FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

• - WHAT’S IT LIKE WORKING WITH ME?

  For the most part, I’m pretty chill, I usually like to just go with the flow.
  Laid back, Down to earth, more of an Ambivert because balance is key to life.
  
  During our sessions, expect to share as much of yourself as you want. Of course, I’ll initiate the poses and slowly steer our sessions…so expect a little fun adventure. Just remember to let every moment happen. In other words, let go, be Intimate, and have fun! I’ll be there to guide you through all of this and help tell your story, Don’t Worry.

• - OKAY! I'm SUPER AWKWARD? Or WHAT IF MY PARTNER AND I ARE AWKWARD AS HECK, WILL THAT BE FINE?

  Trust me it’s very common to be awkward at first that’s where we’ll have our consultation, to make sure you’re not kicking dust but I’ve got the perfect solution: The goal here is to make you feel comfortable, that way you’re not scared of the camera.
  
  When you book me, we’ll be able to do a little warm-up we’ll cover the schedule of the day before we start. I can also be quite the chatter so there will won't be a dull moment. During our session, I want to be able to capture your genuine selves and I find that the best way to draw that out is by being open and honest with you. The way I see it we’re doing a lot more than just taking pictures, we’re capturing memories! So let go and focus on enjoying yourselves.

• - What is your process for booking a photo-session?

  I usually try to keep this as simple as I can. If you have taken a peek at my different packages and are interested in booking with me, please reach out to me via email. If I am available during your big day, we will then set up a consultation so that we can meet in person and discuss our photo-session and the kind of energy you want for your photos. If you decide to move forward with me after the consultation, I will then create an electronic contract and invoice for you to review and sign. This will be the final step in confirming your photo-session reservation with me.

• - DO YOU SHOOT ALONE? WILL YOU HAVE A SECOND SHOOTER?

  I do prefer to shoot alone to keep the photos looking consistent. Personally, it’s easier to work solo on a photo session. With my experience, I’m confident with my decision-making and problem-solving to deliver the best photos to you, my clients. Although I do not stray away from having a second photographer because who would say no to an extra pair of eyes to help.
  
  In other situations where the Wedding is just too large, or if you’re requesting there to be another photographer, I’d be happy to set up a second photographer; In other words, I’m pretty flexible when it comes to working solo or in a group project. Feel free to send me an email or text for more information.

• - WILL THERE BE ANY CONSULTATIONS?

  YES! We’ll be able to meet up over some coffee or tea, not once but twice, or as many times if needed…we can even meet up before the photo session.

  I’ll also be connecting with you quite frequently just to stay updated before and after our sessions.

• - How about PRE-WEDDING CONSULTATIONS?

  Planning your wedding is a major component of your BIG DAY! So YES! I will be in contact as much as I can with you and your wedding planner, so when the big day happens everything will flow smoothly; You don’t have to worry about a thing. Contrary to what many people think, wedding photography is not just a show-up and shoot kind of deal. (ACTUALLY, THIS GOES FOR ALL TYPES OF PHOTOGRAPHY.)
  
  The key to good photos comes from good planning and timing! The time of the day and weather will determine the outcome of your photos on your big day. So we’ll be covering the best time and the style you want.

• - WHEN IS THE TURNOVER TIME AND HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?

  My contract states six weeks. The more accurate answer would be between two to four weeks. All photos will be delivered via a private online gallery where you can download your photos anywhere and anytime. All wedding digitals will be delivered on a custom carved USB and access to their private online gallery.

• - Can I RECEIVE RAW files of my PHOTOS?

  I do not send out RAW photos because it will not highlight the style and work I do, and it will not represent my style as correctly as the colors of RAW photos can shift in different platforms. Plus all my photos are taken at their highest quality so any RAW photos you receive will be in large gigabyte form which most desktops or laptops will not be able to handle. All RAW files also require certain programs to open and edit them.

• - What kind of editing do your Images go through?

  All of the images we edit go through an editing adjustment to achieve the correct white balance, lighting exposure, cropping the image and straightening the image (so it doesn’t look wonky!), and color adjustments to achieve the image style that you see in our work. We also remove any noticeable blemishes on the main subjects (for weddings — you and your spouse, and for other photo sessions — you and the others at the session), but we do not remove natural permanent marks (moles, scars, freckles, etc.) as we want to accurately and honestly portray the beautiful person who you are!

• - Do you require an initial retainer to reserve my photo-session?

  Yes! All of my packages require a 20% non-refundable initial retainer in order to secure your wedding date.

• - How Fast Do you Respond?

  I would usually respond by the end of the day or the following morning. I am still working a 9-5 job, as I am attempting to go full-time into photography and hoping this will help my response time to be faster.

• - What type of payments do you accept?

  I mostly accept e-transfer type payments; like Paypal, Venmo, CahsApp, and Zelle.
  I do accept Cash.
