Do you have any questions for me? If you do I hope this page will help clear up any questions you might have before booking with me. If you still have questions that weren't answered here, be sure to add those to your inquiry form! Looking forward to answering whatever questions you have!

  • Super easy! Just submit an inquiry form and I’ll be in contact within 2 business days to talk further! Once we are ready to book, I require a 50% non-refundable deposit and a contract signed. When all of that is complete you are officially in my books!!

  • I got my first camera in 2016 and I haven't stopped since. Being a photographer and having the opportunity to capture special moments for people. More importantly than that, capturing the beauty of God’s creation just makes this the best job in the world!!

  • Ultimately what you wear is up to and what vibe you are going for! If you still need help my best recommendation is anything with neutral colors. Neutral colors tend to work best with my artistic style.

  • I go through all of the photos from the session and carefully pick the best ones! After that, I carefully edit the collection to enhance the beauty that is already there! :) I love mixing both color and black&white into the full gallery you will receive!

  • No, I don’t unfortunately! Editing is a big part of my artistic style and the highly curated service that I offer! I make sure to give you nothing but the very best photos when the full gallery is delivered!

  • I like to keep you and the photos as natural as possible! Your natural beauty is what we are capturing after all, no?! :) I will edit out some small imperfections like acne, bruises, and tiny details. Outside of that, I want you and the photos to be as natural as possible!

  • Every shoot has a different turnaround time due to volume and my workload at the time. I usually do my best to send a gallery out around 2-3 weeks after portrait sessions, and 4-6 weeks after weddings.

  • I use a gallery service called PicTime. All of the final photos will be uploaded for you to download. It also includes a built-in print store for you to print any photo from the session. It’s honestly such a better alternative to printing at Walmart or Walgreens, etc!

  • I don't like to set the number of photos you will receive in the gallery! Each session is different in time spent together and I don’t want to halt our creative process or under deliver if we have an incredible session. Let’s get creative and make the best photos possible for you!

  • Weather is always unpredictable! It’s just the way life is sometimes. I love to get creative in any weather scenario. And sometimes the weather can add a beautiful uniqueness to the photos. However, sometimes it’s just better to sit inside and watch Netflix! If this happens, we will just reschedule for a better time!

  • I really don’t like to reschedule if it’s not necessary, but life can be crazy and unexpected things can happen, which I totally understand! If we have to reschedule more than once, however, with the exception of repeated terrible weather, I do charge a 15% re-booking fee. Your time is important, and so is mine, so let’s respect each other and make this thing happen! :)

  • The funny thing about travel is it’s always a different price no matter where you go or when you decide to go. If the shoot is outside of the Chicago downtown area, then I charge whatever travel & accommodation costs are needed to get me to you and back home. Let’s talk more about these details when we hop on the phone! :)
