How far in advance should I book?

For portrait sessions, I recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance. Wedding dates are available on a first-come, first-served basis—booking 6 months to 1 year ahead is ideal to secure your date.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, a non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date. Retainers vary by package:

• Mini sessions: $50

• Weddings & large events: $500–$1000

What’s the process for booking?

Visit my Experience Page for full details! The process is simple, personalized, and efficient.

Can I schedule a consultation before booking?

Absolutely! I encourage consultations for all clients and require them for weddings and events to ensure we’re the perfect fit.

How many photos will I receive, and in what format?

• Portrait sessions: 10–100 edited images

• Weddings & events: 250–1000 edited images

All images are delivered via online gallery.

Do you deliver raw, unedited images?

No. To protect the integrity of my work, I do not provide RAW files. All delivered images reflect the quality and consistency my clients expect.

When will I receive my photos?

• Portrait sessions: Within 1–6 weeks

• Weddings & events: Within 12–16 weeks

What is your editing style, and can I request specific edits?

My style is natural, timeless, and true to the moment. I aim for images that reflect the memory as you experienced it. You can request:

• Black and white versions

• Minor retouches, as long as they align with my aesthetic

Do I receive high-resolution and social media-sized images?

Yes! Every gallery includes both formats for easy downloading and sharing.

Do you travel for weddings or events?

Yes, I do! Travel fees are as follows:

• Over 1 hour drive: $200

• Domestic (with flights): $500

• International: $1000+ based on destination

Do you photograph destination weddings?

Absolutely! If a resort stay is required, I ask for lodging to be covered. Otherwise, travel fees apply as listed above.

Do you bring a second shooter or assistant?

A second shooter or assistant is available as an add-on for an additional fee.

How do you help clients feel comfortable in front of the camera?

I build rapport with every couple beforehand, and I guide you through prompts—not stiff poses—to help create genuine moments and authentic emotions.

Do you help with posing or a shot list?

Yes! I use a wedding checklist and request that you send a Pinterest board to capture your vision. I guide posing when needed, especially for group and portrait shots, while encouraging natural interaction.

What happens if the weather is bad on our shoot day?

We’ll evaluate conditions together and reschedule at no cost based on mutual availability.

What’s your cancellation and rescheduling policy?

• Rescheduling is free and flexible.

• Cancellations are non-refundable unless initiated by the photographer.

• Extenuating circumstances are always considered with compassion.

What happens if you can’t shoot my wedding due to an emergency?

In case of emergency, I have a trusted network of photographers available to step in. If no alternative is acceptable to you, I will fully refund all payments including your retainer, and assist in finding a replacement.

Do I have the rights to print and share my photos?

Yes! You will receive a limited-use license for personal use and printing.

Will you share my photos on your website or social media?

It’s standard policy to use select images for marketing. However, if you have privacy concerns—such as keeping children offline or delaying announcement photos—I am always open to contract adjustments.

How should I prepare for my session?

You’ll receive a style guide and some helpful prep tips in advance. I also recommend browsing Pinterest for inspiration!

Can I send photo inspiration or a Pinterest board?

Yes—please do! I encourage clients to share vision boards or image inspiration to help me capture your ideal look and feel.

Do you help with timeline planning for weddings?

Yes! I assist with timeline planning and work directly with your day-of coordinator to keep everything running smoothly.
