Frequently Asked questions

How do payments work?

A 30% deposit is required to secure your booking to be sent via Venmo or PayPal. After that, we will set up a payment plan for the remainder to be split into two installments, one 30 days before the session and one on the day of the session.   

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

The 30% deposit is nonrefundable and a new deposit is required to secure a new booking date.

What if we have to reschedule due to weather?

If the weather is truly chucking down rain/hail/snow, in a joint decision we will find an alternative shooting date that works for the both of us. That being said, some of the most fun and life-filled sessions are the ones in weather that is a little crazy. A little bit of sprinkle won’t hurt us!

Where are you based? Do you travel to shoot?

I am based in Lake Tahoe, spanning California and Nevada. I also frequent the Destin/30A area and have reduced rates in Florida when my travel schedule aligns, so be sure to inquire if you have flexibility in your timeline! Otherwise, yes I love to travel across the States and internationally.

Can I get the RAW photos?

I do not send RAW photos.

How many images will I get?

Portraits 100+

Elopements 400+

Weddings 600+

When will I get my images?

The turnaround time for portraits is 3 weeks. The turnaround for weddings and elopements is 6 weeks.

Do you offer prints?

Once the online gallery is delivered, you will have access to a digital storefront to order a wide variety of print products.

What do I wear?

Wear what feels like “you”. This is not the time to dress up like someone you aren’t! That being said, neutrals are strongly recommended and pinks/Yellows are discouraged.

Do you offer discounts?

No, my prices are firm.

What happens if you can’t make it to our wedding?

In the event of a true catastrophe on my end, a death in the family, a natural disaster, an injury, etc. I will work with you to source a photographer for the wedding and you will receive a full refund.

Can you Photoshop my ____?

The answer is probably no. I will touch up impermanent things like bruises and scratches, but the intention of these sessions is to showcase you for who you are in this period of life, which is perfect and complete.
