FAQ

 

Why is a deposit required?

The deposit secures your session date and time exclusively for you. This ensures I set aside that time and do not book another client in your place. If a session is canceled at the last minute, it prevents that time from being reserved for someone else who may have wanted to book.

*note: I do not write anything down in my calendar until the deposit has been paid, making your desired time slot up fr grabs. Nothing is booked util the deposit has been paid.*

Booking Your Session

To ensure your session is reserved exclusively for you, a 50% non-refundable retainer is required at the time of booking. Your date and time will be secured once the retainer is received. Payments can be made through my online booking system, PayPal, or Cash App for your convenience.

Do you travel for photoshoots?

Yes, I am available to travel for photoshoots. Whether it’s out of state or international, I work with clients to bring their vision to life wherever they are. Travel expenses are covered additionally and will be discussed before booking is finalized.

How long are your photo session

My timeframes are very generous I usually wrap earlier because I am able to shoot quickly. I suggest blocking out 2 hours for your shoot, but dont be surprised if we wrap half an hour early. Timeframe include travel time between locations

How will I receive my images?

You will receive your own personal online gallery for viewing and downloading your images. For brand or commercial projects, all files are delivered through WeTransfer or Filemail, which are simple and free email services. From there, you can download your photos, share them with friends and family, post them online, or send them to print. Please note that download links expire after a few days, so be sure to save your images right away.Make sure to save + backup you images. I clean out my client files ever few months and cannot guarantee that I will backup the images for you.

NEED PHOTOS ASAP

My standard turnaround time is 5–10 days, ensuring every image is carefully edited and delivered at the highest quality. For clients who need their content sooner, I offer an expedited delivery service. With this option, your images can be prioritized and delivered within 2 days for an additional $60

Can I use the photos for social media and marketing materials?

Yes, all delivered photos include usage rights for personal, social media, and marketing purposes. If you need extended licensing for large-scale campaigns or commercial distribution, we can discuss options to make sure you are fully covered.


What is your process for working with brands?

When working with brands, I start by learning about your vision, goals, and target audience. From there, I develop a creative direction that aligns with your identity and delivers visuals that stand out. Throughout the process, I keep collaboration at the center, from concept development and mood boards to the shoot itself and final delivery. My goal is to create bold, energetic imagery that not only tells your story but also strengthens your brand presence.

Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?

Travel expenses are not included in my standard packages and are covered additionally. Costs may vary depending on location and will be discussed and confirmed before your booking is finalized.

What happens if I need to cancel or the weather is bad?

If unexpected situations come up, such as severe weather or illness, your deposit can be applied toward a rescheduled session or refunded. However, if you need to cancel for personal reasons or do not show up to the session, the deposit is non-refundable.
