The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Yes! I'm absolutely willing to travel beyond the Pacific Northwest—both within the United States and internationally. Whether it's a destination wedding, senior portraits in a stunning location, or a family shoot abroad, I'm happy to come to you to capture your moments wherever they happen.
How long have you been doing this?
I've been photographing professionally for 18 years. During that time, I've run my own photography business and also worked as a second shooter for multiple wedding photographers, gaining valuable experience and a well-rounded perspective on capturing special moments.
How many photos do we get?
The number of photos you receive depends on the type and length of your session. Here's a general breakdown:
Senior Session: 100–150 fully edited images
Family Session: Around 100 fully edited images
Weddings: Typically 2,000–3,000 fully edited images, depending on the coverage and details of the day
Each session is unique, and I always aim to deliver a gallery that captures every meaningful moment.
How do we get our photos?
All final images are delivered through a private gallery. You’ll receive a link to easily view, download, and share your photos in high resolution, you also have the option to order high-quality prints, wall art, and custom photo albums to preserve your memories beautifully.
Do you retouch photos?
Yes, I fully edit all images, including light blemish removal and color correction, to ensure you look your best. However, I do not alter body shape or make major changes—I believe in keeping your photos as natural and true to you as possible.
Whats your turn around time?
I provide a sneak peek within 24 hours of your session so you can relive a few highlights right away!
Portrait sessions (seniors, families, etc.): 2–3 weeks
Weddings: 4–6 weeks
I take great care in editing each photo to ensure your final gallery is worth the wait.
How do we book you?
Booking is easy! You can reserve your session through my online booking tool, or simply send an email directly from the contact page. I’ll follow up with all the details to get everything scheduled and answer any questions you may have.
Can you help us with planning?
Yes, I’d love to help with planning! Collaborating beforehand not only ensures a smooth session, but it also gives me a chance to get to know you better—which helps me capture more genuine, meaningful moments. Whether it’s choosing a location, outfit tips, or building a wedding timeline, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
How far out do you book?
If I have availability, we can book a session as soon as the next day! For weddings, I’m happy to book 1–2 years in advance with a small retainer to secure your date. The sooner you reach out, the better chance we have of locking in your preferred time.
What should we do for an engagement session?
Start by choosing a location you love or thinking about a look or theme that reflects your style as a couple. Creating a Pinterest board can be a great way to gather inspiration! But don’t worry if you’re not sure where to start—I’m happy to help you brainstorm ideas and plan a session that feels authentic and fun for you both.
What should we wear?
Keep it simple, comfortable, and flattering. I recommend wearing solid colors in pastels or earthy tones, as they photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you. Avoid busy patterns, and opt for well-chosen accessories to add personality and polish without overwhelming the image.
