WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
As a lifestyle photographer, I strive for a creative way to capture your natural, authentic self! In my sessions, I will actively offer direction to pose you in flattering and natural ways where you feel completely comfortable behind the camera. I’m always looking for new, unique and interesting perspectives and ways to capture shots and strive to create a genuine fun experience where you can look back on your photos and reminisce on the great time you had! I find my biggest inspiration from you awesome people and the area/ nature around me. The final images I provide you will be fully edited, bright, unique, full of rich color and show your true self. I work the same way with events and weddings, documenting your real story, capturing those intimidate moments without disrupting or directing. This allows for all of the day of magic to show through the camera; however, when the time comes available to sneak you two away and/ or create group shots I definitely step in an active directing role. Of course while keeping the fun going, I’ll make sure you feel good and look good. 😊
There are so many photographers out there, what makes you different?
This is absolutely true, there are a lot of photographers out there. Therefore, this is a crucial question. My answer is simply that I’m me. There are others with a similar shooting style, equipment, etc., now all of that is very important but you’re allowing me to be a part of a very intimate occasion whether your wedding or even a family session. Your trust is something I don’t take lightly and you’ll be spending a good bit of time with me; therefore, our personalities should jive. If you're looking for a lifestyle photographer, who takes the time to invest in your story and who you are, makes sure you have fun, is extremely detail oriented, constantly looks for new perspective and makes sure your comfort is a top priority, then I think I’ll be the perfect fit.
WHAT ARE YOUR RATES?
My sessions and wedding/event coverage packages vary depending on coverage time and location, so just inquire and we can discuss all of the details.
DO YOU HAVE ANY LIMITS ON COVERAGE TIME ON THE WEDDING DAY?
With every wedding being unique I offer customized packages to suit your needs. These packages can range from 4 hours to unlimited coverage (where I show up when you do and leave when you do).
WHERE WILL YOU TRAVEL?
Anywhere and everywhere! Travel costs only apply with locations that require a flight or that are over 1 hour away from Greensboro, NC. Destination weddings will be customized depending on the specifics of your location, however it’s generally 2 nights hotel and round trip flight out of PTI airport.
How Do we hire you?
When you're ready to book I'll send you an informational form with details I need for your contract. Once you complete that I'll send you your contract via a digital client portal and an electronic invoice for your deposit.
HOW MANY PHOTOS DO WE GET?
My goal is to completely capture your unique, beautiful story and I focus on quality over quantity. Therefore, it depends on the nature of your event and the amount of hours I’m shooting; however, for a standard 8 hour wedding (from getting ready to the exit), you'll usually receive between 500-900 images.
ARE ALL OF OUR PHOTOS EDITED?
Yes, every image delivered is hand selected and edited.
When will we receive our images?
I strive to knock your socks off with a couple of “sneak peeks” within a few days of your wedding. However, the best things are always worth waiting for. My commitment to your satisfaction doesn’t end after your wedding day, I carefully curate, prepare and edit every single image . This generally takes about 8 to 12 weeks to master your images, prepare your web gallery and organize into individual albums, and (if requested) design your album.
DO YOU PROVIDE A PRINT AND DISTRIBUTION RELEASE?
Absolutely, I provide print and distribution release so you can have your printed items done anywhere. However, I also have a professional printing lab with easy access from your gallery for high-end, tailored prints, canvases, albums, etc.
WHAT DO WE GET IN OUR ONLINE GALLERY?
You’ll receive a beautiful, user-friendly platform to view and share your images with as many people as you want (simply forward my email with the gallery access and instructions). For Weddings, Elopements & Events, all of the final edited images are organized in to albums categorized by time of day; however, for sessions you’ll receive an app along with your gallery to access & view your images on your phone without having to download. From your personal gallery you’re able to download your .zip file of all your images so you can store them and back them up onto as many devices as you want (no limits), order high-end, professional printed items (shipped direct to you in just days), and even sit back and watch a slideshow for your images.
DO YOU TAKE WEDDING DAY FAMILY GROUP PORTRAITS?
Absolutely! I will discuss an allotted time slot with you or your wedding planner for the day of to ensure these shots are prioritized without taking too much time. 😁
During A photoshoot, do you use props?
I don’t have any props that I use or bring to my sessions. I do like to utilize the beauty the location has to offer and any inspiring tangible items that are available. However, if you have any items you’d like to incorporate please feel free to bring them. I do usually ask my clients to bring a neutral blanket because you’d be amazed at how handy they can be.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
Canon, but my gear changes occasionally to continue feeding inspiration. My body of choice right now is the Canon EOS R with an assortment of lenses.
