Frequently asked questions

Wedding Specific

  • A second shooter is basically a second photographer that will assist me throughout your day.

    They’re super helpful if you are NOT doing a first look, have a larger bridal party, big family or if you’ll be getting ready in two different places.

    They also provide a different angle than me so you’ll receive more images with different perspectives! Ex. While I capture you walking down the aisle, they can put their full attention on capturing the Groom seeing you for the first time.

    Adding a Second shooter is an additional $50/hr. I reccomend having them for at least 4-6 hours!

  • If your Venue is within 25+ miles of me (Currently in Edgewood, wa), no travel fee is required. If it is over 25+ miles, a small travel fee will be added on for gas.

    If your venue is over 100+ miles, the travel fee will consist of gas + the potential of hotel accommodations for the night, depending on when I leave.

  • Short answer — Yes!

    All of my wedding packages either come with a complimentary session or have the option to add one on for a highly discounted rate

    Like It — 25% off Engagement Session

    Love It — 50% off Engagement Session

    Gotta Have It — Complimentary Engagement Session

  • Absolutely! If you’re interested in this option, feel free to let me know and I’d be more than happy to send over my hourly rate.

  • To keep it simple, my travel fee would include my roundtrip airfare, hotel and a rental car. There is no exact price on my travel fee, since it’s based off the airfare and accommodations around the time of booking at your destination. Although the sooner it is booked, typically the cheaper it’ll be.

    If you’d like a rough estimate on the overall price right away, a quick google search on flights and accommodations around your wedding date will give you a more accurate quote on how much the travel fee might be.

    Typically I like to arrive at your destination the day prior and leave the day after your wedding. To ensure there’s no travel issues, I have enough time to prepare for your big day and will have time to import your files post wedding.

    Let’s say I’m your girl and you’re ready to book with me..we can look at the rough estimate together and will find the best price for me to book. From there, I will handle all the financial details and bill you through your invoice. I try my absolute best to make this an option and will travel wherever you need me!

  • A day after session is a 1 hour bridal session that typically happens the day after your wedding or within that first week being a married couple, where you get dressed back into your wedding attire and we go take more portraits at a cool location!

    Lets say you get married in a church but still want those elopement in the mountain pictures..a day after session is your perfect medium!

    Sometime during a wedding day, we really only get around 30min to an hour to capture bridal images of just the two of you so this is a way to make sure you can still get both while you’ll be able to be fully present on your wedding day and not have to worry about getting all your photos done.

All other questions…

  • If I have your date open - It’s yours! Weddings are booked anywhere from a few months to a year, so don’t wait if you want to snag your spot! I require a down deposit + signed contract to secure your date.

    For any other kind of sessions, please feel free to reach out with your preferred date, If I have it open - Let’s make it happen! For these kind of sessions, weekdays or Sundays are usually best for me.

  • Each one of my packages vary in how many images are delivered. On average, you’ll receive anywhere between 50-100 images per hour. These are your memories and I’m happy to share all the best shots during your wedding day/session!

  • For Sessions — A $50 non-refundable down deposit is required as well as a signed contract to officially lock in your session.

    The remaining payment is due at the latest, one week prior to the session.

    For Weddings — A $1,000 non-refundable down deposit is required as well as a signed contract to officially lock in your date.

    You’ll have two payments during the duration from booking until your wedding date. One payment halfway and the last payment is required at the latest, four weeks prior to your wedding.

  • After handing over my clients their photos via online gallery + USB flash drive (for weddings only).

    I give 3 months to download their full galleries. It is very important that you back up your files once I give them to you!

  • For Sessions — 2 to 3 weeks is my typical turnaround time for all sessions. Although during my busy season between June-September, these turnaround times may vary based off of wedding season.

    For Weddings — 6 to 8 weeks! With sneak peeks sent in the first 72 hours of course! Again during busy season these times may vary but will not take any longer than 10 weeks.

  • My top suggestions for outfit inspiration: Neutrals, textures + layers.

    please reach out if you need any help at all. I’d be happy to send over my “what to wear” guide and pinterest board!

  • As soon as you know you can’t make it to your session, please email/text me and let me know as soon as you can.

    We can definitely work together to reschedule your session!

  • My hope is that working with me is a lot of fun and easy!

    I try to keep all my sessions light with a ton of movement, talking, music and sometimes even alcohol lol

    On wedding days, my goal is to obviously capture your day but I also try my best to be your go-to girl for anything you need. You need a drink? I got you. You need a mint? I got you!

  • Unfortunately If your session is outside of 25+ miles from me, a small fee is required. This is basically just to cover gas.

    Although if you choose a destination that is on my bucket list, I’m willing to give a discount! (View bucket list here)

  • I would like to describe my working style as laid back, your go-to girl, while also being direct and able to make you feel comfortable and most of all confident!

    I strive for the perfect mix of giving direction, movement prompts while also getting those in between candid moments along the way!

    My editing style I would describe as true to color, enhanced, w/ warmth!
