The FAQs
Can you help us with planning?
Absolutely! We can schedule a consultation call where we’ll discuss wardrobe, location and other ideas. I would highly recommend going to Pinterest or Google to collect ideas you can share with me so I have an idea of the look you’re going for!
How do I reserve a date and time?
It's now easier than ever! Simply go to my booking site using the “book now” button at the bottom of the page, select a package that best fits your needs and submit your non-refundable deposit.
After the deposit is paid, you will receive an invoice within 24 hours of the photoshoot or event for the remaining balance. This will need to be paid in full on, or before, the day of the photoshoot/event. Please be sure to read through the Terms & Conditions on the site. I can’t wait to work with you!
When should I book? How far out do you book?
I recommend booking your shoot at least 1-2 months in advance. Photoshoots can be booked up to 1 year in advance.
What’s your turn around time? Will I receive all of the raw, unedited images?
For portrait and branding sessions, you will receive a link to the unedited, watermarked, low resolution proofs within 4 days of our shoot. Photos not included are typically blurry or duplicates. These should not be downloaded, screenshotted or used in any way (with the exception of the Sol and Bloom Packages).
The turn around time for edited images is typically 10 days from the time you choose your favorites from the proof gallery, so I recommend booking a date at least 3-4 weeks before you plan to release or use the photos to give you time to make your selections. Rush fees are $100-250 depending on the number of photos.
Additional edited photos can be purchased at just $25 per photo.
How do we get our photos?
The photos will be delivered via email with a link to your own beautiful, personal online gallery. You’ll be able to download, order prints, save your favorites and share the link with your friends and family! The photos will be available for 30 days, so be sure to download them asap. Downloading them onto a USB drive or cloud-based storage like Google Photos or DropBox is highly recommended.
What happens if it rains or I need to reschedule?
If the weather gets really bad/it's unsafe for us to shoot/I get sick, we will use your deposit to reschedule your shoot. If you need to reschedule for other reasons, I understand, life happens! I just ask that you let me know at least 1-2 weeks in advance. With less than a week's notice, there is a rescheduling fee of $25.
What is your late policy?
I encourage you to let me know at least an hour prior if you are running behind. I know things happen! If you are beyond 15 minutes late without letting me know an hour in advance, there will be a $25 fee that must be paid prior to the delivery of the photos. The end time for the session will remain the same. If you are more than 30 minutes late, we may need to reschedule.
Do you travel?
Fly me out bestie! I'm happy to travel just about everywhere as long as travel expenses are covered! This may include flights, lodging, gas and additional travel fees. If travel is required, we can discuss more details upon booking!
Do you offer payment arrangements?
Feel free to fill out the contact form and we can discuss our options!
Do you offer video?
I occasionally offer basic video services that would require a consultation to ensure I'm able to assist. If you are looking for more advanced video services, like wedding cinematography, I'm happy to refer you to some of the amazing videographers I know in NC.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes! Feel free to bring a friend or family member with you for support! As long as we are able to conduct the shoot without interruptions and I am able to maintain creative freedom as the photographer, this is totally fine.
