One of the most important things for me is that you feel comfortable and authentic during your session, so you should always wear what you feel best in. That being said, if you know what you'd be comfortable in but still need some ideas, I've made some inspo Pinterest boards! Click here for a some couples ideas and here for some portrait ideas. Earthy tones are always a safe bet and allow the center of the image's focus to fall on you.
Although I'm based in Columbus, IN, I can sometimes travel to nearby cities/towns and occasionally further. I had a sweet baby not long ago, so traveling has become a bit more complicated! But I will always do my best to accommodate your dream locations and get to you if you are outside of my regular radius! Shoot me a message if you have an idea for a shoot outside of Columbus and I'll do my best to make it work!
Of course! Planning and executing a photoshoot can be stressful and complex, especially if you don't have experience with it. I promise to always do my best to help you in whatever way I can and make it as easy as possible so you can focus on what's important. From scheduling a date and time & choosing a location, to picking an outfit (or two)— I'm here to help every step of the way!
I completely understand what it's to be on a budget— believe me. I have been blessed to have many people work with me to afford something that was important to me, so I promise to always work with you budget-wise when I have the ability to do so. I'll always be real with you and promise that you can always feel comfortable to be real with me. :)
Each of my wedding packages comes with a personalized planning session (in-person or video/phone call). We'll get to know each other and I'll get a sense of what you're dreaming of for your big day. Then we'll put together a list of desired shots (ex: first dance, first look, etc.), and put together a rough idea of an itinerary. We'll stay in touch throughout your planning process and can update the shot list/schedule as needed! In addition to your dream-pic-list , I'll be prepared with poses + prompts for all types of shots.
Depending on the size of your wedding, I may hire an associate photographer to make sure I don't miss any important shots or moments. There won't be any additional charge to you, and my second shooter will operate under the same conditions as I will under our contract. If you have any thoughts on whether or not you think you need a second shooter, we can definitely chat about it and figure something out toegether.
Each of my session types require a retainer fee of 30% of the final cost to lock in your preferred date and time. Since your session will be scheduled for a specific date, a retainer insures that I won't schedule any other shoots for that day or time, making you my main priority!
