FAQ

You've got questions and I've got answers

Do you have a studio?

Where will my session be?

What's the time frame on receiving images?

Do you travel?

What happens after I contact you?

Can we get every single unedited file that
was taken at our session/wedding?


Can you reserve a date for me?



I have a question/questions that aren't answered here.




My style is very nature focused, so I do not have a brick-and-mortar studio space set up exclusively for my use. I prefer shooting outdoors in natural lighting.


Sessions will be something we plan together, and we can brainstorm locations depending on the look you're going for! I have a ton of suggestions to offer, so no worries there. 

For regular sessions, 2-3 weeks. For weddings and elopements, 4-6 weeks. 

Of course!! I love love love traveling and have been to almost every state in the US. Anything further than 50 miles (one way) driving distance from me is a charge, and for out of state you would need to cover the flight, hotel, and uber charges. I would be thrilled to travel as your photographer!

I'll get back to you within 24 business hours to discuss specifics, send a detailed pricing list, figure out what date works best/ check if I'm available, and answer any questions you may have. After this I like to set up a phone call or a skype/ facetime meeting to discuss things and to get to know each other better.

After our meeting, and once we settle on your package/session type and date, I'll send over your online contract and invoice for 50% of your total cost. The contract must be signed and invoice paid before your date is officially reserved. 

The raw, unedited images from your session/day are not available for viewing or purchase. Please trust me when I say you will receive the best pictures from your session. I've been sorting through client sessions for years, and basically anything blurry, out of focus, and blinking shots all get thrown out and since I don't edit to hit a certain amount of images, you'll see everything else that was up to par. I totally get why you're asking this question though, don't get me wrong. But I promise you're seeing everything worth while and I'm not holding back any amazing snaps of you guys!

I operate on a first come, first serve basis. Before your contract is signed and invoice is paid, no dates are held or guaranteed. This makes things fair for everyone!

No problem! Go ahead and shoot me an email, or fill out my form on this page here
