Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you requre a deposit to book your services?

    I require a 50% non-refundable deposit to book; the remaining 50% payment is typically due one week before your session. I recognize that this is not convenient for everyone and am happy to offer additional payment plans to best accommodate your schedule!

  • Do you release raw/unedited photos?

    As a professional photographer, I take the utmost pride in my work; I will only deliver the best of the best to you. Because of my personal standards, I never release raw/unedited photos; every photo you receive will be carefully edited and delivered to you in a Google Drive folder or on a USB flash drive in the mail, depending on your preference.

  • When will I receive my edited photos?

    You will receive a First Look (1 - 3 photos) within 48 hours of your session, and a full Sneak Peek (10% - 20% of your photos) 1-2 weeks after session. You will receive your Full Collection 6-10 weeks after your session; during peak wedding season, turn-around time can be up to 12 weeks, however this is extremely rare.

  • Do you offer wedding packages larger than 6 hours?

    Because of the physical and mental demands of photographing large events, I’ve made the decision to cap my packages at 6 hours of shooting time. This is a personal choice for myself and while I recognize it is not something that works for everyone, I am more than willing to chat about how we can make it work for your wedding!

  • What should I bring to my photography session?

    Whatever you’d like! You can bring multiple outfits, props, pets, signs, etc. to your session. If you have a specific theme in mind, let me know before our session so we can brainstorm together. I’m here for any/all questions as you make decisions about session locations, theme ideas, outfit choices, etc. If your session is outdoors, I highly recommend bringing water with you; it’s hot out there!

  • Can I bring my dog/cat/hamster/dragon to my photography session?

    YES. I am a huge animal person and I LOVE working with you and your pets! Let me know if your pet has any special needs that I should know about before our session and I’ll be happy to accommodate accordingly!

  • Can my friend/uncle/sister act as a "second photographer" during my wedding/session?

    In order to ensure you end up with the best possible shots from your day, I do not allow any other photographers to be present and actively shooting at your event/session. This includes friends and family members who either do photography as a hobby or professionally. While I realize and completely accept that your guests will want to snap some photos of their own on their phones or small cameras, I do ask that you not allow/encourage others to act as a “second photographer” for the day. Please ask your guests to be respectful of my time and work by not allowing extraneous photography during your event as it is always distracting and detrimental to the final product, even when the best intentions and boundaries are set.

  • Do you offer albums/prints/custom gifts?

    At this time, I do not offer any services outside of the digital photo files you will receive after your session. I am happy to point you in the direction of my favorite printing/album companies for your convenience!

  • How far are you willing to travel for my session?

    I am currently based out of Phoenix, Arizona but I love destination sessions and will travel wherever you need me to for your event/session! I’ve photographed in LOTS of different climates and am very comfortable with extended/overnight destination needs. Travel fees for locations outside of Phoenix will be applied to your package pricing.

  • Have a question that's not on this list?

    Send me a message anytime and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! Thank you!!
