FAQ
What types of photography services do you offer?
I offer a wide range of photography services, including weddings, portraits, products, headshots, events, personal branding, etc..
How do I book a photography session with your team?
Booking a photography session is easy. Simply reach out to us through our website (Book here button), and let us know the type of session you're interested in. We'll guide you through the process, discuss your requirements, and find a convenient date and time for your session.
Where are you based and do you travel or couples travel to you?
Salt Lake City, Utah! I do travel for my photography and oh boy, aren't these trips the coolest thing ever? I have quite a few clients that do travel to me to get their pictures done since I live in a state that is surround by national parks, beautiful mountains and deserts. Plenty of my couples do so they can make a little trip out of getting photos done. Utah has tons of incredible places, national parks, landscapes, mountains, and deserts.
Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?
Absolutely! We believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, we're open to capturing your portraits in a place that holds meaning to you.
Headshots for talent agencies are recommended to be taken in a studio.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
We understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. The turnaround depends on how much I shoot, how busy I am, my travel schedule, and the holidays. Typically, for regular sessions it takes 2 weeks or less and weddings take 5 weeks or less. I try to get them back to you as soon as possible while making sure I give time to each and every image needs.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?
How many pictures will we receive?
Each one of my packages varies in how many images are delivered, since many things need to be taken in consideration such as time, events, size of the group, etc.. but I promise I’ll always include plenty of images of everything I capture. I don’t like to give a cutoff number because I don’t believe in withholding any images from you to get you to pay more like some photographers do. You can always order canvases or albums, but I won't be charging you for extra photos. These are your memories, I promise to capture them fully and give you more than enough images to remember this time in your lives.
The only packages that have a limited amount of retouched photos are the headshots packages. You get some retouched photos with each package and you can also order extra retouched ones.
Do you give raw images to your clients?
No. I believe that editing is half the magic that goes into images and without this huge step the images are only halfway done. I promise to never leave any photos out that you’ll want/need, and if you feel I missed delivering a photo, just ask! I’m more than happy to check back through my images and send it over to you (I make mistakes, no lie!). I won’t let you miss out on your memories!
How does payment work?
For headshots photoshoots you can make the payment in the Booking page, as for Weddings, Engagements,Family portraits, High Fashion, and others photoshoots I do require 50% of the shoot on the day you schedule, and the other 50% on the day of the photoshoot.
