FAQs

 

 

I want you to have the best experience possible! I've answered some of the most common questions below. If you don't see what you're looking for, contact me here.

Wedding + Elopement FAQs

Are travel costs included in your packages?

Weddings + elopements happening in Joshua Tree and Palm Springs do not have any extra hidden fees since I am local to the area! Anywhere further than these two areas are subject to additional travel fees.

If you are interested in have me travel somewhere else for your wedding or elopement, please reach out to me and I would love to discuss further details!

Can we add more time to our package after booking?

ABSOLUTELY!

Once we start planning your perfect day, you might decide that package you choose just simply doesn't have enough time to do everything you've envisioned! Extra time can always be added at any point in the process.

We have never been to the destination and dont know where to start!

Do not stress! That is what I am here for!

Most of my couples have never been to their chosen location! Please fill out my contact form and we discuss all the options together.

Can you help us with planning?

ABSOULTLY!

Portrait session FAQs

Where are you located / do you travel?

I am located in Joshua Tree + Twentynine Palms CA!

YES, I do travel for my sessions! California is absolutely breathtaking, with some of the unique locations! Please keep in mind that places further than a 20 mile radius from me are subjected to travel fees! If you are interested in traveling somewhere for your photo session, please reach out to me and I would love to discuss further details!

How many photos do we get?

My portrait sessions and wedding/elopement packages are all inclusive!!!
meaning I will never charge you for extra images outside of the estimated number (a minimum of 35 for portrait sessions and approximately 50 images per hour of coverage for weddings/elopements).
I deliver all the best edited images and never withhold any images that help tell your unique story!

The final number of images you will receive in your final gallery varies depending on how our session/day runs!

When/how will we get our photos?

My client agreement says you will get your pictures within a month; however, I always tell clients they can expect their gallery within 2-3 weeks (weddings being the exception) but on average, I send clients the final gallery asap because im just always too excited!
I have been in your position, waiting very impatiently, to receive my pictures back so I can post them everywhere, so I always do everything I can to get the pictures back as soon as possible!

I love to stay in contact with my clients to let them know when they can expect their galleries and almost always send a few different sneak peaks while I am in the process of editing!

-

I use PixieSet to deliver my final images for many different reasons!

The gallery is extra protected by requiring both a password and download pin in order to access your pictures. There are several different ways to download your images including: the full gallery, individual images at a time, high resolution, and web size. *To ensure the best quality possible, please download images instead of taking screenshots*

What should we wear?

I love this question because outfits can really impact the overall look of the final images!

Once your session is confirmed, I send you a detailed styled guide! I also offer a client closet that has over 25 dresses in all sizes that you are more than welcomed to use for your session!

My best advice for what to wear is stick to neutral/pastels and make sure you feel confident in what you are wearing! Once your session date is confirmed, I would be more than happy to help you pick outfits!

Can you help us with planning?

ABSOULTLY!

I love to help my clients with everything including providing location ideas that fit the vibe you are wanting, offering outfit advice, and providing vendors when needed

At how many weeks should I do my maternity session?

I was recommend 28-34 weeks! We want you to have a bump, but we dont want you to be uncomfortable moving around! But you can take them at any point you want to!
