FAQ
How does booking a session work? Do you require a deposit?
Booking a session starts with the initial inquiry. I am appreciative if you let me know what your thoughts are to make your session special to you first. If you have no idea, tell me that too so I can help! The next step would be selecting date and time. (Locations can be thought of later or closer to time but if you have something specific, I'd love to know!) Following collecting details like your email and if you'd like to place a deposit, make payments or pay in full, I will send you my agreement and invoice. Feel free to message me at any point between initial booking and your session with any questions you may have! Within normal people awake time of course ;)
-Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required of $50 for sessions and 10% for weddings to hold a date. I know that the word "non-refundable" is a scary one. This is due to the fact that I will be turning others away from booking your date.
Do you use set ups and props?
For Newborns I do not. It's all natural and documentary style. You'll notice in my galleries that there are no backdrops or extravagant props. On occasion. I will find that perfect something simple to add to your outdoor session booked with me! For example, something to sit on, etc. Show me what you'd like to add and we can work together to make your session unique!
Occasionally and/or seasonally I will do a mini session day. Sometimes those will be with props or setups.
Do you have a client closet or maternity gowns?
Yes I do! I am working on a special page to showcase these items! Shoot me an email to see if I have anything specific on hand!
Do You do Mini Sessions?
Occasionally and/or seasonally I will do a mini session day! Props and setups are usually minimal. Follow my Facebook page for those details!
Do you help with a location for our shoot together?
Absolutely! I always start the conversation about location with asking you if you had anything specific in mind. Once you give me an idea of what artistic direction you'd like to go, I will ask if you know anyone with property we can borrow with permission. I am not one of those that will trespass if I like a location that does not belong to the public. Also, Springfield parks require a photographer fee of $25 per day of use. If you would like one of those locations I will split the cost with you! Fellow's Lake does not require a fee and is beautiful most of the year!
When can i expect to receive my photos?
I do my best to have a turnaround time of 2 weeks for regular or half sessions, minis within 3 weeks, and weddings between 6-8 weeks! Anything over that would be because life happened and will be communicated to the best of my ability!
How many photos will i receive?
My goal is to make sure you receive all of the best images from your session edited according to my artistic style. Half sessions will be no less than 20+ images. Full sessions will be no less than 40+ images. Weddings tend to be at least 500 for a full day!
Do you travel for shoots?
Yes, I do! I have a radius of 40 miles from my home that is included in the session fee. Over that, a mileage fee may apply.
