Frequently Asked Questions

.

How long is a portrait session? How many images will I get? How much?

The answer to all of those questions depends on the session package you choose. My packages, what they include, how long they are, and how much they are is outlined in the 'Invesment' Tab.

I have a large quantity of different sessions to fit your specific needs. Length of sessions range from 30 min to 2 hours. Number of images range from 7 images to the entire gallery for packages that include digitals. Session Fee Prices range from $175 to $350.

Where will the session be?

I am an on-location & natural light photographer so I shoot in parks, fields, gardens, & other public locations. I have a list of location options, which have varying styles, that we can discuss when booking your session or you can request specific locations.

I also have access to a private outdoor location upon request. It is perfect for outdoor boudoir as well as most normal sessions.
Session booked at Edelen Farms will get a discount of $25 off your session!

What if there is bad weather on the day of our shoot?

If there is in-climate weather on the day of the shoot we will re-schedule. I will watch the weather on the days leading up to the shoot. If 1-3 hours before the shoot it is still rainy or the ground at the shoot location is muddy, I will make the call and let you know we need to re-schedule.

What should we wear?

This will depend on the type of shoot.

​Seniors: Wear what you feel comfortable in, wear what makes you, YOU! Bring items related to your hobbies, sports, and future life endeavors.

Maternity: Again, wear what you are comfortable in and wear something that accentuates your bump! Bring items like a sonogram & baby shoes.

Couples & Family: Wear outfits that are cohesive and timeless. Make sure nobody clashes with someone else. Remember you don't all have to match but you all have to go together, color-wise.

If you wish to receive more info or help on what to wear to your shoot let me know as you are booking and I will send over some pamphlets and examples to help inspire your perfect photo ready look.

Will I get to pick my images?

Yes! No matter what package you choose, you will be the one who decides which images are printed or go on your disk.

Within 48 hours after the shoot you will receive an email invite to a private online gallery. In this gallery you will be able to choose the images you wish for me to edit, at this time you can choose to purchase more images than were included in your package if desired. Once you have picked your images I will edit those chosen and update your gallery with the final images.

How long will it take to get my images?

The shorter the session the shorter the wait time. On average it will be between 1-2 weeks for portrait sessions and 4-6 weeks for weddings.

Do I get the copyright to these images?

No, the copyright to these images remains with me. You do however, receive the right to reproduce the images from your session to print & hang in your home or to use on social media, any time you want and as often as you want. You may not use the images for commercial use without my permission.

Can I get the unedited/raw images from my session?

The raw, unedited files are not available for viewing or purchase.
