Frequently Asked Questions
I offer retouching for instances such as a sudden acne attack, bumps, bruises, or scratches or situations that will likely go away within a few weeks. If it’s something permanent, however, I do not remove that from your images. It’s part of who you are and what makes you unique and beautiful!
Do you retouch images?
The majority of my wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session, a full gallery including all of your digital images, prints, and/ or wedding albums. In addition to that, I’ll be here to help you establish your timeline, develop a shot list, discuss locations, and suggest any adjustments that may help your day go by easier, without it being overwhelming or stressful. Your wedding photographer is with you more than any other vendors through the wedding process - from your engagement session and structuring your wedding timeline, from getting hair and makeup done to dancing at your reception, all the way to building a wedding album together. I want to ensure that we’ll be a good match so that this life milestone is fun, easy, and memorable for you and your spouse.
What all do you offer with wedding packages?
Absolutely! I love traveling and working in new locations. I've traveled throughout the United States and parts of Canada for photography, along with quite a few cities across Western Europe for fun, so I'm always up for a new adventure.
Do you travel for sessions/ weddings?
On average, 8-12 weeks for weddings, and 2-4 weeks for all other sessions, depending on the season.
What is the turnaround time for my images?
Yes! I have a standard set of packages that you can choose from, or you have the option to customize packages based off your specific needs within reason.
Can I customize my session/ wedding package?
Love is love and that's all that's all that matters. I am completely supportive of the LGBTQ+ community and will do everything to ensure your comfort and happiness with any and all of your sessions.
Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?
All sessions include a gallery of your digital JPEG images that are available to download. Prints and albums are complimentary with certain packages, and are available to add on to any session, if not initially included.
What format do you deliver images in?
You can submit a form here on the website, call, text, email, or message either of my social media accounts. From there, we’ll ideally set up a phone call to discuss what you’re looking for and see if we’re a good fit. Once that’s established, you’ll sign a contract and pay a 30% nonrefundable deposit towards your session/ wedding date. And then the fun really begins! We’ll go over styling advice, locations, become absolute visionaries and besties, and once your date rolls around, it’ll be a walk in a park. [quite possibly literally. I love parks]
What is the booking process?
I'm currently shooting on a Nikon Z9 (a full frame mirrorless camera) with 50mm, 24-70mm, and 70-200mm lenses. I also have a Nikon Z7II for backup (another full frame mirrorless camera).
What kind of equipment do you use?
One hundred percent! As a professional, your safety and my safety are of the utmost importance. My anxiety wouldn't have peace of mind otherwise!
Are you insured?
Yes! All images are backed up on external hard drives and the cloud.
Do you back up your images?
Is that even a question? Bring your dog, bring your friend's dog, your neighbor's dog - I am here for as many slobbery dog kisses and fuzzy snuggles as I can handle. And that's a lot. Your fur baby is ALWAYS welcome! (Please be considerate if your dog is extremely aggressive, however, and give me a heads up before the session)
Can I bring my dog?
First off, get that mentality out of here. You are STUNNING and I absolutely can't wait to capture all the things that make you uniquely YOU! However, I totally get the nerves. I am not what they would call a "natural" in front of the camera in any way. But don't worry! I gotchu. I am going to be your biggest cheerleader and I am not afraid to make a fool of myself to get some genuine reactions from you. If there’s something you’re self conscious about, we’ll work around it together and make you feel the most beautiful! At the end of the day, I want you to love your images and help bring out your most confident self.
What if I'm not very 'photogenic'?
I do not deliver raw or unedited images to any of my clients. This would not be a true or full representation of my quality of work or style, nor how I want my work to be viewed.
