Frequently Asked Questions

How many photos should I expect?!
30-40 high resolution photos from a portrait session
If there are additional photos from your session and you are interested in more then the 30-40 photos you received. I can edit more and set up and online album and you can purchase them for an additional fee ($20 set up fee $8 per each additional digital image or $50 for 15 digital images).
Wedding image amounts are determined in your package and clearly stated on your contract

What if I love a photo you sent but I want it edited a little different? (i.e. you sent it to me in black and white but I would love to have it in color too)
1 free edit adjustment and $5 per each additional photo

Can I see all of the unedited photos?
No. Half of my art is in the editing and it is very important to me that you see a finished product. It is a strictly enforced policy and I appreciate your understanding!!

Do you shoot in color or black and white? Or both?
I shoot all in color and can convert them to black and white, color splash (black and white with some color), or sepia. Expect a variety! If you prefer one style more then another please let me know before the shoot so I can edit accordingly! If there are certain techniques used on my website you like or dislike please be sure to let me know!

I’m also interested in antique or retro pictures if possible, can you do that?
Sure can!

What’s your primary style?
Totally depends on the person I am shooting, I pride myself on providing both traditional and artistic photos for a variety but I will work within your preference!  I really like to have to mixture of posed and some candid pictures to present to my clients.

Do you primarily shoot alone or do you have assistants that take pictures also?  Will you be the actual photographer for my session or wedding ?
I am always the primary photographer. Second shooters are available at additional cost depending on date and location of wedding or event.

Could I provide a small list of pictures that I would love to have included?
ABSOLUTELY I love seeing ideas from clients. Send away! I can not ever guarantee a certain shot but it helps me to see what you are looking at and I can try to recreate the feel.

What happens if there is inclement weather?
