FAQ
Do you pose us?
Yes! I’m with you every step of the way. I guide you through a mix of natural prompts and simple poses to help you feel comfortable and confident. I also keep your vision in mind — you hired me for a reason, and I want to capture the poses and ideas you love just as much as the ones I recommend. My goal is to capture everything that makes your session uniquely yours: the feelings, the emotions, the quiet moments, the chaos, and all the tiny details in between. That’s why I love photographing real life as it unfolds. But just so you know — I’m honest. If something looks a little awkward, I’ll tell you! I want you to have the best experience possible and photos you’re proud to hang on your wall. I’ll do everything I can to make that happen.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I’m based in Summersville, WV, just 20 minutes north of New River Gorge National Park and Summersville Lake State Park. I’m happy to travel within a 20-minute radius at no additional cost, and I love exploring new locations! For sessions outside that area, a travel fee may apply, but I’m always open to discussing exceptions for special or highly desired locations.
When will we get our photos?
You’ll always receive sneak peeks within 48 hours of your session! For regular sessions, you can expect your full gallery in about two weeks. For weddings, I typically deliver within three months. I do my best to edit and deliver sooner whenever possible, but timing can vary depending on my schedule. Your final gallery will be shared via a link, where you can easily view and download your photos.
How many pictures will we receive?
The number of photos depends on the type of session and package you choose. Each package includes a guaranteed minimum, and I carefully edit and deliver every image that meets my quality standards.
Your online gallery will contain all of your final edited photos, ready for download according to the number included in your chosen package.
What type of a photographer would you describe yourself as?
I would describe my style as light, bright, timeless, and true-to-color. My goal is to capture not just how you look, but your personality and the genuine moments that make you, you. I want your session to be fun, relaxed, and full of real connection — the kinds of moments I imagine hanging on your wall and bringing a smile for years to come.
WHAT PAYMENT OPTIONS DO YOU USE, AND ARE THERE ANY PAYMENT PLANS?
Once we’ve agreed to move forward, I’ll send you a secure payment link. A non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking to hold your session date. The remaining balance is due no later than the day before your session, and a payment link will be sent to you one week prior. All payments are handled through my booking system for convenience and ease. Payment plans are available for larger sessions and weddings. If you’re interested, just let me know, and we can discuss the options that work best for you.
Do you offer different styles of editing?
I specialize in a light, bright, and true-to-color editing style. Consistency is important to me so that every client knows exactly what to expect when booking a session.
