"How do I get started?"
See my process below
one step at a time
1. Capturing Your Vision.
Begin your journey by completing my contact form. Share your vision, ideas, and preferences with me so I can see if we are a good fit. Every detail you provide helps me craft a personalized experience for you.
2. Setting the Stage.
Choose the perfect date and location for your shoot. It could be outdoors, inside your cozy home, or a place that holds special meaning. If you haven't chosen a location yet, no worries! I can help come up with a list of options that can work for the both of us.
3. Securing Your Moment.
To officially reserve your chosen date, make a deposit to lock it in. This step ensures that your special day is exclusively dedicated to you, and I can begin preparing for it. You will receive a contract to a sign and an invoice for the remaining balance. I work with various payment methods!
4. Shoot for the moon.
The day is here! We'll collaborate to create an environment where you feel comfortable, authentic, and free to express yourself. I will focus on candid moments, with a sprinkling of gently guided poses. Being in front of a camera can be super uncomfortable (I still am!), but I will do my best to ease any anxieties. Tip: Have your favorite Spotify playlist ready and play it during our shoot!
5. Unveiling Your Story
Your memories will be transformed into timeless photos (or videos) delivered via a beautiful online gallery. Get ready to relive those cherished moments for a lifetime. You will get to view, download, share, or even order prints directly.
FAQ
Will you have a second shooter with you?
Depending on the project, I might need to hire one. I will inform you of the additional costs of adding one.
We want to include our dog/cat/lizard into the project, is that okay?
Um, yes! Animal friends are always welcome as long as they are generally well-behaved and can tolerate being around strangers.
Do you do elopements?
I would love to. Let's discuss travel costs and logistics!
How long does it take to receive the photos and how will those be delivered?
Weddings ~ within 3-4 months
Events ~ within 1-2 weeks
All other portraits ~ 2-3 weeks
Galleries will be delivered online via Pixieset.
Can you shoot both photo and video at the same time?
I cannot possibly give my fullest attention and do justice to both photo and video if done at the same time. Let me know what your priority is, and I can help find another person to fill the other shoe.
