frequently asked questions
WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?
I strive to capture pure emotion in every shot I deliver. Laughter, happiness, joy, tears of thankfulness for the person you're standing next to! I've captured it all, and every emotion is always beautiful if done correctly. Golden hour sessions will always have my heart, but we can make any time of day work if necessary! I strive for warm tones and fresh colors in all of my images.. Check out my portfolio page to get a feel for my style!
HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?
For portrait sessions, you'll typically receive around 50-60 images for a one hour session. This mostly varies due to the number of people involved in the shoot and/or travel times if we're shooting at more than one location. For weddings, I typically produce around 60 images per hour when photographing by myself. Those numbers vary depending on the day itself. If you have more questions on image quantity, feel free to shoot me a message and we can talk about it!
WHAT ARE YOUR PACKAGES AND PRICES?
You can find my prices and packages for portrait sessions under the PRICING page, but every wedding gets a custom quote! Since every wedding day is so different, I create custom packages for each of my clients. For a custom wedding quote, fill out the contact form and I’ll be in touch with you shortly!
DO YOU DELIVER EVERY IMAGE YOU SHOOT?
No, I do not. I don't add in duplicate images, test shots, or shots that are out of focus. I don’t expect you to take the time to zoom into each image to select the one with the sharpest focus, so I spend part of my editing time doing that for you. I want you to receive a gallery full of candid laughs, emotional tears, and shots of the kids making funny faces. I believe those are some of the best images from the day - the ones you'll look back on in a few years and smile because you remember that moment!
DO YOU HELP PUT TOGETHER A WEDDING DAY TIMELINE?
Yes! Helping you create a timeline makes me jump up and down with excitement! I love helping my couples get a visual of what their day could look like. On our very first phone call together we’ll actually be creating a tentative outline of the day so we can create a custom wedding package that fits your needs.
HOW ARE MY IMAGES DELIVERED?
Your images from your session will be delivered by an online gallery. This allows you to view and download your images straight from the website link I send you. The link to your images can also be shared with family and friends if you wish to do so!
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE MY PHOTOS ARE DELIVERED AFTER THE SESSION?
Weddings: 8-10 weeks. Portrait Sessions: 14 days.
HOW DO PAYMENT SCHEDULES WORK?
I require a $300 retainer to reserve your spot and the remaining amount is due by the day of the wedding. You can split these payments to help to make it more affordable. I am happy to work with you.
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT TO WEAR FOR AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT?
I completely got you, friend! I’ll send you some outfit inspiration and answer any questions you have. Always feel free to text me directly with photos of the outfits you’re considering as well and we can talk through them!
SHOULD WE DO AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
I highly recommend engagement sessions for a number of reasons. The most important one is that we will have an opportunity to meet, hang out and work together and become friends before your big day arrives which is a huge benefit for both of us! I offer a discounted engagement session for anyone that books a wedding with me. :)
DO YOU WORK WITH A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
I always have the option to add on a second photographer in your wedding day.
DO YOU EDIT ALL OUR PHOTOGRAPHS?
Yes I do! Each photo is hand-edited. Every lighting situation is different so no two images can be edited the exact same way.
DO YOU PROVIDE VIDEO SERVICES?
I don’t, but I have friends that are fabulous at it and can recommend some great videographers for you!
DO THE FILES COME WITH A WATERMARK?
No, the images I deliver will not be watermarked.
