What if I have to cancel my mini or regular session?
Things happen, I totally understand! I usually ask for at least a 24-48 hour notice. Acceptable cancellations are due to sickness, family emergency, death, Acts of God. Retainers/all monies paid are nonrefundable, however I will work with you to reschedule for another date. If you cancel a second time, you will forfeit the retainer and any balance paid.
Do you accept payment plans for Weddings?
Yes. I was a Bride too, so I know how overwhelming & expensive everything can be. Just talk to me about it! Weddings require a signed contract & 50% of the package to reserve your date. The remaining 50% is due two weeks before your wedding date.
Who is your second shooter?
My second shooters will vary. I will choose someone else based on the date/area. Regardless, they will be professional, kind, and have wedding photography experience.
If our event/session runs over, can you stay?
Yes, I can. However there is an overtime rate that you will sign off on before I do.
Do you have insurance?
YES, for sure!
Do you have a contract?
YES. Absolutely.
Do you Travel?
YES. I LOVE to Travel and I do my very best to keep the travel fees low. PLEASE don't hesitate to ask!
What gear do you use?
I am most definitely a Canon girl. I have two Canon 5D Mark IV bodies and multiple lenses.
What's your favorite type of shoot?
Man! That is tough because I love every session. However, I love adventures and love-stories, so anything to do with climbing a mountain or a wedding, I'm super happy.
What's your style?
ROMANTIC | PURE | BRIGHT
I have several honestly. I love bright & airy shots, but I also love dark-romantic matte & saturated colors. It depends on the mood of the session for me. I can't decide on just one editing style, so I let each session speak for themselves.
What do you shoot?
Weddings, Engagement, Boudoir, Families, Portraits, Elopements, Maternity, Prom/Senior, Styled, Models, Couples, and Rainbow Bridge sessions.
What days do you shoot?
It varies based on my schedule, but I will work with you the best that I can. I can shoot on most weekday evenings. Saturdays are mainly for weddings. I prefer to shoot in the late afternoon hours (in between 3-8:30) on the weekdays of Tuesday-Thursday, as these are the best times for "natural light" depending on the seasons.
How do we set up a session?
It's EASY! Just contact me and we will work out your session details.
It's the day of the shoot, how does this work?
Sweet it's session day! We will meet at a designated location and I like to talk with you first before we start shooting. I usually keep talking the whole time while shooting, so no worries, it's very laid-back and FUN! After your session I will have your Online Gallery ready for you within 3 weeks (weddings usually take 8 weeks). I have several printing services that I recommend. Please note that I do not print your photos, however I do give you a print release.

What should I wear?
It really depends on the location of your session, however I can send you a Pinterest board of ideas!
