FAQs
-
What is your pricing?
My prices start at $200 and will vary depending on concept, location, deliverables, and associated costs. All sessions require a non-refundable retainer of 25% of the total cost, as well as a signed contract, to secure the date. Please fill out the inquiry form on my site to get an exact quote!
-
Do you travel?
Yes! I love to travel and will be happy to go anywhere for your photoshoot idea.
I charge for mileage anything outside of an hour from Detroit, and overnight stays will add additional travel fees and lodging/per diem costs.
-
How soon will I receive my photos?
For portrait sessions and events, my usual turnaround time is 1.5-2 weeks. Weddings have a turnaround time of 4-6 weeks. These estimates may vary depending on the season and my workload. I do not offer sneak peeks unless previously discusssed. If you would like your images by a certain date, please let me know and we can talk about an expedited turnaround!
-
How will I receive my images?
I deliver final galleries via Pixieset, an online gallery service that is password-protected and allows you to order prints. Please note that I do not deliver RAW (unedited) image files.
-
How many images will I receive?
This varies per shoot, but for a standard portrait session you will receive between 20 and 40 images. Events and weddings will typically receive about 50 images per hour of coverage. If you have specific deliverable requirements, please be sure to discuss with me during our consultation.
-
Can you make me look younger/thinner/curvier?
During my editing process, I remove anything that is not normally there (bruises, pimples, etc.) but I do not do any body modifications and I do not outsource for this. You are beautiful just as you are!
-
Do you offer any deals or discounts?
I offer discounted engagement sessions to those who book me for their wedding.
If you are looking for sessions at lower prices, please follow me on Instagram, where I periodically advertise mini sessions and sales. Otherwise, I do not offer discounts.
-
how far in advance should I book with you?
For weddings and weekend events, I recommend securing a date with me as soon as you know you’d like to work together! This is because these time slots are valuable and tend to fill up fast (I often have sessions booked over a year in advance).
For weekday sessions, 3-4 weeks notice will maximize your chances of securing a specific date/time. But that is not to say that I can’t do a shoot upon shorter notice. Just reach out!
-
Okay, I want to work together! What are the next steps?
Please fill out the inquiry form under the “Contact Me” tab above. I’ll reach out to you within 24-48 hours with a quote and whether or not I can accommodate your request. If I can, we’ll set up a brief consultation via phone to go over details.
After that, I’ll send over our contract, you’ll pay the non-refundable retainer, and we’ll get to work bringing your vision to life!
