faqs
Where are you based out of?
I am located in Orange Beach, Alabama. Anything 2+ hours away would be considered a travel shoot or wedding. (Aside from my hometown of Livingston, Alabama.)
Do you photograph destination weddings or events?
Heck yes!! I am more than happy to create a custom collection to suit your
travel needs and would LOVE to travel anywhere and everywhere to capture your love!
What are your travel fees?
To give you the most affordable option, I ask that we set up a time to chat before I set an exact price for your day. Everyone is different, and I want to be sure we can come up with the most affordable option for your big day! To get an idea, I typically require a transportation fee (flight ticket or gas money), 1-2 nights accommodation depending on the location (totally down to stay with a friend or family member!), and, of course, the cost of your wedding package.
How do we reserve our photo session date?
A deposit & signed contract is required in order to get your wedding day on the calendar. The remainder of your balance is due two weeks prior to your wedding. For standard photo sessions, simply reserve your dates with me by paying a $50 deposit. The balance will be due 1 week prior to your session.
How many photographers will be at our session?
Most of my collections come with a single photographer, but you are more
than welcome to add a second shooter for an additional cost.
Will we get the print release to our photos after our session?
Yes! Upon receiving your images, you will also get a full print release.
Do I have to order prints through you?
The difference in quality is huge when it comes to ordering through a
professional lab, so I always love to help with prints! I would be happy to
advise you on the best places to order your prints.
Will my photos be posted publicly on your site or social media?
While I will not be posting all of your photos publicly, a collection of
images will be used on our website and social media pages.
Do you give out RAW/unedited images?
Nope. If you trust me enough to capture some of the most important moments of your life, I trust that you've looked through my work and love my editing style. I put my personal touch on each and every photo and do my best to represent who you are in my editing style.
Do you Photoshop your clients?
Nope. I want to capture the real you. The windblown hair, bare feet, and candid laughs. My goal is to photograph the real, raw moments that you'll remember every time you look back on your photos. However, if you have non-permanent acne or even a bruise, I'm happy to remove that!
What is your turnaround time?
I know how hard it can be to wait, so I promise to get your photos to you ASAP! For weddings, I guarantee you'll have your images back in 6 weeks. (Although typically, you will have them by week 3 or 4 because I’ll be itching for you to see them!) For other sessions, I guarantee you'll have your images back within 2-3 weeks. Sneak peeks are usually delivered within 1 week.
What should we wear to our session?
As soon as you book with me, I'll send over a link to a Pinterest board that will give suggestions on what to wear with your location! (For example, if we are shooting on the beach, solid and neutral colors look the best. Typically whites or nudes!) I'm also willing to send over different online store suggestions to help find the perfect look for you!
What happens if there's rain or bad weather?
Depending on what the forecast is, I'll probably still say " Let's still go for it!" Alabama is notorious for 5-minute downpours and then bright golden sunshine. However, if it's absolutely pouring, then of course I'm happy to reschedule!
