Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How will my photos be delivered?

I deliver all final images on a private online gallery from which you'll be able to download and share your images. You'll get an email when your photos are ready!

Where are you based and do you travel?

I'm based in Houston and yes I love to travel! I may require a travel fee, depending on where your shoot takes place.

When will we get our photos?

Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum 2 weeks (sometimes less depending on the season). You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and also order prints!

How many pictures will we receive?

Each package comes with a different set of final image deliverables. I always like to overshoot and condense later so fear not, I will catch everything! You can always add more final images for an additional fee. For events, I typically deliver 70 - 100 photos per hour of shooting depending on the size of the event.

Are deposits refundable?

I always ask for a 30% deposit at the time of booking. This is to ensure that your session is locked in so I can begin preparations on my end to make sure you get the best experience!

Initial deposits ARE refundable, with exceptions:

- You cancel your appointment within 72 hours before the shoot
- You don't show to your appointment
- You are more than 30 minutes late to your appointment and request to re-schedule

In those cases, I would keep the deposit.

How long have you been doing this?

I'm proud to say I've been shooting professionally since 2016. I've learnt and grown so much along the way, and I hope to keep doing this for many more years!

Do you instruct for posing? I get awkward in front of the camera

Absolutely! My goal is to make you as comfortable as possible so that I can capture the most authentic photos of you. If you feel awkward, I can help you relax and give you pointers to pose more naturally.

How far in advance should I book my session?

The sooner, the better! More time to prepare means better communication and ensures you get the results you're looking for. As my schedule fills up, there is less guarantee that I'll be able to accommodate your preferred time. So book early to make sure you get your slot!

How long will our session take?

It depends on the package you choose: portrait sessions usually range from 30 minutes to 2 hours, while events and weddings may be longer. No matter the duration, you'll get the time and attention that you deserve, but I won't drag the process out longer than necessary. You'll get exactly what you sign up for!

What are your cancellation and re-scheduling policies?

I understand that life happens: things go wrong, people get sick, cars break down, unexpected things come up.

If you need to re-schedule, I ask that you let me know as soon as possible - last minute re-scheduling requests (within 72 hours of the shoot) will incur a $35 fee.

If you need to cancel for any reason, you should also let me know as early as possible. This will insure you receive a refund for your deposit. If you cancel within 72 hours of the appointment, you will lose your initial deposit.

Can I bring my cat/dog/cute pet to my session?

Yes! I love working with animals, and you should definitely include your furry friend in your family photos!

I only ask that you let me know at the time of booking so I can prepare adequately!

Do you have formal training?

Yes, I have a BFA in photography from Pratt Institute in NYC, where I mainly focused in fine art photography. After college, I worked at a fashion and e-commerce studio in New York before I moved to Houston. I then worked at a studio that focused more on wedding and portrait photography, and found it was great fit because of the emotional connection both my clients and I have to the images. I am fulfilled by this work, I can't imagine doing anything else.
