How do we get started?
Getting Started is Simple! Schedule your preferred day and time for your session through the Book Appointment page and I’ll get back to you within an hour so we can discuss your vision and what you're looking for.
When should we book?
Book Early. Weekend dates and evenings tend to fill up quickly, so I recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance for solo, engagement, elopement, and graduation sessions whenever possible.
How do we secure a session?
Retainer. This is a non-refundable payment that secures your spot but also covers some of the amount for the session.
The retainer is finalized after you’ve selected your day/time and signed the agreement. The remaining amount will be due closer to the date of the session/event.
What is your photography and editing style?
Artistry & Lifestyle. My photography focuses on highlighting the special moments in your life through candid images while adding an artistic touch with intentional posing and cinematic framing.
My final edits give each photo a bright and airy look, creating a cohesive and consistent feel throughout all of the photos!
Your Questions,
Answered!
You can view more examples of my photography and editing style on my Portfolio page.
If you do have a specific request for how you want your photos to look, such as wanting a dreamy film look, we can definitely discuss more about it by contacting me through the Contact page or during the booking stage!
What’s the best time for outdoor portraits?
Choose a Time Close to Golden Hour. The hour before sunset or sunrise (golden hour) provides the most flattering natural light for outdoor sessions. However if the afternoon works better for you we can certainly do portraits during that time!
How many locations come with the session?
Planning Locations. One location works best for a one-hour solo session, while two locations are perfect for a two-hour engagement, elopement, or graduation session. Choosing locations will be discuss after your day/time are selected.
What if a location requires a photo permit?
photography fee. Some venues/locations for elopements require a photography permit, this is usually cover by the clients as part of their venue/location expenses. For other sessions I’ll help clarify any requirements for your chosen location ahead of time so everything is taken care of before the photoshoot.
When should we arrive to the session?
Arrive on Time. Please arrive 10-15 mins early so we can start photographing at your scheduled time.
What if the weather is not looking too good?
Weather. If it rains or severe weather is expected, I'll send a message in advance and we can confirm if you would like to continue with the session or reschedule at no additional cost.
How many outfits can we bring?
Outfits. For two-hour sessions bring a second outfit if you'd like more variety in your gallery. I always have clients wear whatever they’d like!
If you’re interested in doing a solo session and would like to discuss about the outfit you’re going for, you can contact me through the Contact page or we can talk about it during the booking stage!
Would we be able to get some photo retouches after we received the gallery?
3 Retouches. I do offer 3 free retouches for any photos you choose, but afterwards any other photos would be $25 each.
Depending on your request, there are some edits I may not be able to accommodate, such as altering facial expressions that weren't naturally captured during the photoshoot.
How long would we have access to our online gallery?
3-6 Months.
Portraits & Graduations: Gallery available for 3 months.
Engagements & Elopements: Gallery available for 6 months
