WHAT'S YOUR STYLE OF PHOTOGRAPHY?

We love creating a mix of bright, colorful and joyful images, and emotive, film inspired black and whites! Most of your session will be carefully directed in order to create images that look natural, while still shooting in a way that feels flattering.
 
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

We provide an in depth welcome packet when you book that answers all the questions you could possibly have about styling your session! 
In a nutshell - don't be afraid to dress up! Formal clothes photograph beautifully! Solids draw the focus to your face and how you feel about each other, while patterns can be playful, but more distracting.
The camera loves light, soft colors like cream, blush, dusty blue, mint, sage and grey!
Dresses - especially full length maxis and gowns - are most flattering on the female body. We find that 3/4 length sleeves flatter every arm, and incorporating fabrics like lace, chiffon or tulle create beautiful movement in images!
Men (and their minis) never look more dapper than in a fitted suit, button up and tie!

WHY DON’T YOU RELEASE ALL OF THE PHOTOS YOU TAKE?

We make it a professional practice to not give away any raw or unedited images taken during our sessions and events. Ultimately, we do it as a service for our clients to save you time! We're professional curators, and we review thousands upon thousands of images every year, select the best, most flattering portraits that meet a professional standard, and make sure our clients get all the best ones without the hassle of choosing between very minute differences. We cull through so many sessions and events every year that we're very efficient at what we do, and are happy to (humbly) report that we can do it in a fraction of the time most people can!
We show you only the best images, so it's easy to pick the perfect pieces for your custom collections

DO YOU EDIT YOUR PHOTOS?
 
Yes! We professionally retouch all of our sessions! Authenticity is huge to us as we want to capture images that are true to you, so our retouching is light for most sessions. We're happy to get retouch temporary features, like acne, bruises, scratches etc. We don't perform extensive retouching that warps or alters the way our clients look. It's our philosophy that if it's permanent, or authentic to the moment, we don't alter it! Additional retouching is available upon request. 

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?

You'll come in to view your images for the first time about 2 weeks after your session! You'll receive your digital purchases within a week of completing payment. If you're in studio for your reveal, we can give you your thumb drive that night! Delivery on tangible prints and products varies a bit depending on what exactly you order, but generally we get to deliver your products 4-6 weeks after your reveal!

IS STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY AVAILABLE?

Yes! We have a natural light studio - head shots, beauty, maternity, boudoir and branding are all available in studio!

WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT?

We know that a downpour or terrible wind is unavoidable (and does NOT make for a nice experience), so if we need to reschedule due to weather, we'll get you back on the books ASAP.
If you need to reschedule, we appreciate as much notice as possible. We require no less than 72 hours, unless in an absolute emergency.
While our retainers are non-refundable, we will do everything we can to accommodate a reschedule request. Be aware that our weekends can book up far in advance! We cannot guarantee that we can add an additional session time.

WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT?

Our retainers are non-refundable, as we have reserved that date and time in our calendars, and turned down all other potential business. Should we be unable to accommodate a reschedule, a partial refund may be available if we're able to secure a replacement session or event for the same day.

HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?

Beauty, branding, and children's portrait clients will be presented with an average of 20-40 finished portraits to make selections from.
Boudoir and family sessions will be presented with 40-60 images to choose from.
 You get to custom design your own collection at your reveal, so the quantity purchased is entirely up to you!

WHY DO WE HAVE TO PRINT THROUGH YOU?

I have studied photography and fine art for over a decade and specialize in handing my clients a finished product! We only sell heirloom items, meaning everything you bring home will be archival quality and will outlive all of us! You're not just buying paper and ink, you're purchasing the artwork we create together, through hours of pre planning, coaching, custom session design, help styling, wall art design, and many hours of hand retouching! Our clients actually love that we're able to guide them through picking the best images for their albums and wall art, and designing the best spaces in their homes! The in person reveal is one of the funnest moments for our clients, and is one of our favorite parts of the portrait process!
