ABOUT YOUR SESSION
-
Yes, all sessions include the high-resolution digital image files at no extra cost. The number of images you will receive is dependent upon your choice of Session Package. The delivered images are processed in the style as seen in my portfolio.
-
Yes. Please visit Wedding Collections to learn more about Bundled Wedding Packages, which include an engagement session.
-
You and I will collaborate discreetly to review details such as the location of the proposal, suggested posing, and working with the light. I’ll also share suggestions on how to secretly best prepare your partner for the big moment!
-
Outdoor sessions are typically scheduled for either morning or late afternoon an hour or two before sunset, as these times provide for the best natural light for outdoor photography. Accommodations for other times can also be arranged to meet your schedule. If you prefer to shoot in an indoor location, such as your home, sessions are best scheduled for when your home’s interior is at its brightest. Bookings can be made for both weekdays and weekends.
-
Absolutely! Feel free to pick a location you enjoy or has meaning to you. I’m also happy to suggest a location. Many outdoor public locations are free of charge, but if your chosen location requires a permit or reservation to shoot on the property, we’ll work together to make the necessary arrangements. Admission and permit fees would be in addition to the package price.
-
As we near our session date, I’ll be checking in on the weather and will reach out to you if the forecast requires we reschedule. Though rain would require rescheduling, overcast is just fine and provides for wonderful, diffuse lighting!
-
All of my sessions are very relaxed and designed to make you feel comfortable and at ease. Combining unobtrusive camerawork with friendly portraiture, my promise is to always be a motivating and reassuring energy as we work together. Laughing and being yourself are all encouraged! And as a natural light photographer, we’ll enjoy exploring our chosen location to capture a variety of images: gently posed & candid, fun & lively, stationary and moving.
-
Prior to the shoot, a consultation on wardrobe, color, and texture is always welcome. Keep in mind, you’ll feel most at home during the session by being true to you and wearing what best suits your personality. Wardrobe changes are allowed, though full clothing changes are best reserved for the longer sixty minute session. You’re invited to bring along props, personal mementos, wedding announcements, and save the dates!
-
Each image you receive will have been edited for color balance, contrast, and tone equal to the quality standard of the images shared on my website. Additional cosmetic editing, such as blemish removal, will be performed by request on any image ordered for an album or as a print through my lab.
-
Once edited, your images will be uploaded to an online gallery, accessible from any computer or mobile device for 60 days. From the gallery, you’ll be able to download your images in high-resolution and share the images with family and friends. Prints can also be ordered directly from the gallery.
-
Archival prints, canvas art, seasonal cards, and albums can be ordered through your Personalized Online Gallery. Prints are produced by a lab that caters to professional photographers. The prints you receive are color accurate, more resistant to fading, deliver excellent flesh reproduction, detail sharpness, and brilliant image quality.
