Questions you may have
Do you charge a payment before I book a session?
Yes, to book your session I require a $50 non-refundable retainer.
If you want to know more about weddings, go take a look at my investment page tab and there should be more information on that, or send in a form to see if there will be any changes depending on what you want in your wedding and we will discuss there
How long does a session take?
Every session is different! I want to ensure that my photos are coming out exactly the way you wan them to. I feel that communicating is important and I don’t wan to rush that. Depending on the session you are booking (factoring outfit changes/location), it is all up to you. I dont mind spending anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours during a session.
Do you have travel fees?
Yes, for places that aren’t around Astoria and will take about an hour for me to get to, I do require a travel fee to cover gas expenses. Don’t let that stop you though, I’m down to go anywhere and love travel!
There will be exceptions if I am already traveling in that area (such as Texas and Colorado) and you will be seeing about that on my social media pages.
Do we recieve all of the raw, unedited photos?
These photos are not available for viewing or for purchase. The digital images you will receive are hand-selected and intricately edited by me.
What happens if I cance/reschedule?
If something happens and you are unable to shoot with me, your deposit will not be refunded. If you reschedule, your deposit will go towards the cost of the rescheduled shoot. Communication is important so lets keep each other updated!
How long does is take you to edit photos?
I typically tell my clients 2 weeks, but I usually try to get them done as soon as I can. If I need to do more photoshop like changing backgrounds, or fixing lighting from completely black to more visible, I would say a month at most. I’m just as excited as you are about your photos so you bet I am rushing home to edit! If you are working with a time constraint please let me know ahead of time and we can work something out.
Do you provide printed images?
Currently I do not. You will receive a digital album with all of your edited photos, and you have rights to print them in any size you would like.
Can I bring a friend to the shoot?
Of course, I always want my clients to feel comfortable and do whatever they need to meet that standard. They can snap behind the scenes with a phone camera, but I kindly ask that they do not bring any sort of professional camera to our session.
I’m not a model and have no idea how to pose. What do I do?
I know how uncomfortable and nerve-racking it is to stand in front of the camera, but dont worry! I will give you all the posing tips you need. I will direct you in any way that makes you feel comfortable, and lets you shine through the camera. I want you to feel as confident as you can, so I’m here to be by your side through that all
What Should I wear?
Once you book with me, You’ll need to send a few reference pictures for the style your looking for with the pictures, then I will send you 30 pictures as a style guide that will guide you to looking like the best version of yourself!
