Frequently Asked Questions

Having our photos on our phones, posted on social media and floating around in some elusive cloud is amazing! And yet… I want so much more for myself and for you. I want to give you photos that hang as art in your homes. I want to give your kids photo albums that they can touch with their little fingers and later show to their kids years from now. I want to bring back the nostalgia of passing around printed photos with people we love, creating even more memories in the process. In my heart, I believe that this is where the true magic of photography lies.

When we take the extra step to display images of ourselves and the people we love in our home, it lifts us in the most wonderful ways. It validates that we matter, celebrates how lucky we are to have the people we love in our lives and reminds us daily to not take any of it for granted.
I believe that most people that take the time to schedule a professional photo session, do so with the best intentions of printing their photos. However, life gets busy, time passes and then our images often don’t get ordered. Instead, they stay sitting idle in our online galleries or live permanently on a jump drive somewhere. By having a minimum print order in place, I’m able to guarantee this won’t happen and ensure that you’ll walk away actually holding prints and photo art that you can enjoy for a lifetime.

YES!! 3-4 weeks after your session you will receive an online gallery with your hand edited artful images. You will be able to share them on social media and download them immediately.
*** However, these digital files are NOT intended for print. This means that they will be sized for online viewing only. ***

No. The reason for this is that not all photography labs are the same. The same image printed at two different labs can come out looking very differently. When you order through me, you’ll have access to one of the best professional photography labs in the country - guaranteeing both you and me a beautiful high end product to love in the end.

On average my galleries include AT LEAST 40 Meticulously hand edited photos.
I believe in quality over quantity. I poor my heart into creating beautiful artful images for my clients. The truth is, this kind of editing takes TIME. If you choose me as your photographer you can anticipate that every image you will receive will be hand edited by me with love and art. By working this way, I promise the quality of your images will far outweigh the value of having 200 batch edited images that you won’t be excited to print.
-
No. The experience you have leading up to, during and after your session with me, is just as important as the photos themselves. I aim to pamper my clients through a personalized experience focused on fulfilling their vision for their photos. I would need to cut too many corners in order to even attempt offering a mini session - so I don’t.

Family sessions are for immediate family only.

Your non refundable session fee is due at the time of booking and will hold your spot on my calendar. Your remaining minimum purchase fee is due no later than 24 hours prior to your session. You will see a credit for this amount when you receive your online gallery which you will then use to purchase your images.

Let me begin by saying that I LOVE ANIMALS! You are welcome to bring your family pet to your shoot as long as they are extremely well behaved. Given that our time together will be limited, I would only recommend including your pet if you are very confident that it will not deter from your session time. Please let me know before hand if a you are planning on bringing a pet as not all locations will allow animals. Please also plan on bringing a friend along to watch after your pet when they are not being included in photographs.

If there is a good chance of rain in the forecast we will reschedule to the soonest possible date. I will always keep back up days open in my schedule just in case this happens.
If it’s just a cloudy day, no big deal! Cloudy days actually make for some really beautiful photos. We will continue with your session as planned and you can rest assured knowing that your skin will look gorgeous with the overcast!
