Frequently Asked Questions


WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU TO BE OUR PHOTOGRAPHER?

With a genuine & authentic experience, I always treat my families like my own family! Throughout the entire process, I am here to assist with unlimited access for you. I love getting to know families and follow your journey throughout your big moments, and I have a unique ability to capture personalities that might be shy behind the camera lens.

WHAT IS YOUR PRICING?

My pricing starts at $75 for headshots, $175 for family and couple sessions, and $1500 for weddings. More information can be found by clicking the investment tab above. Included in my packaging you will get your desired amount of time in front of my camera, pro image editing, an exclusive online proof gallery (password protected if you so choose), and most of all, access to me! I have formal training on photography composition, editing, posing, and more. Have a question? Text me! 901.258.9911.

IS THERE A DISCOUNT FOR SERVICE MEMBERS?

YES!!! I offer a 5% discount for military members, police officers, and firefighters. Just let me know at booking.

DO YOU PROVIDE VIDEO SERVICE?

No, that is not my specialty. However, I do have a preferred vendor list that could help you find a videographer you will love.

DO YOU EDIT YOUR OWN PHOTOS?

Yes, absolutely! Every final picture you receive is personally edited by me to keep a consistent flow and ensure you receive the style you are booking with us for.

DO YOU RECOMMEND LOCATIONS FOR SESSIONS?

I do have a list of locations that provide a great backdrop for your photos! However, new locations are always welcomed if you have a place in mind that is not on the list. I will ask you some questions leading up to your session to better understand the vibe you are going for. I also require a $50 travel fee for anything over 25 miles one-way.

HOW MANY PICTURES WILL I GET WITH MY SESSION?

Each package does come with a set number of pictures. The number of photos is based on time. I promise you at least 30 photos for a 1-hour session. However, there will be additional photos available for purchase in your personal online gallery after the session, or you can buy the whole gallery for an additional fee. Drop me a message, to learn more details!

WHEN CAN WE EXPECT OUR PHOTOS RETURNED TO US?

Your full online gallery will be available within 6 weeks after your session and will be delivered via passgallery.com. I will ask you to choose your preferred photos through an online viewing gallery where you will choose your images, and I will send you an email with a link to your gallery once you select your photos. You can also purchase the entire gallery for an additional fee or additional images for $10 per image.

WHEN CAN WE EXPECT OUR PRINT PRODUCTS?

Prints can be ordered directly from your gallery and delivered to your door. Shipping options vary and you can choose your shipment speed at checkout.

DO YOU OFFER A VARIETY OF CANDID & POSED PICTURES?

Of course! Your final gallery will be filled with a mixture of poses and natural shots. In the session, I will be there to help guide you in order to capture the most authentic photos to who you are as a person/family. I am a lifestyle photographer, which I know sounds vague, but it means that my style focusses on authentic emotion and I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve to pull them out in a comfortable way that feels like date night.

ARE PETS ALLOWED AT THE SESSION?

Yes, I LOVE animals and they are always welcomed! It is important to note that they do not always follow directions well, so don't be surprised if I pull out a whistle to get your beloved pet's attention! Also, leashes are required in public places, and I ask that you bring a helper or a kennel along as well. If you plan to bring a pet, please let me know in advance so I can be prepared for our session.

WHAT CAN WE DO WITH OUR DIGITAL PHOTOS ONCE THEY ARE RETURNED TO US?

You can do with your photos as you wish - they are yours! The only thing I ask is that you do not do any additional editing or add any filters. This ensures that my quality remains consistent.

WHAT SHOULD WE BRING TO THE PHOTOSHOOT?

Plan for the unexpected! It is always a great idea to bring spare clothes and a pair of flats! If there are some items which represent you as a person or family, bring those along as well. For children, I recommend bringing plenty of snacks and water (or for you… no judgement).

CAN YOU HOLD A SESSION TIME FOR US?

All bookings are first come/ first serve. To keep it fair, I cannot hold a date without a deposit (which applies to your total session cost) & signed session contract. To book a session, a 10% non-refundable retainer is required for family or headshot sessions, and a 30% non-refundable retainer is required for weddings. This deposit holds your date and time slot.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SESSION NEEDS TO BE RESCHEDULED OR CANCELLED?

In the case of a cancellation, then the initial retainer is nonrefundable. However, if you need to reschedule the session, please provide at least a 24 notice. In case of bad weather or extenuating circumstances, it is up to the discretion of the photographer to make that call. I can assure you, communication is a priority and will always provide updated information if anything changes.
