Do you have backup photographers "Just in case"?

For weddings: Yes! I have a trusted list of amazing photographers who would pinch-hit for us just as readily as we would for them. Community over competition, friends! For sessions? I have a flexible schedule that allow us to reschedule if need be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you help us with posing?

Fun fact: everyone is awkward and weird when trying to be POSED in front of the camera. There is literally nothing LESS CASUAL than the prom pose, right!? No thank you! Instead, I'll give you lots of directions and prompts to get natural, intimate and fun photos of you guys ... let's keep it real, mmk?

Where are you located?

I'm currently based out of the Burlington/Lake Geneva area in Wisconsin until late spring 2023 but I am constantly traveling around the country, especially to the Palm Springs (California) and Lake Havasu (Arizona) areas. 

Do you give out unedited/raw photos or video footage?

Tell me, would you go out on a fancy date night and ask the chef for a raw slab of prime rib to season and grill to perfection? Nope. I mean, maybe YOU would, but most people wouldn't because the whole point of hiring a professional is to get what THEY have to offer. So simply put: no. My editing and delivery process is part of the experience of working with me.

Are digital files included? Printing rights?

I want you guys to print your images, make albums and give them as gifts. With weddings and sessions, you will receive all of the finished digital images with printing rights and you'll also receive an online gallery where you can download your images, purchase prints and share. I also do ordering sessions!

How many pictures can we expect?

For a typical session, roughly 50-75 images per hour of coverage. I don't limit or cap the number of photos you'll receive, because each session and wedding is entirely unique. More details, more people, more time? More photos. Simple as that!

Do you reschedule if weather is bad?

Generally speaking - yes. Cold kids = grumpy kids and honestly ... grumpy adults, too. If it's raining, we'll reschedule if it's at all possible. I will always be in constant contact with you to decide if we need to reschedule (and no, before you ask - there's no rescheduling fees for things outside of our control like weather).

Will you photoshop me?

Okay first of all, knock it off. No. You don't NEED photoshopped! I am a firm believer in authenticity and as a professional photographer, knowing how to guide people into flattering poses in any kind of lighting situation. That said, if you wake up and OMG have a huge pimple on your forehead - I got you, Boo. But no, I can't make you look 10 years younger, I won't nip and tuck, and I refuse to make you look like a crazy Snapchat filter. You're beautiful the way you are!
