FAQ’s

1. You’re a bit out of my price range, are you willing to negotiate?

I do not negotiate prices. I truly believe in what I offer and take pride in the work I produce. Every photographer will be priced differently for various factors. I believe in quality over quantity - cheaper doesn’t always mean “better”. Thank you for those that truly support me and will go ALL IN for me!

2. How long are your sessions?

My sessions typically run from 45 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on which session package you book and the option to add on additional time.

3. When is my balance due?

Payments have been updated - I will only be using Venmo and PayPal moving forward. Sessions require a 50% non-refundable retainer and weddings require a 25% non-refundable retainer to book. The retainer counts towards the total cost of your session/wedding package. The signed contract and non-refundable retainer is reserved for you for 48 hours before the date is open again.

4. Will you help with posing?

YES, ABSOLUTELY! I will gently guide you with prompts while I’m snapping away! You’'ll see the magic that unfolds when you see your photos! I always ask at the end of our session if you have any poses you want as well.

5. We’re not sure what to wear…

No worries! I will provide outfit inspiration on what to wear with my Pinterest boards and also in the full investment guide. Some general tips that are helpful is to use neutral & earth toned colors, avoid intricate prints and small details, (you won’t be able to see them clearly in your photos), dress comfortably (because it will show in your photos), and most importantly wear something that’s YOU!

6. Where is the best location for us?

There are so many beautiful places on the island and I will help you narrow down some options when you complete the contact form. When your session gets close, I share a call sheet that will have directions on how to get to our location, what to bring, predicted weather, and more!

7. When will I receive my gallery?

My updated turnaround time is 3 weeks. Your private online gallery will be sent via email where you will be able to download web size and high resolution photos onto your desktop, mobile device, and also print! My gallery service Pic-Time also has an app you can download in the App Store to directly download photos to your mobile device. Your online gallery will be live for only 90 days which will give you ample time to back them up!

8. Will you Photoshop us to change our appearance?

To answer this in short, I do very minimal editing that includes removing obstructions that may be distracting in the scene or obvious blemishes. I stay away from heavy photoshopping such as making people appear thinner.

9. Can you make your edits to the style I want?

Every photographer has their own unique style and you should definitely choose a photographer that you resonate with! If you follow me on social media, you will know exactly what you are going to get! Another important note is that the weather plays a role as well. If our session was more cloudy than if it was sunny, your gallery may be more dark and moody on a cloudy day compared to a sunny day which will be more golden and bright! Lastly, on behalf of every photographer out there, please keep in mind that photographers spend HOURS editing galleries to perfect them! Please try to refrain from adding filters to compromise our edits, which will also be in violation of the contract you signed. We hope you love your photos as much as we love them!

10. I really wanted to hang my photos around my home and send them to friends and family! How can we do that?

I’m so glad you asked! When you book with me, you also have access to my web gallery’s print shop. You can create custom prints, albums, and more through Pic-Time! It’s very user-friendly and convenient for delivering your orders straight to your doorstep. Amazing isn’t? I also earn a small commission when you make an order so I appreciate your support in advance to everyone who decides to purchase prints through Pic-Time!
