What should I wear?
Wear what makes you comfortable and best represents you! You're more than welcomed to email or message me with outfit ideas to get my input/advice. In general, I typically recommend going for more neutral tones in the winter such as whites, cream, gray, beige, etc. For fall, I love colors like olive greens, reds, oranges, and more. The spring and summer provides much more room for outfit choices; pastels like yellow and pink or I always love good ole' white! Again, this is entirely up to you, but I'm here if you need help at any time!
What is the average turn around time?
This depends on what session you've booked with me, but in most cases, I try to deliver the galleries back within 4-6 weeks. Bigger events or projects may take longer, but I work to keep the rates the same or similar. All photos will be delivered through high-resolution galleries online, unless stated otherwise.
What happens if it rains?
If on the day of the shoot, the weather is undesirable, we can reschedule, free of charge! If however, you cancel or reschedule for other reasons, please know that you will NOT receive your down payment back. Inital down payments CAN be used towards new scheduled date.
Where should I go? Are there travel fees?
I'll send you a list of locations depending on what city we're in! You'll notice some repeats throughout my page, but it's because they're fan favorites! I'll also provide example photos for certain locations if you'd like or are more interested to see how it is. Anywhere 25 miles beyond Cleveland will have a travel fee added. I love traveling though, so all you out of state or out of city clients are still welcomed to book! ***as of September 2023, I am now available for travel shoots***
Do you offer more services outside of what is listed here?
Yes! I'm a photographer that will work to tailor any and all of your needs. Some of these things include college Greek life, group organizations, and anything beyond! Just shoot me a message with what you need and we'll sort it out from there. This also applies to those who still want a photoshoot, but may have stricter budgets.
Will you send us the raw/unedited images?
Short answer: No. As a photographer and creator, I take high pride in the work and content I create. Sending unedited images does not accurately reflect my work and style as everybody edits in different ways. I'm under the impression that you booked me due to my editing style and work ethic, so allowing clients to edit on their own is something I am uncomfortable with. That said, if there is a particular style you want me to edit, we can further discuss it when and if you message!
Should I prepare poses beforehand?
You don't need to do this, but I won't stop you from researching and bringing up ideas you want to try during our time! If you fall short, awkward, or unsure of what to do, don't worry! After years and years of being a photographer, I'll be able to help out whenever you need it. I want you to be comfortable and have fun! Over the course of our session, I'll make sure you feel amazing while also getting the best angles!
How does payment work? What do you accept?
After choosing a date for your photoshoot, 25% of the total will be due at that time to confirm your spot. This fee is non-fundable. The rest is due the day of the shoot! I take cash, checks, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay and Zelle (only Paypal, Venmo, Apple Pay & Zelle are available for down payment).
