What are your rates?
Wedding collections begin at $4,750 for full day (8 hrs) coverage. Most portrait sessions start at $500 for 1 hour of coverage, depending on the type of shoot. For more info on pricing, availabaility & what I offer, please fill out the contact form & I’ll be glad to send you all the info!
How far in advance should we book?
It differs each season and each year, but typically, I book regular shoots a 2-3+ months in advance. For peak seasons like spring & fall/holiday, plan to book up to 3-4+ months in advance. For weddings, I typically book 12+ months in advance. It never hurts to reach out early, especially for peak seasons. Even if I’m not booking for your specific time frame just yet, I can add you to my contact list for when I do!
how do payment schedules work?
For weddings, I require a $1,000 non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to hold your date, and the remaining is due 2 weeks prior to your wedding day. For sessions, I require a $100 non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to hold your date, and the remainder due the day of your shoot.
how many images are included?
I don’t put a set number on how many images you will receive, because I don’t want you to miss out on any memories! For most 8+ hr. wedding days, I deliver 1,000-1,500+ images. For most other shoots, I deliver 150-200+ images. I don’t put a limit on what I deliver because every shoot/wedding is different, and I want you to have more photos than you know what to do with :-)
how will we receive our photos?
All photos are delivered in high-resolution on a personalized online gallery. It’s a beautiful gallery site that you will have access to for an entire year, but I strongly suggest downloading your images immediately after receiving your online gallery and backing up your images. You can share that online gallery with family and friends, too, as well as order prints, if you’d like!
Do we have to buy prints from you?
Not at all! I’ll be happy to give you a print release if you want to print photos on your own. However, you are welcome and encouraged to order prints from me if you’d like. All of my images and products are ordered from a professional print lab with spot on color matching and archival print paper that will stand the test of time (...and the pricing won't break your bank!)
How long 'til I get my photos?!
I get as giddy as you do about seeing your finished session and I pride myself on a quick turnaround, so I try to get your images to you as soon as possible. For regular sessions, my turn-around is 1-2 weeks. For weddings, 6-8 weeks. If we’re in peak season, it may be the latter, but I try to get your photos to you as quickly as I possibly can while making sure they’re perfect!
What about fun locations for our shoot?
If there's a specific place you want to do your shoot, great! I love photographing people in their element, so family land, a beautiful park, barns, in your favorite city, your yard, your favorite coffee shop or any other ideas you might have are welcomed. However, most people have no idea of a specific place – and that's fine, too! Let me know what type of style & look you are going for, and I can help you come up with the perfect spot.
