FAQs
What should we wear to our portrait session?
I have a resource just for this! Every booking comes with a beautiful, full-color Style Guide that prepares each family member for what to wear. Not just that, but how to color coordinate, what props and aides to brings, tips for getting ready and more! I'll be happy to email you a copy if you send me an email!
Can I extend the session on the day of?
More than likely, yes. The only time I wouldn't be able to extend is if I have back-to-back shoots. It's rare, but it can happen. I will communicate with you ahead of time if extensions are not possible. If I do have conflicting schedules, I'll still do my best to accommodate in the case of any unexpected delays. If you book an event in the evening it's unlikely I'll have any qualms about extending my stay, I'm a bit of a night owl anyways. As far as the rate is concerned it will be determined based off a pro-rated hourly rate equal to the hourly rate of the session booked, rounded to the nearest 15-minute increment.
What kind of gear do you use?
For proposals I use a long lens 70-200mm for the proposal moment itself so as to be as discreet as possible. This allows for the most space and privacy during the moment itself.
I'll usually carry a wider lens for the portraits that come afterwards.
What does your editing process entail?
I use Lightroom to edit my photos to color balance, correct exposure, adjust textures, remove blemishes, fix stray hairs, and crop. These are all included in my initial proposed rate in each client’s contract. But, if a photograph requires an extensive edit, it may take several hours of my time and may cost anywhere from $20 - $50 per photograph depending on the changes.
How do we receive our photos?
You will receive your photos via a digital gallery link through Pixieset. The link is shareable and allows downloads to your computer, phones, or other devices.
Digital galleries are hosted on a server which means they'll be up for a short time of about a few months before I rotate new projects in. I encourage you to download them as soon as you get them, but don't worry if you forget. I'll keep back ups in "the cloud" just in case.
