Frequently Asked Questions
What is your delivery turnaround time?
For 1 hour sessions, expect previews within 1 week, and gallery delivery within 4-6 weeks from the shoot date. Sessions over 3 hours include preview images within 1 week and full gallery delivery within 6-8 weeks . Delivery times will be stated in the contract.
WHO CHOOSES THE PHOTOSHOOT LOCATION?
For couples sessions, it's beneficial if the client chooses a location that is personal to them. First date spot, vacation home, favorite rooftop in the city, etc. I love to help curate more specific scenes with inspiration from movies, music or any pinterest board you'd like to send along. For portraits, I'll help find scenic outdoor locations or simple studio spaces that will encompass the look that you're going for (if you haven't decided on one already)
What's your pricing breakdown?
Every package is priced to cover the full experience which includes logistical planning, creative preparation, session time, hours of professional editing, use of high-end camera equipment, gallery delivery, and the care that goes into creating photos you'll forever look back on. Package pricing varies based on the type of shoot, amount of time, travel costs, and number of photos delivered among other aspects that will be listed in our contract.
How long have you been a photographer?
I first started using a cheap digital camera as a high schooler in 2011 making videos with my friends and family. I shot my first professional wedding in 2019 where it became a passion, and in 2024 I shifted my focus to cinematic couples and portraits.
What should we wear?
Every session includes a welcome guide upon booking, with color schemes and and clothing suggestions that will be cohesive with our chosen theme for the shoot. Generally wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident!
Full of laughter and learning! I like to make couples sessions an adventure, whether we’re strolling down a busy street or taking a ride on the ferry. Portraits sessions are designed to bring out your inner confidence, whatever that looks like for you!
WHAT IF WE'RE AWKARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA?
In addition to my stylistic color grading, I often do natural retouching that goes unnoticed in the final photos. Think subtle teeth brightening, softening blemishes, removing distractions in the background.
DO YOU RETOUCH PHOTOS?
Consider me your personal hype woman! I'll guide you through a mix of prompted and posed movements to capture natural moments. It will be a blast, I promise.
How do you describe your sessions?
How does the booking process work?
Send an inquiry through my website, from there we'll schedule an intro call so I can get to know about you and your vision for our session. Once we choose a date, I will send a contract and deposit info in order for you to secure your slot.
Where are you based?
I'm based in Colorado and frequently spend time back home in Northern Virginia. I will travel for sessions! Be sure to mention it in your inquiry and we can talk logistics on our introductory call.
do YOU RESCHEDULE FOR BAD WEATHER?
We can game-plan for an alternative location if weather is bad a week or so leading up to the session date. Or, we can have fun in the rain! Whatever you're comfortable with.
How will i receive my photos?
Photos will be sent to you via an online gallery through my website where you’ll be able to download the high res images. I will store the gallery for 1 year before archiving, it as stated in the contract (make sure to download and keep them safe!)
