The FAQ
What if I lose my images?
What if I lose my images? There is a $50 replacement charge for additional downloads after the event has been archived (after 6 months). I strongly suggest you make at least one copy of the download when you receive it from us.
Ready to book now what?
Contact me to book your session and go over details. Once you've selected a date, I require a 35% non-refundable security deposit, which locks in your date! Deposits are transferable if a date change is necessary. Forty-eight hours (48) notice of postponements or cancellations is appreciated. If it is not possible for a session to take place on a scheduled day due to weather, Photographer and Client will reschedule on an agreed date at the earliest date possible, with no additional charge. The remaining balance of the portrait fee is due on the day of Client’s portrait session and is payable before shooting begins
How far in advanced should I book?
This, of course, depends on the session type. For example, I think some of the best maternity photos are taken between the seven and eight-month mark. Newborn photos should be taken within the 10 days old- two weeks of your child's birth and engagement session photos should be taken with enough time to get your photos back so that save-the-dates and/or invitations are sent out in a timely matter. Other than that, when you book is up to you!
What does this price include?
I provide ALL-INCLUSVE Packages. The price covers pre consultations via email & phone, shooting time, travel and set up time, post editing, fees and all digital downloads from a online site.
Do you provide Mini Sessions?
Yes, please be sure to subscribe to my email or follow me on facebook or instagram for Mini Session announcements
What kind of payment do you take?
For Payment in addition to cash payments, I accept Venmo and personal checks. Weddings and My Baby’s 1st years may qualify for a payment plan. You can pay for baby 1 st years all in full or have payment plans are set up via Venmo or check payments and due at every session.
Do you have props?
I do offer limited props. I recommend bringing props to your session that you would like to use to make your photos memorable and add a personable touch. We can discuss the look you would like to achieve and discuss if I have the props available at the time of consultation.
Do you have certain locations that you use?
I do have go to locations that I have used. We can discuss the look you are trying to achieve at the time of consultation and choose one of my locations or use a new one that you have in mind. I’m always up for new locations and traveling. Traveling fees may apply.
What should we wear?
I enjoy helping my clients come up with some ideas on what to wear and what not to wear. Ultimately, what you wear depends on what you're most comfortable in. If you are unsure about what's most flattering or what will go best with your location setting, don't hesitate to reach out and connect. I have lots of ideas of WHAT TO WEAR
I heard your shutter go well over 1000 times, why didn't I get them all?
I know you are over the moon to see everything that came out of my camera that day. However beautiful as they are, there are always those shots that are less than perfect due to blinking, off colors, posing mishaps or other situations out of my control. It is my process to show only what the highest quality is and I take more photos to ensure that I can provide you with a large amount of these images. It is not my process to show any images other than those that were chosen as finest quality. This is my strict policy. Trust me when I tell you that those chosen were done with care and consideration.
Do you have an Indoor Studio?
I do not have an indoor studio. We can discuss this further during our newborn consultation. I offer a concierge newborn session which includes traveling to your home. I do travel 25-30 miles from my house for free any further their is then a travel fee of $50.00 (this helps with convenience of the family and the traveling of a newborn) .
Can I have the unedited and edited files?
No and for two main reasons. 1) I shoot in RAW format. More than likely you will not have the program to open the images on your home computer. 2) Editing is part of my style and you will ONLY receive edited images.
When will I receive my images?
The waiting game is never any fun. For that reason, I work quickly to get your proofs to you. I typically have proofs to you within a week in a half to two weeks. For newborn pictures I can take up to a two and half weeks due to the post editing they require. Please keep in mind that unexpected circumstances can change turnaround times. If this should be the case I would contact you as soon as possible to let you know.
Do I have control of the images you share?
Of course. No matter what session I'm photographing, I will always make sure that you have a say in whether or not I post to social media or my blog.
