The FAQ

Do you Travel?

Yes! Typically I charge $0.50 per mile of travel outside of the Portland, Oregon area. Message me if you would like a custom travel qoute!

How long have you been doing this?

Ever since I was a kid I have been behind the camera. Every camping trip was full of polaroids and funny selfies with a disposable Kodak camera. In 2015, I was gifted my first DSLR camera by my grandma for high school graduation. I went full time with my photography in 2020!

How many photos do we get?

Portrait and couples sessions range from 80-100 edited images. Weddings and elopements range from 400-1000 images. Each session also includes black and white versions of each selected edited image!

How do we get our photos?

For BOUDOIR clients all UNEDITED images will be uploaded to PIXIESET photo galleries with a watermark and the link will be emailed to you. You will select the images you want me to edit and once edited, they will be re-uploaded to the same link.

For ALL CLIENTS- You will receive a gallery via my website. The edited images will be available for download with the download pin sent in your email. The edited images will NOT included the watermark once downloaded.

Do you retouch photos?

Yes and no! I do add my own presets and color grade images to match my style. I will remove acne, blemishes and even scars (if asked to remove) at no extra charge. I want your images to represent you on your best day! I do NOT alter bodies or faces with Photoshop/Facetune.

Whats your turn around time?

4-5 weeks for sessions.
Up to 10 weeks for weddings and elopements.

Can you help us with planning?

Yes! I have recommendations for florists, makeup artists, dress rentals, studios (I own my own studio in PDX), locations, styling, and more!

How far out do you book?

I can book one year in advance but I am always down for a last minute session if I have availability.

What should we do for an engagement session?

This is totally unique to you! If you need location ideas we can brainstorm.

What should we wear?

I send style guides to anyone who asks after booking. We will make sure your outfit fits the scene but also stands out!
