Frequently Asked Questions

I am still actively taking inquiries and bookings for 2023!

Let’s chat!

I hear this so often haha! And the answer is yes, I will give you light direction and occasional prompts to help you get in the swing of things or if I feel like you need a little guidance. I always tell my couples to try to stay in tune and be present with each other and the rest will just come naturally. Don’t worry about this too much, I got you!

Lucky for you, I have an awesome What To Wear guide clients that need some extra pointers in this area. And I’m also super happy to help in any way I can: I’ve made Pinterest boards for my clients in the past that are looking for more specific pieces, which can be just the inspiration you need. The most important thing is that you are comfortable, you can move around, get dirty if need be, and that you feel like YOU!

I will perform basic retouches on your images and take it upon myself to decide what in an image needs my extra attention. Things like bruises, acne, a burn/scar, bandaids, or anything that wouldn’t normally be there, I typically take out. But I like to promote body positivity and overall REALNESS. I want you to look like you and love the way you look because the image represents your love and affection for one another at this place in time! After all, that’s what this is all about right?

I can promise around 60 edited images per hour of coverage, but more often than not you’ll recieve way more than that! That being said, my policy is not to deliver any RAW or unedited files to ensure my images and brand are fully represented how they were intended to be. I see my work as an artform and treat it as such.

I love this question! I actually have a really amazing print shop attached to each online gallery with tons of printing options from albums, prints, thank you cards, save the dates, frames -- everything! It means a lot to me for my clients to support my shop, but you’re welcome to order from any online print service or company of your choice. I can’t guarantee the same quality when you go through other companies, but you won’t be disappointed with what you receive from me!

My turnaround time for weddings and elopements is between 10-12 weeks, BUT you will receive a few sneak peeks within 4 weeks! And for smaller sessions like engagements or a couples sessions it’s around 8-10 weeks. At this time I don’t outsource any of my photo editing processes to maintain authenticity and overall style preference, which means turnaround times can vary, especially during wedding season (Spring and Fall). No matter what though, I promise to keep you updated if things are taking longer than the norm.

I totally understand and I can be flexible, but I'll most likely have had to turnaway other potential clients for your secured date, therefore it can affect my ability to bring in income when there’s multiple reschedules happening. For that reason, I will allow one reschedule for a planned session, but if we have to move it a second time, I’ll have to require that a new retainer fee be put down to secure a new date.

As for weddings - lord forbid! If we are just moving the date and that date just so happens to still be available on my calendar, your deposit will be applied to your new date (as long as it’s within 6 months of the original date). If you need to cancel your wedding altogether, I’ll just need you to sign a cancellation contract, but the deposit remains non-refundable.

I always recommend embracing whatever the weather throws at us because it can result in some really unique and beautiful imagery! But if it ends up being completely miserable or could possibly damage my gear, then we can absolutely reschedule or postpone, if need be!

However, if you live in Texas, you know that the weather is completely crazy-town down here and can change in the blink of an eye! I usually won’t reschedule or postpone a Texas session until the morning of, when I have a more accurate forecast to take into account.

I’m not a wedding planner by any means, but I am married and have been doing this for years now so I know a thing or two about a thing or two! I also have a special list of wedding vendors and experts I have personally worked closely with that I give to all my wedding clients looking for planners, videographers, florists, rentals, etc.

I do prefer to be involved with the timeline making process to ensure there’s plenty of time to get all the images you want and that lighting for the day of the shoot is kept as a priority because of how heavily it can impact how your images turn out!

When you’re ready to secure your session, wedding, or elopement date, all I require is a signed contract, any travel expenses, and a 50% retainer!

I am currently based in the funky city of Austin, TX! But I LOVE to travel - it’s a major source of inspo for me. I specialize in shooting in the southern region of the US, but I’ll go wherever your hearts take me! 

I can get down with a lot of different locations, but my favorites have to be outside in some kind of nature, major plus if there’s a scenic overlook of some kind, but I also dig the cool downtown/old building vibes too. I have a list of places I like to share with my clients looking for location suggestions!

I do not have a flat rate traveling fee, but I do ask that you cover transportation, lodging, and airfare if I’m traveling outside of Austin. Those expenses are exactly as you would find them on google or any other travel site. If travel is needed, I create an invoice for you with a breakdown of all the current travel expenses, so there’s no surprises. When you guys are ready to move forward, I require the travel expenses and deposit up front, so I can reserve everything at its current rate (and minimize any last-minute surprises).

I prefer to book my own hotel or Airbnb and flight. Also, if you’d rather not pay for a car rental, you could appoint someone in your family or bridal party to pick me up from the airport, and I can just tag along with you for the duration of my stay! Overall, I’m pretty flexible, but I’ll let you know if something will/won’t work for me based on my needs and comfort level.

As much as I’d like to believe we are “out of the Corona woods,” the reality is that we are still working in unknown territory and anything can happen at this point! I’m happy to assist you in finding an alternative date and help rethink your original plans for your shoot to make things as stress-free and easy as possible. I will send you open calendar dates and update you on my current availability so we can find a suitable alternative that works for the both of us!

If you need to reschedule for a date that I do not have availability, I’ll do my very best to find a replacement photographer for you that has a similar photography approach and shooting style. They will step in and shoot the wedding as my replacement, but I will still be your main point of communication, coordination, and I’ll still be the one editing all your photos!

There are no additional fees to reschedule due to COVID-19.

Currently I space out shoots and weddings so that there’s plenty of down time in between in case I or anyone I have worked with start showing symptoms. In that scenario, you’ll be notified and I’ll shoot over some open dates on my calendar to reschedule. 

At this point the CDC has made masks voluntary if you’re vaccinated (which I am), but if you would prefer that I wear one while I’m with you, I have no problem with that!
