Photography is Poetry

2-4 weeks for delivery, I will send a link and you will have access to your online gallery for 1 year before I take it down

When you're ready to book, I do require 50% minimum non refundable retainer/deposit to hold the date. I'll also send an invoice and contract. Once completed it is official, we are booked!!!

I know weather change can happen and sometimes it is pretty terrible. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee how the weather will play out but I will try my best to accommodate or reschedule if weather outside is not photographable. The non refundable retainer is going towards total session cost. If you request to reschedule with at least 14 day notice, the retainer can be applied toward a future session within 6 months. Only 1 reschedule will be permitted. If the session is less than 14 days away, a new retainer will need to be made to secure a new date.

*Travel sessions* Your retainer is non-refundable and any changes to date will result in a new retainer needing to be made to secure a new date.

I don't see it as my job. I see it as a time to spend with friends capturing amazing moments. I am here to make you comfortable and that we get the best shots. I am here to also help with location and an outfit guide.

We don't expect kids to "be good" or have our "full attention" during their session. Allow children to be themselves and let them take charge. Try not to tell them no, scold them, or anything forceful during our time together and you will see that your photos will turn out happy and carefree. The real moments are those that are candid, uncontrollable giggles, and wind in your hair. You get to be the cool parents during our session.

I absolutely do NOT give out RAW images. Photography is an art, and part of art is the editing process. Giving out raw images would be like giving out unfinished work.
Let me use a quick metaphor. Imagine you decided to go to a super high end fancy restaurant, one where the head chef is established and well known. You look at the menu, decide to eat there and are ready to order. You request the entire meal to be brought out to your table including the raw steak, uncooked and not prepped. The chef is probably going to deny this request as he carefully crafted his specific dishes. The chef has gathered his ingredients, spent hours learning the proper technique of cooking precisely to satisfaction, and his creative process. The chef wants you to enjoy his quality meal from how he prepares his food, the art of cooking and how he serves the meal on your plate. The fined tuned editing, time spent editing, skin retouching, color correction which are all equivalent to preparing and cooking those raw ingredients. We spend many hours behind the computer fine tuning and editing in a way that reflects our style.

I do not offer printing services directly. If you are interested in prints, I'd be happy to recommend a few trusted labs that will give you beautiful, professional-quality prints using the files that I provide.

Once you book I do provide a detailed style guide to help you prepare for your session. From what to wear to tips on how to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
