Frequently Asked Questions

Before reaching out, scroll through my most asked questions to get familiar with my process and what to expect from me.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER?

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO WE HAVE TO BOOK?

I have been doing photography as a career for since 2012. Though, I started taking photos at a much younger age doing unpaid shoots all the time for friends growing up.

WHERE ARE YOU BASED OUT OF?

HOW DO WE RESERVE OUR DATE?

I am based in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I love to travel, especially around the southwest.

HOW DO WE RESERVE OUR DATE?

How long until we hear back from you?

After looking over my FAQ’s and pricing page head over to fill out my contact form. The more info you give me the better! We will chat over your plans and ideas to see if we are a good fit. Once you are ready to book, I will send over a contract and invoice, both of which are completed electronically.

HOW LONG UNTIL WE HEAR BACK FROM YOU?

HOW MANY PHOTOS DO WE GET?

Once you fill out my contact form, you will get an automated confirmation e-mail. I will reply to your inquiry within 2 business days. If you don’t hear from me by then, you may have put in the wrong email when you required, or it may have gone to spam.

HOW MANY PHOTOS DO WE GET?

HOW LONG UNTIL WE RECEIVE OUR GALLERY?

I do not put a limit on how many photos you get, basically if it is good, you get it in the final edited gallery. I average about 80-100 photos per shooting hour. Duplicate images are not included but the best ones are, I promise. If you would like to see a finished gallery, just ask!

WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?

HOW DO YOU DELIVER OUR GALLERY?

For weddings and elopements, you will receive your gallery within 4-5 weeks and for regular couples’ sessions, you will get it within 1-2 weeks. I offer a rush editing option if you would like your elopement or session images within 5 days. I also send out sneak peeks within 24-48 hours via text.

HOW DO WE RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?

DO YOU SHOOT BY YOURSELF?

I have an online gallery system that I will send to your emails that is super user friendly. You will be able to download web-sized and hi-res images, share your gallery with friends or family, and have access to an online store where you can buy high quality prints and albums.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO WE HAVE TO BOOK?

Do You Travel?

The short answer is, the sooner the better, but that doesn't mean I don't have short-term availability. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you only have a couple weeks or months before your elopement!

DO YOU GIVE RAW UNEDITED IMAGES?

WHAT EQUIPTMENT DO YOU USE?

No, I do not. Editing is a huge part of the process, and the images are just not complete until they are edited. I give you all the good images, I promise, but if you think I have forgotten something important just ask and I will look back to make sure I didn’t mark something wrong and miss it.

HOW DO PAYMENT PLANS WORK?

WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?

I require 50% down with the signed contract to book and get in my calendar. The remaining 50% will be due one month before your elopement date, or one week before your regular session.

DO YOU SHOOT BY YOURSELF?

ARE YOU LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY?

For intimate weddings and elopements, I sometimes have a second shooter/assistant which is most of the time my husband. I do all of the editing and behind the scenes work, but he is there to catch other angles and moments for certain days. For any other shoot it will most likely just be me!

HOW DOES TRAVEL WORK?

CAN WE BRING OUR DOG(S)?

Travel fees are included in the pricing that I send you, so you don’t need to worry about extra costs for that. Just let me know where you are wanting to bring me, or a general idea, so I can send you the right pricing guide.

DO YOU HELP WITH PLANNING?

WHAT DO WE WEAR?

Yes! That is a huge part of my job especially with elopements. I will help with as much planning as you need and send vendor recs, etc.

CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP US?

CAN WE CHANGE OUTFITS?

I am happy to take away any temporary blemishes such as a pimple or bruise, but I do not alter the way you look. If you are self-conscious about something, please just let me know before our shoot.

WHAT EQUIPTMENT DO YOU USE?

CAN WE CHANGE OUTFITS?

I have mirrorless Canon camera bodies and a variety of Canon and Sigma lenses; most being prime lenses. I use a dual harness so I can always have 2 cameras on me with different lenses to avoid having to switch lenses a million times a day.

WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?

CAN WE CHANGE OUTFITS?

Most weather is going to be totally fine; clouds and dramatic weather can be really cool for photos. In the unfortunate case where it is dangerous, or just impossible to get good photos, we will work on a plan B, or C, or reschedule if that is possible.

CAN WE BRING OUR DOG(S)?

CAN WE CHANGE OUTFITS?

Always, yes! I do appreciate being informed beforehand so I can prepare for it. If your dog is a rebel like mine, you may consider bringing along a friend to help wrangle them while they aren’t in shots.

WHAT DO WE WEAR?

CAN WE CHANGE OUTFITS?

I have an outfit guide that you can look over for some outfit tips! You can also send me pictures of outfit ideas if you want me to give you my opinion on what you have picked out. My main tip is to coordinate, don't match!

CAN WE CHANGE OUTFITS?

You can change outfits as many times as you want, just me aware of the time that changing can take away from our shoot. Also, many outdoor locations don’t have a place to change, so the car or behind a blanket might be out only option.
