FAQ

What has your experience been like as a photographer?
I grew up in the photography and videography world my whole life. However, I started my business almost 4 years ago during the pandemic when I had a lot of extra free time. I have worked my butt off for 4 years to get to this point. I plan to continue to work for a very long time. Photography is a huge passion of mine and I am so thankful I have been able to create what was once a hobby and turn it into a career.

How would you describe your photography style?
The first word that comes to mind is real, warm, and embracing. I love my images to feel like I am just there in the present moment. I am your third wheel and here to capture the love you and your partner share. My editing style is on the warmer side to give it that homey glow. I am your hype man, I want your confidence to glow off your images.
-
Why should I hire a professional photographer?
It isn’t just about being able to use a high-quality camera. A cell phone camera is getting to the quality of a professional camera. As a photographer, I am thinking about so much more such as lighting, angels, posing, things in the background, etc. Also as a photographer, I take those beautiful photos I take and edit them to make sure you look good in every photo. I put so much effort into making this experience perfect for you before, during, and after the session.

Where are you based?
I am based in the Arizona Valley, however I travel all across Arizona to all the different locations I use. So I will go everywhere and anywhere!!

Do you travel??
YES!!! I will travel anywhere and everywhere for a session. Depending on the location you will have to pay a travel fee. If you want my bucket list of dream locations please reach out! I will photograph your session for FREE!
-
How far in advance should I book?
It all depends on the session you are trying to book. Weddings you should book as soon as you know. We want to make sure there is enough time to finalize all the details. For seniors, couples, or any other sessions you should book at least 2 weeks in advance to make sure we can have enough time to finalize everything.
-
How do I book a session?
You will fill out an inquiry sheet which can be found in the contact part of my website. Next, you will get an email from me and we will figure out pricing, location, and anything else. Next, you will sign your contract, pay your nonrefundable deposit, and fill out a survey I will give you. For more in-depth on how the process works, please go to the process page on my website to learn all about it.

Can we meet??
Of course!! I want to make sure that you are confident in who you are working with and the vision you want to bring alive. Let’s meet for coffee or a meal to go over all the details. When you book a wedding with me we will have a meeting to go over all the details.

Our pet is family to us, can I bring my pet??
UHHH DUH! Whether it is a dog, cat, or even snake I want you to feel like you can include your best friend. I have photographed many animals and I love them all! I only have certain locations that allow pets. So, we will work together to find the perfect place that allows you to bring your pet!
-
But What Will I Wear?!?
If you are at a loss on what to wear like the Grinch that Stole Christmas, you are not alone. I always suggest neutrals because they look great on everyone and they look great with my editing style. However, I want you to feel like your most confident self during your session, so please wear whatever you feel best in! Also, you can always reach out if you want more guidance on what to wear. I am here to make this the best photography experience yet.
-
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
If you ever need to cancel or reschedule, I can work with you to find the best solution. If you decide to cancel less than 24 hours in advance you will be required to pay 60% of your remaining balance. If you cancel and reschedule you will pay a $50 rescheduling fee. Then you will still owe the rest of your payment 2 days before your new session date.
-
What happens if it rains?
Rain is usually not a big deal here in Arizona but on the off chance it does rain. We have a few options, if you are in an outdoor location we can still do the session in the rain. Rain photos always turn out so beautiful. We could also try to find a studio space inside that we could use. But if you would prefer to reschedule. you will have to pay that $50 rescheduling fee.
-
How/when will my photos be delivered?
You will get 2 online galleries via email. The first one is your sneak peeks, which will be delivered 1 to 2 days after your session. Your full gallery will be delivered 1 to 2 weeks after the session.
If you booked a wedding sneak peeks will be delivered between 3 to 4 days and the full gallery will be delivered 4 to 6 weeks after your wedding.
-
Do you provide RAW images?
Nope.
-
Do I Photoshop?
I understand you may not want certain parts of yourself in the photo. But my job is to make you feel AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL!! I only edit out anything that is non-perminate if requested, such as acne, bandaids, loose hairs, or shirts that have become untucked. If you have something you don’t want in your images, talk to me, and we can figure something out.
-
How long do you store my images?
I will store your images from your online gallery for 6 months. After that, you will get a reminder a few days before your session gets deleted to make sure you can download your session in time.
