FAQs
These are just a few of the things that I get asked pretty often! Feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
“What kind of retouching/editing do you do?”
I do light retouching on almost all of my photoshoots. This includes getting rid of obvious blemishes, stray hairs, and stains/light wrinkling on clothing as well as light touch-ups on your makeup if you’re wearing any!
I also apply my presets which give your photos the bright + vibrant look like the ones on my site!
“How far in advance should I book my photoshoot?”
It all depends on the time of year you’re trying to book! Late summer and early fall are extremely popular times for photos. I recommending booking at least 10 to 12 weeks in advance.
If you want to book a shoot in the winter, spring, or early summer I recommending booking 3 to 4 weeks in advance.
“Do you pick the photoshoot locations or do I?”
I leave the final location choice up to you! If you have an idea as to what you want, but you aren’t exactly sure where to go, I can absolutely recommend some location options to you! I know a ton of fields, forests, rooftops, waterfalls, and more to choose from!
“Do I have to know how to pose myself?”
Absolutely not! I have a ton of experience posing individual people and couples.
If you have pose ideas saved that you want to try out, absolutely let me know + bring those ideas to the shoot! I love to make the photoshoot process as collaborative as possible.
“Do you travel for photoshoots?”
Absolutely!! My work has lead me to travel to so many beautiful places. Regardless if it’s a two hour road trip or two travel day-event, I’m your girl!
Travel fees are based on distance + travel expenses.
“How long are your sessions typically?”
Most of my sessions range from 30 minutes to about 3 hours depending on how many locations/outfits you are doing!
My sessions are not timed; the session ends whenever you feel like you have enough options to go through. One comment I hear a lot is about how quick my photo sessions are. Most people are surprised how many good photos I can capture within just a few minutes.
“Are you LGBTQIA+ Friendly?”
It breaks my heart that I even have to put this is even an FAQ. But the short answer is YES. I firmly believe that love is love, gender is a social construct, and that everyone should do whatever it is that makes them feel true to themselves. Life is entirely too short to pretend to be something you’re not.
If you’re reading this and you don’t agree, then I’m definitely not the photographer for you.
“Is there anything that you don’t shoot?”
Of course! I’m definitely not a “one size fits all” photographer by any means. I avoid certain types of photography to give my current clients the best possible experience.
I do not photograph: Newborns, events (birthday parties, bridal/baby showers, corporate events, etc.), extended family sessions, couple photos in the event that the couple is under 18 years of age, as well as boudoir photos if the subject is under 18 years of age.
“What is the booking process like?”
The first step in booking a shoot with me is reaching out and telling me the kind of shoot you want to set up. Once I know what you’re looking for, I send over the appropriate package list. From there you select a package that works best for you and we decide on a date that works well for the both of us.
Once we have our date and package selected I send over my contract. When the contract is signed, its time to pay (check, debit/credit card, or Venmo) your 25% deposit to hold your date in my calendar!
