The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Absolutely! I am willing to travel anywhere. The travel fee would just be an additional charge on your package.
How long have you been doing this?
I have been doing photography since 2007. I have been shooting weddings since 2008.
How many photos do we get?
This all depends on which package you pick. Contact me for package details and pricing.
How do we get our photos?
I offer an automatic download of your chosen photos through your online gallery. For an additional charge, I can send you a CD with your photos on it as well.
Do you retouch photos?
Yes, I do retouch all the photos you are given. I do my best to keep you in your most natural state. Not to worry! I do get rid of those pesky fly away hairs and pimples that show up the night before your session.
Whats your turn around time?
Turn around time for a session is 2-3 weeks. Turn around time for a wedding gallery is 6-8 weeks. However with your wedding package you do have access to your online gallery to see how the progress of your photos are coming along and download your photos at anytime during the editing process.
How do we book you?
Please fill out the contact form with your information and as many details about what you are looking for. Regardless what kind of session you are booking or if you are looking to book a wedding. Location, your view, and all the little details are appreciated. From there, I will send you over my package pricing and we can coordinate a date. I do ask for a retainer to hold your date. Once the retainer is collected, we are set!
Can you help us with planning?
Yes, I am more than happy to help with any planning details. If you just need to reach out to me with questions, I am always here to answer them for you.
How far out do you book?
I book out up to two years in advance.
What should we do for an engagement session?
If you plan to do an engagement session, I have multiple ideas I can offer. I am always open minded to hearing ideas you have as well. There is nothing I am not willing to do. Location wise, I have a list of locations I can offer and we can always brainstorm together.
What should we wear?
Depending on your session, I always say dress to impress.But remember to always be yourself at the end of the day as well. You can also bring a couple outfits with you and we can do an outfit change if needed. Solid colors are always better than patterns. Or if you are going to mix and match make sure to wear colors that compliment one another. I have pallets I can send you to give you some ideas as well!
What kind of Gear do you use?
My weapon of choice is Nikon. I shoot with a Z 7II and a Z 5. Both are mirrorless. My lenses include 85 mm, 50 mm, 70 to 200 mm, and more. I also have speedlights and flashes, and everything inbetween for newborn props.

For weddings, I do offer one package that includes a second shooter option.
Do you offer prints and photo albums?
Yes, I do offer prints and photo albums for an additional fee.
Do you provide a contract for weddings?
Yes, I do ask for us both to sign a contract and a deposit to hold your wedding date.
Will you help pose us?
Of course. I am here to help in anyway I can. I will do my best to make this experience fun for you, and you won't even be thinking that you are posing to begin with!
