The FAQ
Where are you located?
I am located in Missouri City, Texas, and I am open to traveling to your ideal destination!
What kind of services do you provide?
I offer photographing services to cover a range of needs. I have experience photographing individuals (e.g., portraits, headshot, graduating seniors, and boudoir), couples (e.g., engagements, proposals, and elopements), families (e.g., extended families, children, and maternity), pets, and commercial work for small businesses.
I'm awkward in front of the camera. Can you help me?
Of course! I can provide as many (or as little) posing directions or prompts for you to follow that will translate beautifully to the camera.
Am I provided with every photograph you take?
No, but for good reason. I would not provide duplicates (except when in B&W and color), test shots, or photographs that would dilute the quality of the entire gallery. I take a lot of photographs during sessions to ensure that you are receiving the best images!
Do you require a deposit?
I require a nonrefundable initial payment of 40% the total session price.
Do you have a travel fee?
Yes. I will travel up to 20 miles without any additional fees. After 20 miles of travel, there will be a fee following the IRS standards for business mileage. Currently, as of January 2023, that rate is 65.5 cents per mile. Any parking or location fees will be the client's responsibility.
What are your accepted payment options?
Cash, check, PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle.
When will I receive my photos?
You will receive your photographs within two weeks following our session. If you need your photographs sooner than two weeks, expedited photo delivery can be discussed. Please allow for four to six weeks for elopement and wedding galleries.
How will I receive my photos?
You will receive the photographs through an online gallery. You will be able to download the photographs to your smartphone or computer from the gallery.
How can I use our photographs to promote my business?
I love supporting my fellow small businesses! In order to use our photographs, I will create a Licensing Agreement between us, and you will purchase the licensing for selected images.
Can I purchase the raw (unedited) images?
I do not give RAW images to clients. As a photographer, I take pride in the photographs that I produce and want my work to represent my creative self. If someone else edits our images, it can completely misrepresent my brand to future potential clients viewing those images.
Can I bring my pet to our session?
ABSOLUTELY! We will choose a location that will be safe for your pet.
Do you offer any discounts or payment plans?
Yes and yes! Active military and veterans can receive 10% off their total session price. I occasionally offer specials, mini sessions, contests to win discounts, and giveaways on my social media for everyone to take advantage! Payment plans are optional and must be requested prior to the initial payment.
Do you provide gift certificates so I can give a session to family or a friend?
Yes! A session is the perfect gift to give someone you love! You are able to pay ahead for a session, and you will receive a gift certificate to send to your recipient.
