Ain’t no thang! You can always let me know if you’d prefer that I take all creative liberties as I shoot and edit. Every client, couple, and event is different! We will chat about what you like (and don’t like) when it comes to different images before your big day so that I have a good understanding of your personal taste.

50% of the Base Package (excluding Travel Fees and Add-Ons) is required to secure the contract price. The contract and Retainer are due within 24 hours of each other. Travel Fees, any Add-Ons, and the remaining 50% are due by the Contracted Event Date. *Travel is invoiced separately from Photo Packages.

Yes, I do! Any wedding vendor you're considering for your day should have general and event liability insurance for both your protection, theirs, and your other wedding vendor protection.

Of course I always do my best in making you look and FEEL the best version of yourself, but at the end of the day, I still want you to look like YOU, so I follow the 3 Day Rule: If it wouldn’t naturally disappear, couldn’t be removed, or applied to or from you in three days, it stays. Stubborn acne, bruises and scrapes can go, but your tattoos will remain. Brightening of eyes and teeth are dependent on lighting, and I will adjust those as I see fit to accurately account for the moment! You're stunning, love. In case something is distracting, or would normally not be there, I will use my photoshop wizardry to remove objects! There's a fine line between the purely photojournalistic approach and "clean, editorial" one, but that's why I love to mix my galleries up!

You may think that altering a photo isn’t a big deal, but it can cause some major repercussions down the road for your photographer…Here’s why it’s important NOT to edit your photographer’s galleries: - If you add filters and edits to the photo that your photographer has put so many hours crafting and putting their unique signature on, it’s now not a true representation of their work. - We edit our photos to our signature tastes, which is what our future clients can know to expect from us. If they see work that misrepresents us with our name on it, that prospective client either 1. Isn’t going to come to us or 2. Is going to come to us expecting a different thing (good or bad aside!) - Our creative touches are consistent with our portfolio and body of work, and we put hours and hours into developing each portion of our craft. Some of us do that for multiple editing styles! (cough cough). It’s also important to note that every photographer is different. For instance, in my contracts I have specific clauses about allowing my clients to edit photos for their personal use (home projects or screensavers), but I also don’t charge for re-editing, and don’t allow for their edits to be posted on any public forums. WHAT YOU CAN DO INSTEAD: If you receive a gallery you’re unhappy with, or you want a few touch ups on, just reach out, and start an honest conversation! I really just want to please you, so if you do want to have something adjusted, just ask so I can be sure to keep brand consistency throughout my public body of work!

We can chat more specifically regarding your session, but generally speaking, there are two ways to calculate travel fees: 1. Within the Phoenix, AZ Local areas of a 60 mile radius (approximately), there are no travel fees. Outside of this, I charge per approx. mile to cover cost of fuel, vehicle wear, and time. 2. If the location is greater than 150 miles, or in a state other than Arizona or California, the cost of flight(s), rental car, lodging, and per diem are what make up the Travel Fee.

My goal is to get your photos to you as soon as possible! For a photo session, you can expect your gallery within 14-20 days after the shoot. For my brides and grooms, you can expect a preview of 25+ images within 24 hours, and the final gallery between 6-8 weeks.
