FAQ

How do I book a shoot?

For all regular sessions a 50% non-refundable session retainer is required to book and hold the date for your session and serves as a cancellation fee. However, the fee can be credited towards a future session. The remaining balance is due before delivery.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! I do offer payment plans upon request.

All retainer fees must be paid immediately. Session and other packages (plus taxes) can be paid via cash, certified check, or PayPal. Checks must clear prior to reserving and booking a session date.

What payment methods are available?

Cash, certified check, or PayPal

What services do you offer? 

Documentary, lifestyle, professional, and creative photography. I work in big and small moments, from every day and ordinary to once-in-a-lifetime extraordinary. Every moment is worth capturing.

Do you offer engagement sessions? 

Yes! I offer sessions of any occasion with the exception of weddings, both ceremony or reception.

When will I receive my images? 

Typically your gallery will be ready for viewing within 8 weeks after the shoot. A small preview is usually available on facebook or instagram.

What is your typical timeline?

Photo shoots begin upon arrival, which means any location scouting or wrangling of people will factor into our allotted time together, unless scouting and posing is included with your package. To get the most value for your dollar, it will pay to be prepared.

Do you edit all of the photos yourself?

I do! My editing style is to remain as true to life as possible. I am able to do additional retouching (blemishes, lint, stains, etc) on request.

Can I order prints? 

Absolutely! I am picky about who I work with as a printer, being a firm believer in high quality prints that are the right color. I work with a local printer in Traverse City, MI who provides the highest quality, archival printing I have found (not to mention they’re a pleasure to work with). You can order prints directly from your gallery.
