General

What kinds of sessions do you offer?
Weddings & elopements, engagements, families, headshots/portraits, and events. See Pricing for what’s included with each.
Where are you based? Do you travel?
I’m based in Denver and shoot across the metro area. Travel outside a ~25-mile radius is available—just ask for a quick quote.
How long are sessions?
Families & portraits: 45–60 minutes. Events: 2-hour minimum. Weddings: customized coverage—common options start at 4, 6, or 8 hours.
How many photos will I receive?
Families/portraits: ~40–75 edited images. Events: ~35–60 edited images per hour. Weddings: coverage-dependent; I focus on strong, story-driven edits over duplicates.
What’s the turnaround?
Families/portraits & engagements: 1–2 weeks. Events: 1–2 weeks (rush available). Weddings: 4–6 weeks with a sneak peek in the first week.
What if the weather is bad?
We’ll watch the forecast and decide together. I offer one complimentary reschedule for unsafe or truly unworkable conditions.

Booking & Payments

How do I book?
Use the Contact / Book form with your date, location ideas, and goals. I’ll confirm availability and send a simple estimate + next steps.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes—a retainer secures your date (families/portraits: $100; events: 25%; weddings: 30–50% depending on package). Balance is due by the session date (weddings: 2 weeks prior).
What’s your reschedule/cancellation policy?
One complimentary reschedule with 48-hour notice for families/portraits. Events/weddings follow the contract—retainers are non-refundable but may be applied once when rescheduling based on availability.
How do payments work?
I accept major cards and ACH. Invoices are sent electronically and can include payment plans for weddings.

Deliverables & Usage

How are photos delivered?
A private online gallery for viewing, sharing, and downloading high-resolution JPEGs. You can order pro-lab prints right from the gallery.
Do I have printing rights?
Yes—personal printing and sharing rights are included for families, portraits, and weddings. Event and headshot usage includes typical personal/brand use; commercial advertising or large campaigns may require a simple license upgrade.
Do you retouch images?
Yes—every delivered image is color-corrected with light, natural retouching. Additional edits (e.g., detailed skin work, background cleanup) are available on request.

Planning

What should we wear? Any prep tips?
Neutrals and simple palettes photograph well; avoid heavy logos. I’ll send a short prep guide with location & timing tips (golden hour, shade, backups) after booking.
Can you help choose a location?
Absolutely—I’ll suggest spots that match your vibe (urban, foothills, parks, indoor studio) and work with accessibility, permits, and light.
