Frequently Asked Questions
-
After reaching out to me through my inquiry form & finding a date, I send a booking link with a contract and require a 25% retainer. The rest of the payment is not due until the week of our session. I do offer payment plans, but I do not deliver photos until after the final payment.
-
Rescheduling is something that has happened many times for many reasons! Retainer fees are non-refundable but can be transferred to a new day!
-
When my clients ask me this question I say, "what is bad weather to you?" I LOVE moody clouds, snowflakes on eyelashes, the wind in your hair, rain drops on your shoulders. Embracing the storm is romantic. I will shoot in any weather that is safe! If my couple is adventurous enough, so am I. So here’s to huddling in our cars until the hail stops! Dancing in the rain is what life’s all about after all!
However, if you were envisioning specific vibes for your session and good weather was a huge part of that vision, I’m totally cool with rescheduling! Just keep me posted, and we will make it happen! -
You know it! My backup equipment includes camera bodies and lenses! All of my cameras have dual card slots - this means every photo I take simultaneously saves to each card so that they mirror each other, and if one of the cards were to have a technical problem, your images would still be safe on the 2nd card.
I save all of your images to multiple solid-state hard drives immediately after I leave our session, and then I also save them to my home base RAID 1 redundant drive when I get home! Once I deliver your gallery, I clear your photos from my solid-state hard drives and keep everything on my home base for 2 years.

Acts of service is my #1 love language!!! I will be as much of a resource as you want! Whether that’s helping pick a location for your shoot/elopement, guidance on acquiring permits, finding an Airbnb, outfits to wear, hair & makeup artists, florists & bakeries…I’m here to help in any way! Additionally, I like to send my clients session specific guides packed with helpful tips and suggestions to prep for our time together!
-
All galleries are delivered via email to an online gallery where you can download, print, save favorites, and so much more. I do recommend taking the time to download and save all of your favorites somewhere safe, because all galleries do expire after 3 months.
Turn-around time for Elopements & Weddings is typically about 8-10 weeks. For all other sessions, about 2-4 weeks. -
I guarantee at least 50-70 photos per hour of shooting, often times its more!
NO! I deliver all digital photos I think are beautiful. (Even bloopers) I will delete blurry/unflattering/repeat photos, but that is it. I do not personally believe you should have to pay extra for beautiful photos that you love! -
Yes, you can absolutely print through me! When you receive your gallery you can order your prints, framed prints, canvas, metal prints, cards, photo books, etc straight to your door from your gallery! You can choose the size and amount of each item! I guarantee high quality and fast shipping. I use professional Labs.
If you print elsewhere that is TOTALLY fine, but I cannot guarantee the quality! If a photo prints differently than it looks online (such as brighter or darker) it is up to your printing service to correct! Print quality all depends on their process and materials - consider whether the company will upload your photos in high or low resolution, add filters overtop your photos, or use paper + toner that isn’t great quality. Other sites can make things cheaper for a reason, and it’s not always good! However, there are great print sites out there! Just do your research before you press that order button! -
I do not give out my RAW images. This is where my style + art come alive in the photos, and I will deliver you the high-resolution edited images. Trust me, you don’t want the RAWS!
-
I am based out of Northeast Ohio, but I travel all the time for clients! There isn’t a place on this Earth I won’t go to document your story!
-
If our time together is about an hour's drive from my home, then there are no travel fees. 2 hours and beyond, it’s $25/hr (driving).
Travel for Elopements & Destination Sessions is bundled right in with the package, and I make all of my travel arrangements and accommodations so you don’t have to worry about a thing! -
Absolutely! I’m always down to split up payments and come up with a payment schedule that works for you! Just let me know, and we’ll figure it all out!
-
Nope! I do not photoshop my photos unless I neeeed to, but that’s generally to get something out of the photo, like random people walking around behind your photos or something like that. I’ll do light touch-ups to enhance your existing beauty, but never anything that alters your real appearance.
