Frequently Asked Questions
I'm interested in booking you for my wedding. What are the next steps?
That's wonderful, and congratulations! The next step would be to contact me to get your proposal. From there, you can select your package options, review and sign your contract, and pay your retainer all online!
What do we need to do to reserve our date?
In order to book, you need to read and sign my contract, and put down a nonrefundable retainer & booking fee. The rest of your payment is due the month before your wedding date.
Do you provide partial wedding day coverage?
Yes! If you are having a small, intimate ceremony or an elopement, we can create a custom package tailor-made for your day. Contact me to get more information.
How many images do you deliver for a wedding?
Normally you can expect between 40-50 pictures for each hour of coverage. This varies depending on the wedding and events.
Can you tell me about your pricing?
All of my starting prices are listed here, along with more information about packages. If you would like more detailed information, give me a call and I'll answer all of your questions!
What should I wear to my portrait session?
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable! So don't change up your style or wear something different than usual. Portraits are about capturing who you are. Here are some easy tips to make sure you look amazing:
Avoid stark or neon colors like solid black/pure white/neon. These can leave you looking pale or add a color cast to your skin. You can still wear black (if you're like me, that's the color of half your wardrobe!), but add a different color layer or accent piece to break it up a little.
Avoid busy patterns or fine lines. You want the focus to be on you and your personality, not your clothes. Anything too distracting can take away from that.
If you're having a family session done, try to coordinate, but not match identically. You should pick no more than three main colors, and one accent (i.e. grey, ivory, navy, with a soft yellow accent) and try to stay within those colors. Try to avoid too many patterns that can take away from the main subject - you and your family!
A good way to see if your outfits work together is to lay them out on the bed so that you can see them all at once. Feel free to send me a picture of them if you want additional input!
Neutrals (brown, grey, ivory, navy, beige, olive) = Awesome + Timeless
When will my pictures be ready?
Weddings:
After your wedding, I'll go home and upload them to my computer, and two backup drives. Then I'll edit a few as sneak peeks that will be posted on facebook and instagram throughout the week following your wedding.
Within 6-8 weeks from your wedding day, I'll email you your gallery with all of the edited images.
If you ordered an album or prints, they will arrive within three weeks from when you submit your payment and your final approval on the design. You'll pick any orders up at my studio. Custom framing may take longer.
