FAQ'S

I live in west texas and YES! I am always, ALWAYS down to travel for an amazing love story!           *discounts applied for bucket list destinations. 

For weddings and elopements the turnaround time is 4-8 weeks. For other sessions it's 1-3 weeks, depending on how busy it is at the time.

No, All your photos (fully edited) are included in the price. They will be delivered to you digitally via an online gallery. You do, however, have the option to purchase prints, canvases and albums right from your gallery, if you choose to do so. 

If you mean family and friends then yes i do! for other large group sessions, please fill out my contact form and i can see if i'm the best fit for what you're wanting.

HOW MANY PHOTOS DO I GET?

I never have a set amount of images that I deliver per session or wedding, but I guarantee at least 70 photos per hour of shooting. 

DO YOU HELP WITH POSING?

Yes I do, to an extent. I won't tell you to stand there "like this" and look directly at the camera, or tell you exactly where to place your hands. I want you to feel comfortable and that means I focus more on prompting rather than posing. So I'll say things like "cling to each other like you're never gonna let go" or "hold hands and walk towards me" etc. Now, if I see an awkward hand placement or unflattering angle, of course I will address it or encourage you to move this way or that slightly. I want you to LOVE your photos, but I also focus more on the feeling than on the "perfect pose." trust me.

CAN WE PURCHASE RAW (UNEDITED) FILES?

No. If you hired me then you hired me for a specific look, and editing is what gets the photos to come alive. Trust me, you don't even want the RAWs. 

DO YOU PHOTOSHOP BODIES AT ALL?

No, I do not. I will edit out blemishes that are not always there, acne, scratches, bruises, etc. but your body is who you are and I keep it the way it is because you are already perfect.

DO YOU ALLOW PETS?

YES! 1,000% YES!! Bring them all!

we don't know what to wear, can you help with that?

YES! AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN BOOKED (SIGNED the CONTRACT AND PAID THE RETAINER) I WILL SEND OVER SOME CLIENT GUIDES ON WHAT TO EXPECT FOR YOUR SESSION, AS WELL AS AN OUTFIT GUIDE! on top of that, i am happy to answer any questions you may have for me.

WHAT IS YOUR SHOOTING STYLE?

MY SHOOTING STYLE IS VERY NATURAL. I CAPTURE REAL EMOTIONS AND PERSONALITIES. SO IF YOU'RE LOUD AND ADVENTUROUS, I WILL CAPTURE THAT, AND IF YOU'RE MORE QUIET OR LAID BACK THEN THAT IS WHAT YOU'LL SEE. AND IF YOU'RE LIKE ME AND DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE, THEN WE'LL CAPTURE A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING.

what happens if there's bad weather?

i personally love rainy and windy days. i have learned to embrace what nature throws my way. my equipment can handle decent rain and snow. so unless you are wanting to reschedule, we will most likely just move forward with the session as long as it doesn't put anyone at risk.
