Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I wear?
First and foremost, you should wear what you feel your best in! It might sound cliché, but it really can make a difference in how comfortable you look in front of the camera. Otherwise, fabrics with a bit of movement to them work really nicely in photos. Try to avoid really high contrast pattern/color combinations (like black and white checkers).
What if the weather is bad?
Most people's version of "bad weather" is usually a photographer's dream! I love cloud cover - it makes a huge softbox in the sky. Gusty weather gives you that celebrity windblown look. Even if it rains, I have some favorite locations where you can stay dry under cover. That being said, I do keep an eye on the weather a few days out from your event. Often times we can dodge the weather by moving the shoot by a few hours on the same day. If the weather is looking truly miserable and your event is something we can reschedule (i.e. not a wedding), we'll find a new date as close as possible to the original timeline that works for the both of us.
What do I do with my hands?
I'll help you out with that! I promise your hands won't look as awkward as they suddenly feel on the day of a shoot. I'll guide you into natural looking poses that will give your hands a place to be!
How soon can I get the photos?
For most shoots, you'll get your photos after a couple of weeks. For a wedding it takes about four weeks. If you need a rush turnaround, get in touch! I can make that happen too.
Can I get the RAW files?
Short answer - no (sorry!). Culling and editing just as important as the shoot itself. I promise to carefully curate and edit the shots that represent the best version of you on your special day.
How does payment work?
I require a 50% deposit up front at the time the contract is signed.
Do you do video?
I don't offer video services.
