FAQ
How many pictures will we receive?
Typically you will receive around 50 digital images from a one hour session. Mini sessions will receive around 15 images. For weddings, it depends on the allotted coverage time; from simple to intricate weddings- the amount of photos will vary. A basic wedding typically has 500+ images. Every session has professionally edited images that are done manually. Each picture is given attention to lighting, composure, color, and depth. Photographer has been trained in workshops, Lightroom, and always desiring to learn/grow for the clients benefit and service!
How soon will we receive our photos back?
I deliver sneak peek photos within 72 hours after your wedding day!!! I will deliver your full gallery within 10-12 weeks from your wedding day!
What is the best time for a session?
Natural lighting. Natural lighting. Natural lighting.
The first hour after sunrise and the first hour before sunset are undoubtedly the best time for pictures. The lighting at this time of day is stunning. Overcast days are actually great for shooting as the clouds work as a natural reflectant and cover any direct sunlight. If it rains on your session day, we will reschedule.
For sessions in home, I recommend taking pictures during different times of the day to find where the best natural light is coming through. We will plan our session around that.
If sessions can only be done around the middle of the day. shooting in shade will be our friend. Harsh and direct lighting can create shadow and other undesired elements in the photos.
Where are you based?
I currently live in Manhattan, Kansas. I serve surrounding areas to include Kansas City, KCMO, Lawrence, Topeka, Salina, Wichita, and all areas in between! I am willing to travel further for weddings only. If client is outside of stated boundaries, client is to pay travel fees.
I am originally from Kansas (when I picture heaven, it's a good ole Kansas prairie in the Flint Hills). I have also lived in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Apollo Beach, Florida! Wherever we are, your photos will be stunning!
How will the photos be delivered?
The photos will be delivered to your email with a link to your online gallery. From there, you can download your photos, share the link with family/friends, share to social media, and order prints.
What to wear?
Neutral, soft, creamy, earthy colors make for breathtaking photos. Family portraits should be well coordinated; I provide complimentary wardrobe inspiration during our initial booking. Solid colors or subtle patterns look best when put on the backdrop of nature. Keep it simple, classy, and neutral. Low contrast outfits look best and give the "light and airy" look. Avoid logos, harsh colors/ patterns, and inappropriate dressing.
