How many images will I receive?
For an hour portrait session, I will deliver 100+ images in your digital gallery via your personal Client Portal.
An average 8 hour wedding provides roughly 800 images, but usually you’ll receive more than that.
Do I have ownership over my images?
You will receive all of your images digitally in a low-resolution web size format. This is great for the purpose of sharing on social media & to keep your gallery small/easy to download.
If you would like prints, you can purchase those high-resolution images via your gallery - I will fulfill your order through my high-quality lab.
I also offer albums which are a beautiful keepsake for you to cherish for years to come [& helps not to forget about them on your computer].
What should I wear?
I highly suggest limiting the amount of prints, patterns, and bold colors involved as it could be distracting.
Neutrals or solid, plain colors are usually a safe go-to.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking three weeks or more in advance.
If we are shooting outdoors, I always suggest photographing your session the hour before sunset for ideal lighting. :)
But if you’re asking for an in-home session, we can pick any time during the day.
What if I’m shy/uncomfortable/unphotogenic?
This is the fun part! I will guide you throughout the session, giving you and your loved one(s) prompts to create movement and moments so you don’t feel so awkward just standing still, hearing a “click! click!” in the background. I proooomise we will have fun together.
These are YOUR moments so they will be unique to you - don’t expect your images to come out like everyone else’s. We are creating moments together for you to cherish that are accurate and meaningful to YOU. Pinterest can be a helpful resource if there is an image or two that you’re wanting to recreate, but I want your session to flow organically to represent you well.
How do we pick a location?
If there is a place that is special to you — let’s go there!
But if you’re struggling to think of a spot, I most certainly will send you a few places that you can choose from.
Newborn shoots are done in your home wherever you’re most comfortable. Living room, bedroom, nursery or laundry room ;) I’m kidding.
What about the weather?
If there is inclement weather as the day draws nearer, we can reschedule.
But don’t worry if it’s cloudy — that creates amazing lighting!!
Do you travel?
Yes! Absolutely!
