How do we secure you for a photoshoot/wedding?
To lock in your date with me, I require a signed contract and a non - refundable 50% retainer! That’s it! :) For photoshoots, the final 50% payment is due 7 days before your session. For weddings/elopements, the final 50% payment is due one month before the event.
We’ve never had professional photos before.
Will you help us with posing/ideas?
YES!!!!! Absolutely! I hear this from my clients ALLLL the time. I 1,000% understand! I love, love, love to meet up and help you feel as cozy and comfortable as possible! I clip my speaker to my fanny pack and ask you all about your life & we frolic and have fun!!! I give you prompts rather than poses! The more movement and laughter, the better! I’m also a sucker for alllll the snuggly and lovey dovey moments. My goal is to photograph you as your most authentic, natural selves. Calm or crazy! Bring it on! :)
When can we expect our gallery/what is the turnaround time for portraits to be delivered?
For photoshoots: portraits are delivered 14 days from the shoot!
For weddings: timing can vary based on busy months! My usual turn around time is 8 weeks. Weddings booked in busy months can take up to 10 weeks.
How will you deliver our portraits?
I digitally deliver your portraits by email, using an online gallery called Pixieset! You’ll have access to download your edited images from the gallery using your email address and a 4 Digit PIN# I provide.
How soon should we book you?
I book out as far as 12 months in advance! :) The sooner, the better.
What time of day is best for lighting?
EARLY morning, sunrise. Or about one hour before sunset! I prefer “blue hour” which happens after “golden hour.” ;)
For indoor shoots, timing can vary depending on where the windows are!
Can we have the RAW photos?
I do not deliver RAW images. That would be like handing you a blank canvas! ;)
How do we know our photos are safe?
My partner and I shoot with a double card slot! Our cameras write to both cards! Additionally, we bring multiple cameras. When the day is over, we backup the portraits to multiple hard drives. ;)
Do you travel?
HECK YES!
Travel fees vary depending on where you’d like to go!
