FAQ

What’s the experience like working with you?

High-energy, relationship-centered, and very comfortable! Like hanging out with your favorite third wheel! You can count on me to wipe your sweat, fix your hair, crack jokes to make you laugh, & get to know the real you! That’s how I get your personalities to shine through! I will play fun music, style your session with outfits and locations that get you in your element, & photograph you in a way that gets the natural energy of your relationship to come through! I select poses and prompts that reflect your personality & dynamics of your relationship while making professional photos an absolute BLAST!! “Look at each other and fake laugh”.. yeahhh we don’t do that here!! We get the REAL DEAL!! All I ask is that you're 100% yourselves and down to have a damn good time! I’ll do the rest! 

What’'s required to book you?

For sessions, upon contract signing, I require a retainer payment to reserve your session date! This secures your spot from someone else trying to book it. The retainer amount is then subtracted from the total payment & the remaining balance is due by the day of the session. 

For weddings, I require 30% of the final payment as a retainer upon contract signing to secure your wedding date. From there, we can do a payment plan monthly, quarterly, or whatever you prefer to split up the remaining payment! The final payment due the week before the big day. I know you have lots of vendor payments, so I want to make this process as easy and seamless as possible! Step #1 to book me? Fill out that contact form, friend! 

Will you help me know what to wear?

OF COURSE! On our inquiry call, we will talk about location & outfit options best represent you! My portfolio is very unique & catered to the individuals I'm photographing. I design portraits that are custom to YOU! From our first consult call to the day of our session, my goal is to capture you in your element. My relationship-driven approach and editorial-inspired imagery is designed to capture everyday people in an elevated way.

Do you travel?

HECK YEAH!! What's better than capturing you & your honey in a place that's special to you?! My schedule for PT school limits my availability, but I take on a select amount of travel opportunities each year! I have a travel fee for locations more than 50 miles outside of Chicago to cover my travel & lodging. If you can dream it, we can do it!

Do I have to order all my prints through you?

You DO NOT have to order prints through me! I give all of my clients full printing rights – meaning that you can print your photos anywhere! If you’d like to order professional prints through me, you certainly have that option, but it’s not a requirement in my contracts! When you pay me to take your photos, I don’t believe in holding your images hostage. I give a print & social media release, so you can post and print anywhere that your heart desires!

How many images do you deliver? how soon will I get them?

Depending one what session you book, I always guarantee a minimum number of images that I deliver. However, I always deliver more than that! I don’t put a limit on how many photos that I give you! My philosophy is “If I were you and I’d want that photo of myself, you got it!!”.
