Investment & Process
Every story is different. You deserve a unique, tailored approach.
Process
1. Planning & Contract
Once you decide to book me, we will figure out a location. I will send a list if you do not have something in mind.
Next, you will receive a booking link via email or text. From here you will fill out a questionnaire which will provide me the most important details before your session.
Lastly, you will go over the contract & sign electronically.
2. Payment & Deposit
From your booking link you have the ability to pay your deposit & any remaining balances.
The deposit is due at the time of booking & goes towards your session. The remaining balance can be paid in full or you have until 2 weeks prior to your session to pay the remainder.
If you are interested in a payment plan I offer those as well at 0% interest.
3. The Big Day
Yay the day is finally here!
I find it so important to wear something you feel totally confident in! If you need help with outfits I offer a "What to wear guide" that I can share with you if you need some outfit help & inspo.
Look out for emails or texts prior to your session. I will reach out so we can make a plan on exactly when and where to meet.
4. Album & Prints
Thank you for being so patient -- you rock! I will deliver your online album through a link via email or text.
Once you have swooned over your pictures you can decide if you'd like to purchase prints or an album. Your online gallery allows you to do this & offers a wide variety of high quality print products to choose from. I give all my clients print release rights so you are not required to purchase prints through your album.

FAQ
How long does it take to get our photos delivered?
I do not just apply a preset & call it quits. I hand edit every single photo & make sure each one is amazing. Because of the time it takes to sift through hundreds, sometimes thousands of images & occasionally edit very intricate details, it can take several weeks to a few months. Also, some months I am much busier than others which can play a factor as well.
Here are some estimates for the turnaround:
Maternity: 2-4 weeks
Weddings: 4-8 weeks
Family: 2-4 weeks
Seniors: 2-4 weeks
Minis: 2-3 weeks
Events: 2-8 weeks
When is my deposit & final payment due?
Deposit is due at the time of booking in order to secure your spot. Your final payment is not due until 2 weeks before your session. You can make payments or pay all at once. Whatever is easier for you!
I have no location in mind for my shoot, can you help with that?
Yes! Some people know exactly where they want to do their shoot. Others have no clue. I can send you a list of my favorite locations once you book with me.
Help! I'm feeling overwhelmed & need outfit ideas.
Reach out to me and I will send you my "What To Wear Guide". Here's just a couple things to remember --
1. Wear something you feel confident in
2. No big logos or busy patterns
3. Light, neutral, solid, striped and some florals that are not too overwhelming. Those are my most recommended styles.
3. You don't have to be overly matchy but can be if you want. You can still look coordinated without everyone in the exact same pattern, so don't stress about that!
Do you charge travel fees?
If your shoot is within 30 min from me there is no travel fee. However, anything outside of 30 min I will start to charge a small fee per mile.
Destination weddings are a different ballgame. If your wedding is a significant distance away please contact me & I can give you a better idea.
You're booked up on my date. What now?
Finding the right photographer is not always easy! Of course, I would be thrilled to work with anyone that enjoys my work, however sometimes I am booked that day or simply not able to take on more shoots at the moment. I still want you to invest in a good photographer even if its not me and maybe one day we will have the opportunity to work together!
My best advice for finding someone is first and foremost always ask to see their portfolio. Find someone whose style appeals to you most. The biggest mistake people make is going with a photographer solely based on cost instead of skill.
