The FAQ
Do you Travel?
As of right now, the farthest I will drive for a photoshoot would be 1 - 2 hours! My goal is to be able to do photoshoots in different states to really give the client what they want!
How long have you been doing this?
I started getting really serious with photography around my sophomore year of high school because I took a photography class as well as a graphic design class! I took a little bit of a break but I have been doing it for about 3 years now!
How many photos do we get?
I do have different package plans that range from smallest to greatest. I have created Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum packages. They range from 10 - 15 edited photos all the way up to 30 50 photos! This all depends on how long the shoot is as well as the size of the group, outfit changes, location, etc.
How do we get our photos?
I have started using the amazing website Pixieset to give my clients their photos in such a free and easy way! I simply will upload your photos into your file on Pixieset and once it is complete, you will get an email with a confirmation password and it will unlock access to your photos! From there, you will be able to download your photos! It is very easy and fast because you can simply download them straight to your phone or use a computer and download them onto there!
Do you retouch photos?
I do simple edits to my clients photos such as, lighting changes, smoothness to the background and color enhancing just incase we take photos on a gloomy day! I never change anything on a client unless they ask me to. Say the client has a bruise, scratch, strand of hair, or something they do not want in the pictures and they ask me to remove them, I will!
How do we book you?
You can message me on Facebook, Instagram or email me! I typically answer right away or if I am busy, I will try to get in touch within an hour or two!
Can you help us with planning?
Of course! Every single time a client and I start making plans for a photoshoot, I start off by asking what they want. Where are you thinking you want to get them done? How many locations are you thinking? Are you wanting multiple outfit changes? And we go from there! If the client isn't sure what they want, I will ask them what kind of scenery they like such as, nature or city. Would you like to take them in a park or in a town/city? I want the photoshoot to be all about the client so I am always open to hearing what they want but I am also here to help!
What should we wear?
I love fashion and I could talk all day about the different trends going on right now but this is about my client, not me! I suggest you just be you, wear what you normally wear but dress up a little! You want to dress for the event. If you are wanting senior photos, I suggest 2-3 outfit changes and they coordinate with the themes you are wanting! If you play sports, I would love to take some sporty pictures with your uniform! If you are getting engagement photos, typically you might want to coordinate your outfits to match! Just be you! <3
