The FAQ
Do you have an indoor studio?
No, I am currently an outside only photographer. If you have an indoor location, I am willing to shoot your images where you feel most comfortable.
How many photos do we get?
Photos depend on package purchased.
Whats your turn around time?
It will generally take 2 weeks to get your photos back from most sessions. You will receive a 2-3 image sneak peek within 2 days after your photo session.
Should I bring any props to the session?
You can, but you don't have to! You can bring things such as a blanket, baby shoes, a favorite toy, a prop representing a hobby, birthday cake, or any special item or decor you want to make your photos truly unique.
Do you deliver every image you shoot?
Nope! I eliminate duplicate images, test shots, out of focus or blurred shots, and images with bad expressions. For example, because I shoot with low apertures, sometimes I may take a few extra shots to make sure I have the perfect focus. After the session I zoom into each image to select the ones with the sharpest focus. In another example, candid laughs and emotional expressions are some of the best images from the day, but they can also yield some unflattering facial expressions. I might snap a few extra shots of any of these moments to make sure I have a great shot. With my expertise of processing thousands of images each year, I may eliminate ones that I feel are duplicates and only deliver the best shots.
How do I receive my photos?
I will send you a link to a website called Pixieset, where you can download all of your digital files straight to your computer or a storage device. You can also share this link with family and friends for up to one year after the session.
You will also receive printing rights contract, should you choose to print them on your own.
Do you retouch photos?
Yes, all images are retouched up in lightroom or photoshop.
What if it rains the day of my outdoor session?
If you have any weather concerns please email or text message me 1-2 days before the session. I will most likely have the same concerns and email you first to talk about a possible reschedule date. If we can't tell exactly how the weather will be for your session the day before then we can play it by ear and decide the morning of.
