Our timeframes are generous and we can wrap earlier. If we are shooting in a busy area such as New York City, it could take us longer because there may be a lot of people around, changing lighting and weather conditions, etc. For portraits, we recommend about 30 minutes per outfit or background. Be mindful of how long it takes to change into each outfit as well.

The purpose of the deposit is to lock in your date + time. If you cancel at the last minute, I most likely would have been able to book someone else during that period. I do not lock anything down in my calendar until the deposit has been paid, making your desired time slot up for grabs. Nothing is booked until the deposit has been paid.

The remainder of your session + travel fee is due immediately following your shoot before we both depart. No images will be delivered until the final payment is made. The way my booking system is set up is in two increments: deposit + final payment.

(This applies to the Lehigh Valley only) Depending exactly where you want your photographs done, travel fees will vary. $60 is pretty typical. I charge a travel fee so I can get to and from our photoshoot with my camera gear + your photographs safe and sound.

If the weather is crazy/act of god/I am sick/etc, we will put your deposit toward a re-schedule. However, if you simply don’t show up to the session, the deposit will not be refunded. If you have booked a portrait, couple, or blogger session [this does not include elopements, weddings, or commercial work] and need to reschedule your session, your deposit can be put toward a re-schedule as long as I am notified within 14 days of your session. I get it— life happens. However, if you need to cancel and do not want to re-schedule, your deposit is not refunded.

Yes, bring a friend, parent, spouse! Whatever will make you feel more comfortable, go for it!

You will receive the edited images within 7 Business days of your session. You will receive all of the files via Pixieset, a Private Online Gallery Link. You can then download, share the link with friends + family, and post online! Download links do expire after 30 days, so be sure to download your images asap! Make sure to save + backup your images.

I clean out my client files every 3 months and cannot guarantee that I will backup the images for you, so be sure to download the images and create your own backups. I do not store the raw files for more than 2 months.

No. Part of my job is making the image selects and choosing the most flattering photographs. The images I do not deliver are either repeats, blurry, or out of focus, shots of you blinking or mid-sentence speaking. I have no reason to withhold any images. I am on your side.

No.

No, I do not retouch or alter my client’s appearance. If this is something you want, there is an easy solution and that would be to outsource my final images to an editor of my choice. 

If you have read my FAQ thoroughly and done all you can to prepare yourself for your photoshoot, including picking a location you love, an outfit you feel confident in, then this is the best way to ensure you will be happy with the final result. If I have delivered what I promised to you, photography services of your package of choice, and you are not happy with the final outcome there is nothing I can do outside of performing my professional photography services.

Please make it clear to me in your initial inquiry if this is the case and let me know the reason. The primary way I market my photography services (and how you found me!) is the internet and I rely on sharing my photography to bring in customers. Therefore, I do have a fee if this is something you want to be waived, please inquire. 

No. Any of the files I deliver to you could be shared online.
