FAQ
How do you photograph weddings?
On your wedding day, I like to tell the day's story. From capturing the feelings, the mood, the emotions, the calm and crazy moments, and all the details that make your wedding unique.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in the far south suburbs of the Chicagoland area. I am approximately 34 miles from Downtown Chicago; however, I will travel up to 20 miles without a travel fee. Ask about travel fees.
When will we recieve our photos?
You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within one (1) day.
For weddings, this depends on how fast you select your favorites. However, the contract states that anything about the wedding is usually finished within a month (edits, wedding book, etc.)
In most other sessions, once favorites are selected, edits can take up to a week, depending the season, before your personalized website delivery.
You can download all the photos from your website, share them, and order prints.
Can I get pictures before your regular timeline?
Only for portrait sessions! Yes, you can. There is an extra fee of $50 to have pictures, after selections, rushed to have them within 48 hours per 20 selected pictures.
How many pictures will we receive?
This depends on the type of session.
For weddings, you will receive between 200 and 400 fully edited images that allow you to tell the story digitally to select for your wedding book.
For events, all pictures of the contracted time will be received.
For everything else, anywhere from 5- 20 edited images. Additional pictures can be added for $5 ea.
Can I have the unedited pictures?
Yes, you can. Two additional packages have been added due to the popularity of this request.
How long do sessions take?
All sessions are based on 30-minute or 1-hour slots. So please factor in outfit changes and background changes*. Most clients typically book 1-hour sessions.
*Background changes are not counted towards your session, and 5-minute wardrobe change is not counted.
Booking fee or late charges?
Yes, it is a standard practice in our industry to have a $25 nonrefundable booking fee, which will be deducted from your session total. This fee is in place to ensure that you are committed to your bookings.
Yes, a late charge is added to the session charge after 15 minutes, and you still would like to have an entire session (which is based on availability). I understand things happen, and if that is the case, please let me know through our most recent mode of communication as soon as possible.
Please be considerate if you are running behind. 10- 15 minutes is doable and will be deducted from your session time. Anything after 20 minutes is subject to cancellation, pending the time allotted for your session and interference with the next client.
If your session is canceled due to extreme delay, a new date/time must be agreed upon.
Can I add someone to my session?
Yes, you can. (Especially for family, maternity, and engagement.)
It is okay if your guest takes a few pictures in a single portrait session (less than 10 with you). However, an extra fee or session is required if they take pictures alone.
Do you have props
Not at the moment.
