time may vary based on time of year and what type of session it is. Weddings, of course, take longer with several hours and thousands of images to work through. Peak wedding season when I am shooting back to back weddings may up to 3 months to be fully completed, However, generally sessions when not in peak season only take up to a couple weeks to be uploaded and sent out. Feel free to ask me on my current turnaround time!

How do we book you?

Just reach out to me through Facebook is the best way to reach me and my most utilized form of communication that I check daily! Sometimes my replies may take longer than usual with mom life + shooting sessions but I will get back with you as soon as I can!

Can you help us with planning?

Absolutely! Ask me all the questions! I can suggest styling outfit ideas, locations, and best time for lighting!

How far out do you book?

Weddings I am booking out as far as 1-2 years in advance, especially for spring and fall wedding dates. All other sessions I fill in where I can but you can expect at least a month to 2 month wait in busy seasons such as fall when the leaves are changing. Seniors often book these popular times of the year in advance, as well.

What should we wear?

Start by picking the color scheme you wish for your photos. Do you want warm and neutrals of sand and whites or do you wish for some pops of color with some rust, burgundy, or emerald green ( my personal faves)? Pick the colors you’d like then make sure your family coordinates and match but not too much! Make sure everyone stands out in their own way but have touches that tie in together as a group. And pro tip: add texture! Texture adds dimension to your photos and pulls the eye in.

Do you shoot elopements?

Absolutely! They are actually my favorite. I love how intimate and unique each one is to the couple. I love the freeness to create literal art with your love story that an elopement allows. Message me for a quote! These vary so much but generally you can expect around $1000 sometimes less, sometimes more depending on where and how long you want me!
