Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you based?
I live in Reno, NV, but I frequently travel to Sacramento, CA and the Bay Area, where I’m originally from!
ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL?
Yes, and yes please! Travel fees may vary and/or increase by mileage, but will be outlined in your contract.
HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION?
Submit an inquiry on the Contact page, and I’ll reach out to you to get some more information from you, discuss what you’re looking for, and we’ll go from there! If you’re ready to book at that point, I’ll send you a contract that will outline what you’ll be receiving, when you’ll receive your photos, payment methods, and so on.
DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?
Yes, I require 50% of your session’s fee in order to hold your spot, with the remaining amount due at the time of your session.
So i booked a shoot, now what?
If you have any questions about the session you’ve already booked, shoot me an email. I will try to answer all of them promptly! Not a big email-guy? We can always set up a call to go over specifics and what you’re hoping to get out of your session!
After the shoot, how long will I wait to get my pictures?
This one has a two-part answer— I always try to get 10-15 pictures back to clients (depending on the type of shoot) within a few days to a week. Because I do this as more of a hobby rather than my full-time job, I ask clients to refer to their contract for gallery delivery (usually 30-45 days).
How Will I receive my pictures?
I use Pixieset, and have been using it for about six years. Pixieset is a really simple online gallery-delivery platform that is incredibly user-friendly, and walks you through the navigation of your gallery the first time you click on your link. Because it is on a different website, others can’t go and search for my Pixieset page or your gallery unless they’ve received the link to my Pixieset before. Additionally, I usually password protect each gallery with something specific to you that’s easy to remember (totally optional!). Once you’ve received the link to your gallery with your password, you can download individual pictures to your mobile device, or download the entire gallery onto a computer with the click of a button! Want to share with your parents or friends? You can also send them the same link that I sent you (be sure to include the password if you have one!) and they can browse and download pictures, should you choose to share. Once I deliver your pictures to you, they are yours forever—meaning, you own the rights to the pictures just as much as I do!
