FAQS

How long have you been a photographer for?

• I started almost two years ago in 2023.

What kind of camera and equipment do you have?

• I shoot with a Canon EOS RP & currently have an 85mm 1.4 lens & a 35mm. I’m looking to expand my lens in the near future including a 24-70mm. I also have 2 stand up lights I can use that plug in as well as one that attaches to my camera.

What are your payment terms and accepted forms of payment?

• I require a deposit upon booking, which is non refundable. You are able to reschedule up to 48 hours before the shoot & that deposit will move to the new date. If it’s rescheduled within 48 hours, a new deposit will be required. Forms of payment currently are Zelle, Paypal, Venmo & Cash App.

How will final images be delivered & what is your turn around time?

• Final images will be delivered via an online gallery & are usually delivered in 1-2 weeks for portraits, couples & families. Events are a longer turn around time which depends on the event type & amount of images, but will range from 2-6 weeks.

• Additionally, I have an option to rush deliver images for an additional fee of $50. Rush delivery will be 48-72 hours for portraits, couples & families, but is not an option for special events at this time.

What are our usage rights?

• You have full rights to use the images for social media, for prints and anything within that capacity. If you’re booking as a brand and wanting to use them for a website, you have full rights to do so as well as the rate reflects that usage. If you are looking to use them for any ads or marketing purposes, there will be a one time fee that can be discussed during your inquiry.

Do you provide any raw/unedited images?

• No I do not. If you choose to add on the service of viewing the gallery & choosing your images, you will see them raw/unedited, but you are not allowed to use those images. RAW files are dull, flat, and oversized because they contain all the data needed for my specific editing process. They are a starting point, not a final product, and they don't reflect the final artistic vision.

Can we make any edits to your images?

• No you cannot. The images you receive are not just snapshots; they are final works of art that represent my professional style. When you apply your own filters or edits, it changes the finished product & is no longer an accurate representation of my work. Allowing images that do not meet my quality standards to be posted undermines the artistic integrity of my entire portfolio. HOWEVER, if you receive images back and want something tweaked, don’t hesitate to ask!

Do you do any facetune/body tuning type of things during your editing process?

• I always aim to capture and enhance natural beauty through professional editing techniques that maintain the authenticity of the image. I avoid using heavy app-style edits as I’m trying to provide high quality photos that truly represent you. I do edit any acne, scarring, or can smooth out any unwanted texture. Feel free to request anything additional and I can let you know if it’s something i’m comfortable with or not!

What is your policy on bringing a plus one to our shoot or having a plus one take any behind the scenes photos/video with their phone?

• Both are absolutely welcome and allowed! I want you to feel comfortable! Please only bring one plus one at most as bringing too many people can become a distraction to the shoot.
