FAQ
This is my first time having my photos taken and I'm nervous!
The most important aspect to shooting is making everyone feel comfortable. This is a collaboration between the two of us. We will review the photos often to make sure we like what we're seeing and fix what we don't! Communication is key, so don't be afraid to let me know what you're thinking! My shooting style leans toward more of a relaxed, candid style, but I will be there to help guide your poses to ensure we get the perfect shot.
What if I don't know where I want to shoot?
Over the years, I've scouted many locations and have created a long list of the best spots. Let me know if you're looking for more of a woodsy environment, or a warm, beachy look, an urban but rustic look, or anything else you can think of! I'm happy to provide my insight.
When will I get the photos?
After we shoot, I will begin the editing process, which takes approximately 2-3 days. If I have no other shoots queued to be edited before yours, it may be a quicker turn around time!
As for videos, normally editing takes 1-2 weeks, but depending on the type of video the editing process may take longer.
I will deliver the flash drive with all of your edited photos to you, free of charge! In some circumstances, I may mail the flash drive to you as well.
What time do we shoot?
I prefer shooting with natural lighting during golden hour. The sun is at the perfect angle where we get that beautiful golden backlight and the angle eliminates any harsh shadows that would appear when the sun is high. We normally would meet to shoot two hours before sunset, in the summer this is usually around 6:00 P.M., during winter this can be around 4:00/5:00 P.M. Studio portraits are usually shot during the day, considering we do not need the sun because we will use artificial lighting.
Where are you based?
I am based in Rochester, NY. But I shoot all around the Greater Rochester Area.
I have a crazy, weird shoot idea, can you do it?
Are you kidding me, absolutely! I have crazy concepts I want to do ALL the time, but never have models who are up for it! Tell me your idea, I'm already excited for it!
What kind of editing/retouching do you do?
Almost anything you can think of! Retouching includes blemish/texture work, brightening eyes, correcting skin discoloration, anything that you dislike, I can fix.
The more intense editing includes body modifications, fixing outfit malfunctions, and even switching around faces from one portrait to another (usually happens in big groups where one person likes one photo but the other likes another one- just have to merge them!). Whatever you need, I can help.
Is there a downpayment for weddings?
Yes, 25% deposit to book the day. (deposit is refundable if canceled 90 days prior to the event date).
What should I bring to the shoot?
All you need is you! If you have any props from home that you'd like to include, definitely bring them. If we are shooting somewhere wet/muddy, maybe bring a change of shoes and a towel. A blanket may be a good idea as well, considering most of the places we shoot have no places to do an outfit change, so you'll have to resort to changing inside the car. Definitely bring water! Shooting in the sun or even on a cloudy day can wear you out, stay hydrated!
How do I pay?
I accept cash, check, or venmo! Whatever works best for you.
