Q: Do you have a photography studio?

Q: Can I choose the session location?
A: Yes, as mentioned above, we are happy to choose a location for you based on your session goals, or you can book your own venue. In this instance we ask that you clear the venue with us before the session is booked so that we can confirm that space and lighting conditions are appropriate to meet your needs. Note: It will be your responsibility to cover all venue rental fees and to obtain proper photography permits before day of session.
Q: Are you willing to travel for a session?

Q: What if I have to cancel the session?

Q: What if the photographer cancels the session?
A: It is very rare that we have to cancel a session, but in that instance we would work hard to reschedule your session and the 50% deposit you paid would be applied to the rescheduled shoot. However, if you choose not to reschedule, or are not able to, you will receive the 50% deposit back in full.
Q: How soon can I expect to receive my photos?
A: Usually within 2 weeks.
First, you will receive a link to view your images online within 7 days of your shoot, this will allow you to select the photos you want to be retouched. (These will not be the finished photos) Once you have confirmed your retouch photos, you will receive a file share link within 7 additional days containing all of your finished photos!
Q: Will I get every photo that we take?
A: Possibly but not necessarily, Though most shots will be included, the nature of photography is creativity and experimentation, some ideas just don’t turn out.
Q: What should I bring to the session?
A: Only yourself and the outfits/accessories needed to make your vision come to life. It’s a great idea to have water, and more options than you think you need for outfits/accessories in case one doesn’t look right on camera.
Q: Can I bring a friend to the session?
A: It’s okay to have a friend or relative along to assist with your hair/makeup, however we ask that friends and family refrain from offering creative critique and/or direction.
Q: How soon will I get my 35mm photos back?
A: Heads up that 35mm film typically takes about two weeks to develop before they can be viewed or edited. But you will receive a file share link with a digital version of your film photos when the development is finished (usually three weeks after the shoot: two weeks to develop, one week to edit).
