Frequently Asked Questions


HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SHOOTING STYLE?

I love to capture raw emotion and in-between moments, so it's very rare that I ever overly pose my clients. My approach will typically involve a lot of motion, a lot of snuggling, and a lot of you just being...you. It's basically us just hanging out, only I have a camera and get realllyyyyy in your space. My editing style is difficult to describe, but the closest I can get is "warm and moody." Really, the best way to see what I mean is to check out my portfolio or take a peek at my Instagram and/or FB

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO EDIT THAT OUT, RIGHT?

Now that we're on the subject of editing, please know that I will never, ever edit a photo in a way that takes away from you as a unique, authentic human being. Yes, I will take care of some blemishes, acne, coloration, maybe a stray hair or two. However, I do not believe in altering the appearance of an individual beyond those smaller changes. There is no one in the world who is just like you, WHY would we try to change that?!


HOW DO I BOOK YOU?

Shoot me an email or give me a call!! Once we set up a date I will send you a contract and an invoice with a 30% deposit fee to reserve the date of your session/event. Once you send me the signed contract and the deposit, I will pencil you in! WOOHOO!! That was easy!   


WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?

I accept Cash & EMT (email money transfer)

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT IN A SESSION?

So here’s the rundown, so maybe you’ve had your photos taken & maybe you haven’t. Either way all photographers are different. The approach I take on my sessions is to have a good time, get to know you. Most likely laughing, dancing, maybe corny jokes…?  With every session I give my clients prompts that don’t leave you wondering what you should be doing or questioning if you should be smiling or not. My goal is to capture raw emotions in you and/or you babes.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

I always tell my clients to dress in something that they are 100% comfortable in. What you wear is really up to you. I usually tell people to wear something they’ll look back on in 10-20 years and STILL love. Neutral earth tones are great especially with my editing style! I would say to limit the printed patterns, but accessorize!! Keep it simple, maybe throw a scarf on, jewelry, your fave jacket/sweater, your fave shoes! All depends on the look you want to create for your session! A long flowy dress or cardigan is always great! The more movement in your photos the better. This will bring life to your images.

YOU TOOK MY PHOTOS, NOW WHAT?


Okidokie, so now that we’re bff’s, lets get down to the nitty gritty...After a session or your Big Day, I will send you a couple sneak peeks within the next 1-2 days following your session/big day. After I begin to edit your photos & create your gallery!!

HOW LONG AFTER MY SESSION WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?

Lifestyle sessions will be delivered within 1-3 weeks. Please allow 6-8 weeks for weddings & elopements.

HOW WILL MY PHOTOS BE DELIVERED?

You will receive your high resolution digital images in an online gallery which you will be able to download, share, & print your images. If you love your photos, please be sure to tag me and leave kind words on my social media pages 🖤
