Info & Faq Answers

  • Editing Process

    Editing is a HUGE part of what I do, and I take the utmost pride in it! I always say my job is an iceberg; 10% of my time is spent shooting and 90% is spent editing. I spend an average of 60-80 hours on each wedding/event and am a perfectionist when it comes to editing. My goal is to deliver the best in clean, contemporary, organic, and honest photography. I do all of the following and much more to the best of my ability before photos are delivered:

    - Correct/perfect colors & lighting

    - Smooth skin and remove blemishes

    - Fix makeup/sunburns/tan lines

    - Whiten teeth

    - Remove unwanted/unsightly objects

    - Perform special retouching requests

    I’m always happy to take on any specific editing requests in addition to my typical process!

  • Turnaround time

    You will receive:

    - A First Look (1 - 3 edited photos) within 48 hours of your event/session

    - A Sneak Peek (10% - 20% of your edited photos) within 2 weeks of your event/session

    - Your Full Gallery (100% of your edited photos) 10-12 weeks (2-3 months) after your wedding/event, and 4-8 weeks (1-2 months) after your small session

    During peak wedding season, turn-around time can be longer than 12 weeks, but this is extremely rare!

  • 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 high standards, I never release raw/unedited photos - every photo you receive will be carefully edited and delivered to you in a Google Drive folder and/or on a USB flash drive in the mail, depending on your preference!

    If you’d like your photos in another format, don’t hesitate to reach out and we’ll make it happen!

  • Deposits

    Typically, 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!

  • Travel

    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.

  • Albums / Prints

    I love creating photo books and would be happy to collaborate with you on a project like this! Just send me an inquiry with your preferences and we can get started.

    At this time, I do not offer individual prints, but I can help you find a great printer in your area!

  • Pet policy

    PLEASE bring your dog/cat/hamster/dragon to your session; 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!

  • Props & outfits

    You can bring whatever you’d like to your session - multiple outfits, props, pets, signs, etc.

    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, and outfit choices!

    If your session is outdoors, I highly recommend bringing water with you; it’s hot out there!

  • Multiple photographers

    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 aside from your ABP photographers.

    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.

    All ABP packages are customizable to include 2 photographers for your session/event!
