frequently asked questions

for everything you're dying to know

I want to be as transparent & open as possible to ensure that you have a great experience! We all know that sometimes getting your photos taken can be nerve wracking, especially if you have never done it before, so I want to provide you with all the information to settle your nerves! If your question is not answered here, please feel free to send me an email & I would be happy to answer any question at all!


Do You Help Plan Adventure Sessions + Elopements?
Do You Help Plan Adventure Sessions + Elopements?

Yes, yes yessss! I absolutely love helping my couples plan their adventure session or elopement! From the mountains to the oceans, I adore spending time with my couples & deciding on where they think might be their best option. I can also help with location scouting, finding acomodations, creating a timeline, and connections to local vendors!

How Early Should I Book With You & What Is The Booking Process?
How Early Should I Book With You & What Is The Booking Process?

To book with me, please first send me an email or use the "Say Hey" page to send me a message & get the conversation going! For weddings - please book a year to a year & a half in advance to ensure my availability! For smaller weddings & elopements, 6 months in advance is also possible (but don't hesitate to send s message if you're planning something sooner)! For all other sessions I typically book 1-2 months ahead! Once you have decided to book with me, I will send you a contract & an invoice for you to sign. 

How Many Images Can I Expect?
How Many Images Can I Expect?

For photo sessions you can expect around 50+ images. For weddings + elopements you can expect 50-75 images per hour. For multi-day adventure elopements, you can expect a gallery of 1000+ images, documenting our entire time together!

How Long Will It Take To Get My Images Back?
How Long Will It Take To Get My Images Back?

For photo sessions it will take me 1 month to return your images. For weddings up to 3 months. If an image needs to be used for something such as Christmas cards, wedding invitations, etc, and you need one as soon as possible, I will send you some edited images as soon as possible. This must be discussed with me prior to the shoot.

What Equipment/ Editing Software Do You Use?
What Equipment/ Editing Software Do You Use?

I use a two Sony A7III's with a variety of different lenses and on camera flashes for receptions. Both of my cameras have dual card slots that your images are being written to, to ensure their are safe! I use Lightroom for 99% of my editing but will sometimes bring the image into Photoshop if I need to do some extra, more in depth editing!

How Will I Receive My Files?
How Will I Receive My Files?

Your files will be sent through an online gallery using a software called Sprout Studio. This gallery can be shared with family & friends by sharing your link. You can order your prints + products through your gallery from the professional printing company I use, or you can choose to download your images and get them printed wherever you would like. I will however caution against getting enlargements or products from places that do not specialize in photography prints as the quality will not be as good. It is important to download all of your images from your gallery and save them onto a USB for your personal use because your gallery will only be active online for 3 months.

Will I Get A Print Release? What Rights Do I Have To The Digital Images?
Will I Get A Print Release? What Rights Do I Have To The Digital Images?

Yes! You are encouraged to print and share as many photos as possible! I believe that images look better in print! I also help all of my couples with albums of all budgets, so if this is something I can take off your plate - let me help! You may not alter the images in any way or use them to sell in any way. This is all covered in my contract!

Do You Deliver Every Image You Shoot? Can I Ask For The RAW (Unprocessed) Images?
Do You Deliver Every Image You Shoot? Can I Ask For The RAW (Unprocessed) Images?

No I do not. I go through your images and pick out the ones that are out of focus, test shots, bad lighting, etc. You will always receive your amount of promised images, but I will not send out the raw images. The reason for this is because editing and the style that i use to edit is half the creative process. It's the way that you should be able to recognize a certain photographer over another. Giving you the raw files would feel incomplete to me and would be a disservice to the art!

How Long Do You Keep Our Photos On File?
How Long Do You Keep Our Photos On File?

I typically keep your photos on file for up to one year on a hard drive. After the images are delivered to you, they are your responsibility to download and to save in a secure spot! I would suggest downloading the images not only to your computer, but also to a USB stick (or two) or hard drive to ensure that if your computer crashes you will have them!
