frequently asked questions

01: When will I receive my photos?

01: When will I receive my photos?

My usual turnaround for a complete album is 2 weeks. If it's going to take a bit longer, I will be sure to tell you ahead of time! I appreciate your patience as I work a full time job on top of photography.

02: How will i receive my photos?

02: How will i receive my photos?

Your photos will be delivered via a digital album where you can then download and share the photos!

03: how many photos will i receive?

03: how many photos will i receive?

I’ve always said, “As many good photos you give me, I’ll give back to you.” Is this proper English? Probably not. But you hopefully get the point. That’s why my packages always have a minimum number of photos instead of a maximum. You're basically guaranteed more photos than are listed on each of my packages (taking into account that there will always be blinking photos, out of focus photos, and plenty of repeats in which I will always keep the best version of the photo).

04: How far in advance should I book you?

04: How far in advance should I book you?

1-2 months in advance is preferred, but 3 months in advance will usually guarantee you a session. My rule of thumb is always the earlier the better! But, I will often have last minute availability—always ask!

05: What if i need to reschedule?

05: What if i need to reschedule?

No worries! Life happens. I require 48-hour notice to avoid a rescheduling fee. Please let me know as soon as possible and I will work with you to find a different time that works for both of us. In the case of cancelation, there is a non-refundable retainer that is paid upfront when you first book. 

06: What if it rains?

06: What if it rains?

The weather is unpredictable, and I’m ready to as flexible as possible. I will always do my best to actively communicate with you about bad weather and work to find a better time that works! I will notify you the day before our session if we need to reschedule. Note that I keep two days a week open for rescheduling purposes for this very reason.

07: WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY SESSION?

07: WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY SESSION?

Whatever makes you feel best! Based on your location and what kind of session you book, it may vary. I am more than happy to work with you to determine what outfit(s) you should be wearing the day of our session!

08: Where are you based? Do you travel?

08: Where are you based? Do you travel?

I’m based in Minneapolis, MN but would love to travel anywhere to photograph you! The first 40 miles are free—beyond that, there is an added travel fee (feel free to ask me about it). 

09: when do you shoot?

09: when do you shoot?

I am a golden hour girl through and through! Depending on your session, I will try to schedule it two hours before sunset so we can get some beautiful golden hour photos. That being said, I am also more than happy to shoot during the morning to get that earlier golden hour glow! I promise, the photos will still have the same rich, warm vibe at both times of the day.

10: Do we get to choose the location?

10: Do we get to choose the location?

Absolutely! And no worries if you don't have any locations in mind. I will work with you based on what you're looking for so we can find the perfect location(s) for your session.

11: I want to book you! Now what?

10: I want to book you! Now what?

YAY! If you haven’t already submitted a contact form, do that. Once that’s sent to me, I will get back to you within 24-48 hours to discuss your session. Once all the details of your photoshoot are sorter out, I’ll send you a final proposal, have you sign a contact, pay the retainer, and then we will wait for the date of your booking!
