Question 1

DO YOU TRAVEL?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I thrive on the excitement of a great adventure and let love guide the way. From Virginia and beyond, every moment is a story waiting to be documented.

Question 2

WILL YOU HELP US CHOOSE OUR OUTFITS?

Accepted Answer

Of course, I’d love to help you choose your outfit! Sometimes I feel like I was a stylist in another life—though definitely not for myself, haha! Is that even possible? I genuinely enjoy helping my couples find the perfect look. I’ll also share some tips, tricks, and outfit inspiration to make the process fun and stress-free!

Question 3

WHAT IF THERE IS INCLEMENT WEATHER FOR OUR SCHEDULED SESSION?

Accepted Answer

Weather can be unpredictable, and sometimes plans need to adjust at the last minute. The week leading up to your session, I keep a close eye on the forecast, and if anything unexpected comes up, I’ll be in touch to discuss our options. While I always encourage embracing the weather—some of the most stunning images come from those unique moments—I completely understand the desire for clear skies. If the conditions get too wild and Plan B isn’t feasible, we’ll work together to find a new date that suits everyone!

Question 4

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY GALLERY?

Accepted Answer

Engagement and couple session galleries are typically delivered within three to four weeks, while wedding and elopement galleries take about eight to twelve weeks. I know waiting can feel like forever when you’re excited to see your photos, which is why I send a sneak peek of your images within a week of every session. This way, you’ll have beautiful moments to share with friends and family while you eagerly anticipate the full gallery!

Question 5

DO YOU OFFER RAW IMAGES?

Accepted Answer

I don’t offer unedited images, as editing is a vital part of my creative process. It’s where I add my personal touch to make each final image uniquely yours. Additionally, RAW files are extremely large and require substantial storage and processing power—something most people aren’t equipped for. My goal is to provide you with a polished final product that’s both beautiful and manageable.

Question 6

HOW DO PAYMENTS WORK?

Accepted Answer

For sessions, a 50% deposit is required at the time of the initial invoice to secure your date. For weddings or larger events, a 25% deposit is required. I also offer flexible payment plans, and if you’d prefer to pay in full upfront, just let me know!

Question 7

DO YOU WATERMARK YOUR PHOTOS?

Accepted Answer

I watermark images in my online gallery to protect them from screenshots, but once you download the image, the watermark will be removed. This ensures you're sharing the highest quality version, as screenshots can distort the image’s clarity. My goal is for you to share the best possible representation of your images.

Question 8

HOW WILL PHOTOS BE DELIVERED?

Accepted Answer

I use Pic-Time for my galleries, and I absolutely love it—it’s so user-friendly! You'll be able to view all your images, download them individually or in bulk, either for web use or high resolution for printing. The best part? It's connected to my print shop! You can create albums, prints in various sizes, calendars, blankets, mugs, and so much more!
