The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Typically I like to stay in the Sarasota, Florida area. I do still travel back to my home state of Ohio from time to time.
How long have you been doing this?
I have been creating stories through images since 2012.
How many photos do we get?
This depends on the session type and how long a photo shoot is scheduled for. Weddings typically average around 700 photos given an 8 hour day.
How do we get our photos?
I believe your photos deserve to be shown off! Every session includes access to a beautiful online gallery for easy digital downloads. Because I also want you to have tangible memories to hold onto, we will walk through a variety of stunning print packages together to find the perfect way to display your favorites in your home.
Do you retouch photos?
All my photos are delivered in an online digital gallery and have been retouched minimally.
Whats your turn around time?
This depends on the session type. Typically 1 week for photo sessions and for a Wedding it is around the 4 to 6 week mark.
How do we book you?
All sessions, events, and weddings require a signed contract. A small deposit it required to hold your date.
Can you help us with planning?
YES!! Of course that is what I am here for, not just to capture your images but to tell your story and planning that is part of what I offer. From wedding timelines, to ideas on shoots to what to wear.
How far out do you book?
Generally for weddings a year out, however I have been booked for a wedding a week before. As a general rule at least 24 hours prior to a photo session depending on availability.
What should we do for an engagement session?
Have fun! Let's talk about what you two like to do, where you met, fun ideas you have seen. I have done from smoke bombs to paint fights to a quiet little section in a restaraunt or bar. This is all about you and celebrating the moment so lets talk and make a fun plan.
What should we wear?
First and foremost, whatever makes you feel comfortable and you love. I am always up for helping decide between outfits or coming up with options. These are all things we can cover in our pre session chat.
