portrait & engagement sessions
Where do your sessions take place?
- All sessions either take place on-location or at my studio.
- For engagement sessions, I always suggest a place that has meaning to the both of you.
My studio below!
If we have an outdoor session and weather is not great, can we reschedule?
- Yes! We will just reschedule to another day that works best for the both of us! Depending on your session, your session can also be moved into my studio.
When is the best time to get maternity and newborn pictures done?
- Maternity between 32-36 weeks.
- Newborn, first two weeks of life.
What should we wear?
- Express yourself! I always recommend wearing neutral colors and patterns are great as well. You can color coordinate a bit with anyone else in the photos, but for the best photos I would suggest staying away from matching outfits. On the other hand, I do not recommend wearing shirts with graphics and lettering all over because it is a distraction.
What is the best time of day for our session?
- Best time of day is early morning or late afternoon/evening time (magic hour). This will provide the best natural light for your photos.
How does payment work?
- I ask for a 50% non-refundable retainer to reserve your session date. You may pay through the involve with a debit/credit card, mail a check or pay in cash.
Do you charge a travel fee?
- Yes. Once I go over 20 miles one way to your portrait location, I charge a travel fee of 62.5 cents per mile.
weddings
Do you customize packages?
- I am currently only photographing smaller weddings (elopement, micrco & small/intimate under 100 ppl and maximum of 6 hours), which all 3 of my wedding packages are pre-designed.
If you don’t see something that fits your needs, I would be happy to customize for you!
Do you charge a travel fee?
- Yes. Once I go over 50 miles one way to your wedding location, I charge a travel fee of 62.5 cents per mile.
Do you do destination weddings?
- Yes! I just ask for travel (whether it be car/flight) to be paid for along with hotel and rental car fee if needed.
What if we have already had our engagement photos taken or don't want them done?
- Engagement sessions are complimentary in the two packages that I offer. I highly suggest doing the engagement session, even if it’s for 30 minutes! An engagement session is one of the greatest investments you will make when planning your wedding. They are the perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other, and for you to become comfortable in front of my camera before your big day. You can pick a location that has meaning to the two of you.
How does payment work?
- I ask for a 30% non-refundable retainer to reserve your wedding date. The final balance is due 10 days before your wedding day. You may pay through the involve with a debit/credit card, mail a check or pay in cash.
