Frequently Asked Questions
What is the turnaround time for photos?
For standard portrait or branding session, you’ll receive your full edited gallery within 2 to 3 weeks. If you need a few sneak peek images for social media, I can usually send those within 48 hours of our shoot.
Do you provide raw, unedited files?
I do not provide RAW files. I believe that editing is a vital part of the artistic service I provide, and I want to ensure that the final images you receive are fully polished and representative of my brand’s quality.
What should I wear for my session?
I recommend wearing solid colors or subtle patterns that make you feel confident! Neutral tones and earth tones tend to photograph beautifully in natural light. I’m also happy to send over a Style Guide once we book to help coordinate outfits with locations.
What happens if it rains on the day of an outdoor shoot?
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we have two options: we can embrace the mood and shoot with umbrellas, or we can reschedule the next available date at no extra cost. I’ll check in with you 24 hours before the shoot to make the final call.
Can I print the photos myself, or do I have to buy prints through you?
All packages include a personal print release. This means you are free to print your images at any lab of your choice for personal use. However, I also offer professional-grade printing directly through your online gallery if you’re looking for archival
How do we reserve a date?
With my years of photography, I’ve settled on having my clients sign a contract and pay a 50% non-refundable retainer that are required to officially book a session.
What if I need to reschedule due to weather or illness?
For each session with my clients, I usually check in with them the 24-hours before the session to check the weather. If we do end up needing to reschedule, we would be doing that either in the midst of the date cancelled, or within one of the days the following week.

I can reassure you, it is my job to photograph you, but to also guide you through posing and prompts to result in a natural, relaxed looking, session
Can we request specific shots or poses?
I am all for somePinterest inspiration or a must-have list of poses you may have in mind. I can assure you with my creative style and ideas, we will get you the vision you have in mind!
What happens if we go over the scheduled time?
Depending on the day and time of the session it may vary, but I am usually able to stay 10 to 20 minutes after to finish up that session. If we go longer than 20 minutes, I will need to charge my hourly fee!
What kind of retouching is included?
As I want you to love your photos, color correction and minor blemish removal are included, however, extensive editing such as Photoshopping out people may include a fee.
