Question 1

Do you have a studio?

Accepted Answer

I do not have a studio. All my sessions are outside or in your home.

Question 2

Where will we go for an outdoor shoot?

Accepted Answer

There are so many options! What suits you? Really—that’s the most important part of choosing a location. We’ll want to pick something that matches your aesthetic and, ideally, somewhere that is special to you. I have a few locations that I love, but I’ll work with you to decide on just the right spot.

Question 3

Do you give out RAWS (unedited) files?

Accepted Answer

Simply put, you don’t ask a professional photographer to give you their RAW photos because that would be giving you only half of an unfinished work of art. Photographers spend so many hours fine tuning their photos to be edited in a way that reflects their style and gives their clients incredible images they’ll remember forever.

Question 4

Do you travel?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Traveling will always have my heart. Travel fees are required for any session 30 miles outside of Raphine, Virginia.

Question 5

What does "Hand Edited" mean?

Accepted Answer

I take the time to perfect each and every image. The click of my camera is only the beginning of my process. I enjoy perfecting your images. I take the time to treat each and every photograph like a canvas and perfect it with my paint brush.

Question 6

Do we have to order prints from you?

Accepted Answer

No, all my galleries include files that are ready to print. You do not have to order directly from me, but I do have a few suggestions on the best printing labs. Ordering directly from me is the only way I can guarantee high quality lifetime prints.

Question 7

What happens if the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

What I wouldn’t give to be able to flip a switch on bad weather! Weather happens, but we have options. You may choose to instead do an indoor session in your home. Otherwise, we can brave some weather situations (heavy rain is out of question, though). If the weather forecast looks like it may be unbearable the morning of your session, I’ll give you a call and we’ll work out together.

Question 8

How long do you store files for?

Accepted Answer

I try to store files indefinitely, but do not guarantee the storage of images once the final gallery is delivered. I have multiple hard drives and multiple backups. I do ask that when you download your gallery, you back up your files on the off chance something happens to mine. Once the final gallery is delivered and you have downloaded it, I remove it from my site.

Question 9

Can you get my gallery back?

Accepted Answer

If you need to get back into it at any time, that is not a problem at all. I can get you back into your gallery for $60.
