FAQ

How do I book?

To book, complete the form on my contact page. Please include as much detail as possible as this allows for me to clearly understand what you're looking for. This can include but is not limited to locations, outfits, Pinterest boards, editing styles, feelings you wish to express, etc. From there, I will follow up to your inquiry with a email.
A 30% DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED AT LEAST 48 HOURS PRIOR TO SDAY OF SHOOT. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR PHOTOSHOOTS TO BE CONSIDERED OFFICIALLY BOOKED. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN CANCELATION OF SERVICES.

Where are you based and do you travel?

I am based in New Orleans, but I do travel for photography assignments. While I primarily shoot in New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, I am open to discussing travel for events outside of these areas. Travel requirements will be discussed and agreed upon on a case-by-case basis to ensure the best possible experience for both parties.

When will we get our photos?

You can typically expect to receive your edited photos within 2-3 weeks, depending on the scale of the project and current workload. I strive to deliver high-quality images promptly while ensuring attention to detail and creative refinement. If a faster turn around time is requested, there is an additional fee.

Do you photograph events?

Yes, I do photograph events. My pricing is based on an hourly rate, which varies depending on the specific event.

How many pictures will we receive?

The number of photos you'll receive depends on several factors, including the duration and nature of the event or shoot, as well as the level of coverage requested. This number may vary based on specific circumstances and client preferences. You will receive at least 10+ photos. During the allotted time, I allow unlimited photos to be taken.
