Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the booking process like?
We like to keep things simple and personal. First, we’ll jump on a quick discovery call to go over your photography needs, ideas, and budget. Once everything is aligned, a deposit is required to lock in your date.
2. Is the deposit refundable?
All deposits are non-refundable, as they reserve your session and secure our time. However, if something comes up, we’re happy to reschedule your shoot for a future date (subject to availability).
3. Can I reschedule my session?
Absolutely! Life happens—we totally get it. Just give us as much notice as possible, and we’ll work together to find a new date that works for both of us.
4. Can you help me choose a location?
Yes! We love location scouting. You’re welcome to suggest a location, or we can help you pick the perfect spot. We have a curated list of amazing places—everything from city vibes to dreamy nature backdrops.
5. Will you help with ideas or inspiration for the shoot?
Totally! We’ll send you inspo and mood boards leading up to your shoot to make sure we’re aligned on the vibe. We love collaborating with you to bring your vision to life.
6. What happens on the day of the shoot?
We’ll arrive early to scout the location, check lighting, and make any final adjustments. Once you arrive, we’ll jump right in and guide you through the session to make you feel comfortable and confident.
7. How long does it take to receive my photos?
Within 24–48 hours after your session, we’ll upload all unedited photos to a private drive for you to review. You’ll then select 30 images you'd like us to edit.
Once we receive your selection, we’ll professionally edit and retouch them. Final edits are delivered on a USB drive via priority mail within 3–5 business days.
8. Can I get more than 30 edits?
Yes! Additional edits can be purchased for a small fee. Just let us know how many extra photos you’d like touched up, and we’ll give you a custom quote.
9. How will I receive my final photos?
Your selected and edited photos will be delivered on a USB drive, shipped via USPS Priority Mail for safe and fast delivery.
10. How long do you keep my photos?
We store your original and edited images on our drive for up to 90 days after your session. After that, we may delete the files to make room for future shoots.
11. What happens if I lose my USB?
No worries—we’ve got you. If your USB is lost or damaged, we can recover your files from our backup (within 1 year of your session) for a $100 fee, which covers the time it takes to source and repackage your images.
12. Do you travel?
Yes! We love capturing memories wherever they happen. Travel fees may apply depending on location—let us know where you're thinking and we’ll provide a custom quote.
13. Do you offer outfit changes or styling tips?
We do! We’re happy to recommend outfits, color palettes, or even help plan your look based on the shoot location. You can also bring multiple outfits if you’d like variety.
14. What types of shoots do you offer?
We specialize in portraits, events, surprise proposals, girls’ trips, graduation, maternity, and engagement photography. If you have something else in mind, we’re all ears—let’s make it happen!
