Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sets you apart from other photographers?

A: I've been photographing people since 1997, so I bring nearly three decades of experience to every session.  I keep things relaxed, fun, and comfortable—because the best photos happen when you actually feel like yourself.

Q: Will we get the print release for our photos after our session?

A: Absolutely.  You'll receive high-resolution digital files along with a print release, so you're free to print and share your photos.  Your gallery will also have options for ordering professional-grade prints and products.

Q: How long does it take to get my gallery back?

A: My contract allows up to two weeks for portrait galleries and six weeks for weddings—but I'm notoriously impatient when it comes to finishing galleries.  Most are delivered well before that.

Q: Will my photos be posted publicly on your site or social media?

A: Only if you are comfortable with it.  I love sharing my work and often post on my social media pages, but your privacy comes first.  If you'd prefer that your images stay private, just let me know.

Q: Will you Photoshop my images to hide any unwanted spots, wrinkles, etc?

A: My general rule: if it won't be there in two weeks, I'll remove it.  That includes temporary blemishes, bruises, and other little distractions.  Permanent features are part of you, so I leave those alone unless you specifically ask me to retouch something.

Q: Can I get prints made anywhere?

A: Yes.  Your print release allows you to print wherever you like.  For the best color and quality, though, I strongly recommend ordering through a professional photo lab rather than a drugstore or big box printer.  Your photos will not look like your gallery when printed at non-professional stores.

Q: What equipment do you use?

A: I photograph with professional Canon mirrorless cameras and a full collection of lenses with backup equipment at every wedding.  I also use professional lighting when the situation calls for it.  I bring plenty of gear so you never have to worry about it.

Q: Do you photograph destination weddings?

A: Absolutely.  I'm happy to travel for weddings and would love to hear what you're planning.

Q: Are the people featured on your site models?

A: Nope!  They're real clients—couples and families I've had the pleasure of photographing over the years.  No professional models required.
