-
Does your studio provide videography services?No. However, we are more than happy to recommend a videographer we have worked with.
-
Do I get the copyright/ownership of my photos?The photographer will remain the copyright owner of the photos. But don't worry, with your purchase of any digital package, you as the client are given unlimited permission to use and reproduce the photos. Note, though, that these rights are non-exclusive. This basically means that you're free to use the images however you want, but the photographer may also still use the images.
-
What types of photography do you do?I specialize in Maternity and Portrait photography, with more than a decade and half of experience in every facet of family photography. Whether it's capturing the joy at weddings and events, the precious moments of newborn photography, or the professionalism in business headshots, I enjoy working within a variety of sessions. Feel free to reach out about any of your photography needs, I'm happy to help!
-
Do you instruct for posing? I am sort of awkward/unphotogenic.That's why I'm here! I'm more than happy to assist you in finding the perfect poses and capturing genuine, authentic reactions. If it helps you feel more at ease, I encourage clients to bring along someone who can make them feel comfortable, or even create a playlist of their favorite music for the session.
-
Do you backup or otherwise secure images for protection?If your images are uploaded by us onto our website, they will be accessible there for at least one year. We strongly advise you to download these images for safekeeping, using at least two different backup methods. These methods could include uploading them to your cloud storage, burning them onto a disc, saving them on a jump drive or an external hard drive, or any method you prefer. Yet, our top recommendation is to PRINT your images. Please keep in mind that digital technology can sometimes be unreliable, while physical copies of your images will always be available.
-
When Will I Receive My Images?Typically, most sessions wrap up within a 2-week time frame. However, the duration might vary depending on the kind of session or specific requests from our lovely clients! For example, for a beautiful wedding event, going through 800+ pictures might push the delivery timeframe of final digital images to around 3 or 4 weeks.

-
What’s your cancellation/rescheduling policy?Please take note, you are permitted to reschedule your portrait photography session once without a penalty, in instances of emergencies or unforeseen events. If further rescheduling is needed, a fee of $25 applies. Non-Refundable Deposit: Be aware that 48 hours post payment, any deposit made becomes non-refundable.
-
Why was my request for an appointment denied?There are a number of reasons this may happen, including, but not limited to: - Your request was made on too short of notice to accomplish the needs of your package. For example, a custom/styled session would need a minimum of two weeks or more to design and order items needed for your session. - The package you requested is not sufficiant for the ideas or requests that you have. For instance, an Individual | Maternity session will not be approved, if the notes mention including your entire family--even for "just one or two" photos. - If your photographer feels that your session, scheduled at the chosen time, would cause you or the session before/after you to need to rush or wait. A good example would be if two custom sessions are booked too close together, it would not allow enough time for the photographer to breakdown one set and put up the next. Regardless of the reason, your photographer should reach out and explain her reason for doing so, and offer to change the appointment for you.
