  • A — A signed contract and retainer fee is required to reserve the date and time of the event. If the event is rescheduled, postponed, or cancelled; or if there is a breach of contract by the client, the retainer fee is non-refundable. Certain situations excluded- inquire further for special circumstances.

  • A — This is a question I get often and one I don’t usually have the same answer for. I don’t like to put myself in a box when it comes to deliverables. I will never cap your gallery at a number and hold incredible photos hostage.

    Every wedding and session is different, therefore every gallery will be unique. But not to worry, I am a chronic over shooter and tend to over deliver.

  • A— Travel fees are no longer included in my wedding packages. Depending on the location; the fee will include airfare, stay for 2-4 nights and car rental/ transportation fees. Please know that I will always be mindful of your budget and will do my best to find the most affordable option when it comes to booking travel.  However, please inquire for more details and options.

  • A — Availability warranting, I am usually flexible. Unforeseeable circumstances like extreme weather on your session or wedding day can usually be rescheduled without a fee. If you are booking a session with me during rainy months in the PNW, sessions can only be rescheduled with a rescheduling fee. But not to worry, rain can enhance the experience making your images that much more special and unique!

  • A — Payment via HoneyBook is preferred. Please inquire for details before sending any payment.

  • A— During my editing process, I will do my best to remove any blemishes, spots, red marks, etc. I only remove imperfections that are not permanent on your body.
