What sessions do you offer?
I can do it all! Engagements, Wedding, Family, Portrait, Lifestyle, Events! Let me know what you are interested in and we will set up a session that meets your needs!
If this isn't a traditional posed session, what kind of session is it?
I have found that I don't enjoy taking posed family pictures, where everyone is standing in a line or group smiling for the camera. I find these photos a bit stiff and emotionless. I am happy to get a few of those "Hang above the Mantle" type but photos, but overall, I want this session to be something you look forward to instead of dread! We’ll plan something fun with you, and whoever you love, to capture those little moments that usually just pass us by: your little girl running her fingers through your wind-blown hair, the genuine laugh of your son as he gets thrown 80 feet in the air, the whispers and kisses between you and your person. These are the real moments that should be captured and remembered.
What session is right for me?
I love to create an atmosphere where your real personalities and relationships come out! We can go on an adventure together: a hike in the mountains or a trip to the carnival. Or maybe home is where you feel the most comfortable and loved. Great! We’ll make cookies or jump on your trampoline or play basketball in your front yard. I love to have fun and help create moments that facilitate connection and emotion and then capture that on camera. You get to relax and have fun and I’ll take care of the rest.
What is required to book?
Booking requires a 30% deposit of the fee for your photo session.
What happens after you book?
You will receive a fun welcome guide from me with some questions for you to answer so that I can customize your shoot specific to you and your people! It will also include great info on locations and my guide on what to wear to your session so everything is set and ready on the day of your session!
What do you offer for corporate and commercial photography?
If the photos you need are of a corporate event or company party, then just tell me where and when to show up and if there are particular people or moments you’d like emphasized. We’ll also discuss your particular photo needs: website or brochure images, in-house uses, etc. I will customize the shoot to work for your needs, your company vibe and your corporate image!
How long does it take to receive photos?
Editing a wedding takes 4 weeks, everything else will take 2 weeks. (I love sending sneak peaks as I edit)
Can I have unedited photos?
I have an eye for choosing the best of the best images and those are the ones I edit. I always want what I deliver to illustrate my best work, so I only release edited photos. But not to worry, the ones I toss are ones with blinking eyes or overly blurry in a non-artistic way (I do love me some blurry photos).
What if I want additional edits?
It’s important to me that you absolutely love your photos! Usually the only questions I get about additional edits have to do with black and white vs color photos. There are photos that I shoot for the specific purpose of editing them in black and white. Black and white are my favorite, but I know they may not be everyone’s favorite. Black and white images will always be additional images that are similar to something you also have in color. If you would still like to have additional edits made (of any kind), you can choose 5 images that you would like to have edited. There will be an extra charge of $5/image after that.
How are photos delivered?
You will receive a gorgeous online gallery with a gallery style layout, which you will have access to for 10 years! You can download photos right from the gallery, share to social media, and send the link to anyone else you would like to have see them.
I also provide a coupon code from my favorite printing lab, Pro Digital Photos, for you to have 50 free prints. Just because I am that awesome and Pro Digital is the best!
What should we wear?
Once you have paid your deposit, I will send you an awesome “Welcome Guide” that I created to help guide your outfit choices. This guide has lots of helpful tips and tricks and covers all info to know before our session.
What location should we choose?
I want you to have a location where you are comfortable and in love with what’s around you!! If you have a location in mind, let’s go there!! If you are having a hard time picking, I have so many gorgeous places depending on what you are looking for! Fields, mountains, urban, water - you tell me the look and feel you want for your images and I will be able to show you some beautiful options!
Do you charge traveling fees?
I do not charge a traveling fee for local sessions, which is within a 50 mile radius of Utah County. If you are looking for something outside of that, travel rates may vary, whether I need to fly or drive etc. Let me know where you are thinking and I can send you a custom quote!
