Session Details
How long does a typical session last?
A typical session usually lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the type of shoot and the number of locations or outfit changes involved. We’ll work at a comfortable pace to make sure we capture everything you need.
What should I wear to my session?
Wear something that reflects your personality and makes you feel your best while still being comfortable. Don’t be afraid to get creative, whether it’s bold colors, unique accessories, or layers that add texture. Coordinating outfits in a way that fits your style is key, especially for group photos. If you’re looking for guidance or inspiration, I’m happy to help you choose what will work best for your session. Just remember, life is not that serious, be you <3
Do you provide location suggestions or ideas?
I can provide location ideas based on your vision and preferences, but I’m always open to your suggestions as well! Whether you have a specific spot in mind or need inspiration, we’ll work together to find the perfect setting for your session.
We don’t feel very confident in front of the camera, is that ok?
That’s completely okay! Many people feel a bit uneasy at first. My goal is to create a relaxed and fun environment where you can be yourself. I’ll guide you with natural poses and prompts to help you feel more at ease. By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident, and we’ll capture genuine, authentic moments.
Can I bring props or include my pets in the session?
Absolutely! This is your story, and I’m just here to capture it. Whether it’s meaningful props or your beloved pets, feel free to bring whatever helps tell your story. I love including pets in sessions and am happy to do pet portraits as well!
How many people can be included in a session?
I’m flexible with group sizes, whether it’s just you or a large family gathering. For larger groups, just let me know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly and ensure everyone is captured beautifully. If you have any specific group sizes in mind, feel free to reach out and we can discuss the details.
Image Delivery and Products
How long does it take to receive the final images?
You’ll receive your edited photos in about two weeks. I take time to carefully go through and retouch each image so that you get the best results. I’ll keep you updated along the way, and as soon as your gallery is ready, I’ll let you know!
How will I receive my photos?
You will receive a gallery link via email or sms, simply enter any required password to access your photos. You can browse through the images, select favorites, and add items like prints or digital downloads to your cart. For digital files, you can choose individual images or purchase the entire gallery. After placing an order, you’ll receive your downloads via email or directly in the gallery. Physical products are shipped to your address.
Do you offer digital downloads, prints, or albums?
I offer a variety of print products, including standard, fine art, and mounted prints. For wall art, options include canvas, metal, acrylic, and framed prints, as well as standout and wood prints. I also provide custom cards for holidays, weddings, graduations, and more. For albums and books, I offer premium photo albums, layflat books, and hardcover books to beautifully preserve your memories.
What is the difference between high-resolution and web-resolution images?
High-resolution images are detailed and have a high pixel count, making them preferred for printing in large formats and for high-quality displays. They capture more detail and are ideal for creating physical prints or using in professional materials.
Web-resolution images have a lower pixel count and are preferred for online use. They load faster on websites and are suitable for social media or digital sharing, but they don’t have the same level of detail as high-res images and aren’t ideal for large prints.
Policies and Terms
What happens if there is bad weather on the day of an outdoor session?
If bad weather affects our outdoor session, we can reschedule to a different date that works for both of us. If we’re unable to reschedule within the next two weeks, you’ll receive a 100% refund and still have the opportunity to schedule a new session. I’ll keep an eye on the forecast and communicate with you in advance to find the best solution. Your comfort and the quality of your photos are my top priorities.
Do you offer refunds if I’m not happy with my photos?
I strive to ensure you’re thrilled with your photos, and I work hard to capture the best moments. While I don’t offer refunds for dissatisfaction with the final images, if I am unable to walk away from our shoot satisfied with the results, I will discuss options with you. If you have specific concerns or need additional edits, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to address them. Your satisfaction is important to me, and I’m here to ensure you’re happy with the final outcome.
Do you have a contract for your photography services?
Yes, I use a contract for all photography services to ensure that both you and I are clear on the terms and expectations. The contract covers important details such as the scope of services, payment terms, cancellation and rescheduling policies, and usage rights for the images. This helps to protect both parties and ensure a smooth and professional experience. If you have any questions or need specific clauses added, feel free to let me know.
Do you provide image retouching or editing? What’s included?
Yes, I include retouching and editing in my services. This typically covers color correction, exposure adjustments, and minor touch-ups like removing blemishes. If you have specific editing needs, just let me know and we can discuss additional options.
Special Services
Do you offer discounts or promotions?
Right now, I don’t offer discounts or promotions. I really hope to introduce some in the future, like discounts for honor roll students on their portraits. I appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to offer more ways to save down the line.
Can you accommodate large events like weddings or corporate functions?
I don’t currently cover weddings, but I’m happy to accommodate large events such as corporate functions. If you have a big event coming up, feel free to reach out, and we can discuss how to capture it perfectly.
