FAQS
Yay! I'm so excited that you are interested in working with me - I would love to capture your vision. Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions about me, my process or my packages!
HOW DO I BOOK YOU?
Head on over to my contact form and fill out my form, I will get back to you within 48 hours!
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I GET?
On my Investment page, every package includes a minimum number of edited color digital images you will receive in your online gallery. I may also choose a handful of images to edit in black and white, but will not provide every image in black and white. For example, if it says 35+ images, this means you will receive at least 35 color images. I should note, I am a generous gallery giver, if you look good - you get it! :)
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
My turnaround time is typically ~1 week, I do my best to give you your gallery as fast as possible. If for any reason I can't meet that goal, I will communicate with you so you know what to expect.
DO YOU HELP WITH POSING?
ABSOLUTELY!! And, I'll be your hype girl while doing it, too :)
DO YOU HELP WITH LOCATION SELECTION?
Yes! I provide all my clients with a location guide right after the booking is official. I am always will to try a new spot, but my location guide contains some of my tried and true favorite spots. Please note that any location that is 25 miles from my home in Frisco, TX will incur a $35 travel fee, which will also be communicated to you before making your final location selection.
WHAT TIME DO YOUR SESSIONS START?
All exact start times will be specific to each client's session, however, my general rules are as follows. For outdoor sessions, I choose to shoot within 2 hours of sunset, which varies throughout the year - this is required to achieve my photographic editing style. For indoor sessions, I choose to shoot mid to late morning to get the brightest light indoors.
DOES SHOOTING AT A STUDIO COST EXTRA?
Yes, all studio rental fees will be added to your session total. Studio rental fees vary from $75 - $125/ hour.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS BAD WEATHER ON OUR SESSION DAY?
I watch the weather like a hawk the week of your session! If it is raining, storming, hailing or any type of weather that prevents me from having enough light we will reschedule at a mutually agreeable time. No, you don't have to pay anything for a reschedule. I typically make the reschedule call the morning of the shoot - if you have hair and makeup booked and need to know sooner, just message me and we'll work something out, no worries! I do not reschedule sessions that happen to fall on a cloudy day - this is some of my favorite light ever!
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU OR I GET SICK OR INJURED AND CAN'T SHOOT AS PLANNED?
No worries, we will reschedule at a mutually available time! If you are feeling ill, all I ask is that you please let me know as far in advance as possible.
DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIGITAL IMAGES?
No, your session fee is all inclusive, meaning it includes the session itself as well as the digital gallery - it does not cost you anything extra to download your photos. I do not personally offer printing services, but I provide my recommendations on where you can print your images :)
WHAT KIND OF RETOUCHING DO YOU OFFER?
I edit photos in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. While I will personally retouch small blemishes and background objects in your delivered gallery, I do not *heavily* retouch photos in photoshop, including detailed skin smoothing, body alteration or clothing color alteration.
DO YOU WEAR A MASK WHEN PHOTOGRAPHING ME?
Not typically, but I will if you ask me to no questions.
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH EVENTS?
No, I do not photograph events (baby showers, birthday parties, etc.) or weddings.
CAN I HAVE THE RAW FILES?
I do not provide the RAW images under any circumstances.
