Tell me your secrets
Ask me your questions
01
We feel awkward in front of the camera. Can you make us look good?
Yes. I consider this my super power. Besides my 2nd, 3rd, & 4th stomach for sweets. Consider me a disarming goofball that makes me super approachable, & therefore easy to be at ease around. The more comfortable you are – the better you will look in your images. Plus 12+ years in the biz has taught me a lot in posing & angles. I have you covered.
02
We like you a lot, what are our next steps?
First off, YAY! Secondly, let’s chat over coffee on Facetime, Zoom or whatever floats your tech boat. In that meeting, I’m happy to answer any of your questions or chat further through my process. If you’re ready to book, I send you a digital contract & payment method options for the retainer. Once both are completed, we’re set!
Set up a time to chat:
03
We don’t know how much coverage we need for our elopement or wedding, can you help us?
Absolutely! I understand weddings are not one-size-fits all. Nor do all have a planner. On our call, I can walk you through options & how long pieces of the day generally take based on the logistics. Peak season weekend dates will have a minimum number of hours required, unless booked within 60 days out.
04
Do we get rights to our images? How many photos do we receive?
You get rights to do anything you want with your images. Except resell them. Which honestly would be weird for most people, anyway. Right?
With no two weddings being the same, the amount is difficult to pinpoint. The number can vary greatly, with travel time between locations on the wedding day, family & bridal party size, amount of details, etc. That said, I tend to deliver on the upper end of everyone I know. And I know a LOT of photographers.
05
What does an online gallery look like?
If you’re like many people I meet & you haven’t had professional photography of yourself since you were a senior in high school, you may wonder what the online delivery of files looks like in this-here digital age. Worry not – my sleek gorgeous online galleries do not disappoint. Feast your Eyes:
06
What do we wear to our engagement or photo session?
Once you’re booked, I can send guides that help you decide what to colors to choose, type of clothing to wear and how to coordinate your outfits.
07
Can we customize package? Do you offer a payment plans? Do you want a puppy?
YES.
08
Do you photoshop wrinkles, heavy acne, dark circles, to look thinner, etc?
NOPE – and here’s why. I do my best to keep you in the moment & the more in the moment you are the better you will look. My expertise helps to find your most flattering angles too.
That said, I haven’t lived in your body & couldn’t fathom what aspects of yourself you tend to notice. I couldn’t know what goes “too far” as a reasonable amount of photoshop (hello creepy plastic skin) and it takes 5x a long to do (read: you don’t get your images for a much, much longer time). If there is something you really want changed on a specific photo after your gallery is delivered, I can send you my high level Photoshop retouching rates or send you the businesses who offer services beyond my expertise, or in volume.
09
How long before we receive the gallery?
My typical turnarounds are:
Weddings: 6-8 Weeks, however I am as excited as you for you to get your images so if I finish them sooner (my goal) you will be the first to know!
Other Session Types: Typically 2-2.5 weeks, depending.
10
Do you accept weddings based on a certain skin tone, sexual identity or (insert something else that has nothing to do with me taking gorgeous photos of you)?
NOPE. I simply require awesome, genuine human beings who value kindness.
