FAQs

Answers to my most commonly asked questions when it comes to photo shoots and Photoshop!

Wardrobe:

This is really up to you. And it depends on what you want your photos to say. Are you taking these for professional or personal reasons? Where are the photos being taken? These are things that can determine your outfit. You know your style best, so I’m not going to tell you what to wear. But if you need another opinion on what would look best for your particular photoshoot, I’m here to help guide you. If you have inspiration photos, that can really help when figuring out your look. Also, whether this is a styled editorial shoot or personal photos, I can recommend stylists to assist! 

Location:

I am happy share location ideas with you and help find the best place for your photos.  Please understand that some locations may require a fee or permits and/or special permission to shoot.  In that instance, any fees incurred and permission will be the client's responsibility. For an additional fee, I offer location scouting if you wish!

Editing:

Can you Photoshop me? The answer: yes and no. Yes, I can fix errant hairs, make a piece of lint on your shirt disappear, fix that blemish on your face, adjust lighting. This is what is included in your standard retouching. As an extra service add-on, I can offer advanced retouching on select images. Please understand that not everything can be retouched but will do my best to fulfill your requests!

Subject Participation:

During the photo shoot, I may guide and direct subjects on how to stand, pose, turn their head, smile, etc. I do this to get the best overall flattering images. Please make sure everyone being photographed arrives to the shoot rested, radiating positive vibes and ready to have their best self photographed.

Can I have RAW/unedited images?

No. I tend to take a lot of photos during a session. I carefully cull through those images to select the best of the best and delete the rest. Images deleted include, duplicates, blurry or technically unusable images, and unflattering images {blinking, etc}. The images I deliver are a reflection of my work and brand and the best of YOU! I will not deliver anything that doesn't show that. Photographer Caleb Kerr explains this topic best, and frankly, I cannot say it better myself. See the reasons why I do not deliver RAW/unedited images HERE.

Mother Nature:

Since I cannot control the weather, sometimes shoots will need to be rescheduled. These scenarios will be handled on a case by case basis.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule my shoot?

Sometimes things happen and we need to reschedule. Please give me AT LEAST 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. I tend to keep booked and often have to turn down clients because of time constraints. The more notice I have if you're unavailable the better so I can offer that spot to someone who is patiently waiting for it.

What are your rates?

Delivery of digital images and Prints/Products:

Once your images are ready {usually within 10 days of your session}, I will email them to you via a private password protected link. From here you will be able to download, share, order prints and products. The prints and products offered are a high quality and I highly recommend, but you are under no obligation to purchase from here. I can recommend other printing services that can deliver high quality prints. In other words, please do not print these images up at your local drugstore as I cannot guarantee how your images will turn out.

Sharing + Social Media:

Feel free to share your photos on any social platform. If there is any reason I feel the photo should not be shared {usually because of editing purposes}, I will let you know. In addition, I may use your photos on my website and photography social media accounts. In the event I post your images, I will send you a model release form.
