I’m not a model/am not regularly in front of the camera, will you help me pose?
absolutely! we can even come up with a moodboard before the shoot and plan out poses you might want to try.

should I make a moodboard, bring inspo, or pinterest board?
I’m never opposed to this and might even make one myself to help with poses, angles, and looks!

how far in advance should I book?
for portrait shoots of any kind: minimum 2 weeks if possible.sometimes life happens and we need things last minute, and I will always do my best to accommodate and find a shoot day/time that works for both of us!

for events, shows, elopements, & weddings: as soon as possible! if possible, at minimum of 2 weeks, but preferably more in advance.

do I need to put down a deposit?
yes!

for portrait sessions of any kind:
a non-refundable retainer of 25% is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due day of the shoot.

for events & weddings: a non-refundable retainer of 40% is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due day of the event, unless contract states net 30 (for companies)

can I add more time or deliverables to my session/event?
of course! it is an additional cost, but we can discuss custom photo packages per your needs.

do you have locations of hair/make-up artists recommendations?
yes! I am happy to send you a list of locations, peerspaces, and HMUA suggestions when booking.

should I arrive hair/make-up ready?
preferably, yes. if you want any of these things done within the time you have me booked for, it will still count toward your allotted time with me.
of course touch ups throughout the shoot are always fine & I will have leniency with that.

do I own the full rights to my photos?
you may use your photos however you like for non-transactional/commercial purposes.
they are yours to post, use for promotional items (tour posters, wedding invites, headshots, etc.), portfolios, event advertisements of any kinds.

if you plan to make merch or intend to sell any images for any purpose, licensing fees or a rights buy out will be required.

do you archive images if I lose them?
images will be kept up to 2 months post shoot (from the day you receive all final images), this means you have that time to purchase more selects, and download all final images. After 2 months, the folder will be cleared from the dropbox + hard drive, as space will need to be made available for other clients.
