This can vary due to circumstances. However, we produce 75-100 images per hour of coverage for weddings; 50-75 images per hour of coverage for elopements; 25+ for family sessions

Can we post our photos on social media?

Of course! The more the better! I just ask that you tag my business in any photos, and to please not crop or edit any photos. That includes putting a filter on photos on Instagram.

What equipment do you use?

I shoot with a Canon R6 Mark ii and my back up body is a Canon 6D. I love my 35mm lens and my 24-105mm lens, but also use a 16mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 70-200mm.

How do we receive our photos?

All of your high-resolution digital images will be hosted in an online gallery (with one-year cloud storage), available for you to share and download. A USB is also provided for wedding and boudoir photographs

What should I wear to my session?

Something unique, but that fits your personality and makes you feel comfortable. The best thing I suggest is to color coordinate without “matching.” Avoid logos, distracting patterns, and bright neon colors around your face and neck. Layers and anything flowy is always a plus in my book! I will send you over a style guide after you officially book.

Do you edit all of the images you send us?

Sure do! All images will be skillfully retouched.

When do you shoot?

That depends on a lot of factors! Always contact me for more information!
I do nearly all of my sessions (engagement/maternity/family, etc.) in the hours leading up to sunset on Mondays through Fridays.
