Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What is your photography style? Do you offer raw images?
My style is film-inspired with true-to-life colors and natural lighting. I always strive to create timeless images for you and your family! Each edit is done with care to bring your photos to life and tell your story. I do not offer raw images as they are not the final product, nor are they an accurate reflection of my work.
What do you do to protect my photos?
I shoot dual slot, meaning my camera has two SD card slots. So if something goes wrong with one card, your images are protected in another location. I also backup images to my computer, editing software, and an additional SD card for added protection.
When will I get my photos back?
This totally depends on how many sessions I have to edit, but typically I try to provide some sneak peeks in the first 1-2 days after the session. Full galleries can be expected within two weeks of the session, but please allow up to one month for wedding galleries.
I want to have family photos done, but my kids won’t sit still! What do I do?
Book the session anyway! You will want to look back on this time when your kids were this small. Most of the time, my clients’ favorite images are the ones that were taken unposed and unprompted. I take pride in being able to connect with kids and families, tune into their interests, and create a fun and relaxed session that is sure to result in some great images. Bribery with snacks is also acceptable and highly effective:)
I don’t know how to pose and/or I feel awkward in front of the camera. Help!!
No worries! I have lots of prompts and poses that will bring out your true self and will not feel forced. And you can absolutely say no to any pose you don’t want to do. Feel free to bring some inspiration photos to your session as well!
Can I bring my pet?
Absolutely! Although it helps to bring an extra person along to hang out with the pet while they are not in the photos. :)
What do I wear?
Coordinating neutrals and soft tones without much pattern tend to photograph best and result in the most timeless photos. However, this is YOUR session and it will reflect your unique style! I am happy to assist with choosing outfits if needed:)
