FAQ
Do you travel?
I am based in Grand Rapids, MI, but yes, I do! I charge $0.70 per mile for both directions for sessions and weddings that are more than 61 miles outside of Grand Rapids. For weddings more than 100 miles away, there will be an additional fee of $200 per night to cover lodging. For sessions or weddings outside of Michigan, please contact me for a custom quote based on travel and accommodation needs.
How will I receive my photos?
You will receive an online gallery of high-resolution images. You can download the images from your gallery to your computer or phone. You can also share your gallery with friends and family using a sharable link.
Will I receive the RAW or unedited images from my session?
I do not deliver RAW or unedited images. I deliver the best edited photos from your session. I do not limit the number of edited photos I deliver.
What should I wear for my session?
I want you to be comfortable and look and feel like yourself! That being said, neutrals with a pop of color tend to photograph best with my editing style. After booking, you will receive a wardrobe guide to help you through this process. If you have more specific questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I would love to help you look and feel your best for our session.
Will you photoshop us?
I believe in celebrating authenticity, which is why the only things I retouch are minor distractions such as blemishes. I won’t alter your body; my goal is to capture you as your true self. I want your images to reflect who you really are, showcasing your natural beauty and personality.
What does a photo session with you look like?
In our session, we’ll create an atmosphere full of fun and spontaneity. Imagine us cranking up some music while we capture stunning shots that reflect your unique personality. We’ll share laughs and let your true self shine through. Whether it’s a casual outdoor setting or a cozy indoor vibe, I’ll guide you every step of the way, making sure you feel comfortable and relaxed.
When can I expect to receive my photos?
I know how challenging it can be to wait for your engagement and wedding photos. To help with that, you’ll receive a sneak peek of your engagement and wedding photos within one week. Complete wedding galleries will be delivered within eight to twelve weeks.
Please note that there are no sneak peeks for lifestyle galleries; these will be delivered within three to four weeks.
Trust me, I’m just as excited as you are to share your photos, and I’ll send you an email as soon as your gallery is ready!
Will you pose us for our pictures?
I love capturing candid moments that truly reflect your personality. To help achieve this, I’ll provide prompts or suggest actions that allow you to be yourselves in the photos. For those who prefer a bit more guidance, I’m happy to offer specific poses and direction to ensure you feel comfortable and confident. My goal is to create images that look and feel uniquely like you.
How do you save or backup my photos?
I take the safety of your photos seriously. All of my images are backed up to multiple hard drives, and I always shoot on multiple SD cards, so you can trust that your memories will be securely stored with me. I never erase my hard drives, so I’ll always have your photos safely stored. That said, I recommend backing up your images on your end as well—whether that’s on a hard drive, CD, USB, or other storage options. It’s always best to have multiple copies to ensure your photos are protected!
How can I purchase albums, prints, etc.?
You can easily purchase prints, albums, canvases, and other items directly from my print shop through your gallery, and they will be shipped right to your home.
