Frequently asked questions.
Let’s Get The FAQs Straight!
Can you help pick a location?
ABSOLUTELY! I spend hours scouting locations that are unique & beautiful! Whether you are hoping for rural, urban, or you just need a place that isn’t your backyard, I have suggestions! Upon booking, I will send you a full location guide of locations all over Utah. But I am also happy to follow you if you have a location that you have been eyeing for a while!
Can you help pick out our outfits?
I sure can! I’m no fashion guru, but I can tell you what looks good with your location of choice & with my editing style. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with light neutrals, but I’m more than happy to give you more specific recommendations on your wardrobe!
Can you make me look skinnier?
I have shaved off a pound or two in photos before, but to be honest, I don’t have the time or expertise to do that in every single photo in your gallery. First of all, I’m sure you look great! Second of all, I will do my very best to get the good angles that flatter your curves & features!
I am awkward in front of the camera! Can you help?
I HAVE YET TO SEND OUT A GALLERY OF AWKWARD PEOPLE! I will guide you step by step throughout the entire session. We’ll loosen you up, & you’ll be so comfortable in front of the camera once we’re done that you will probably want to apply to every modeling agency within the western region.
My kids are wild, are you going to get any good photos?
Kids are my favorite! Believe it or not, they are genuinely one of my favorite people to capture! They can be wild, sure, but they are so candid, genuine, & unapologetic, & those truly make for the best photos! I got you, mama!
Do you travel?
Yes I do!! Of course I add a travel fee to any of my sessions you book, but I am down to travel anywhere within the US!
How long will it take you to finish our gallery?
I finish every gallery within the month! It definitely differs for session type, circumstances, & my schedule though. The average time it takes me to send out a full gallery is about a week & a half!
Where will you send my photos when you’re done?
You will receive a couple sneak peeks within 24 hours of your session sent to your messenger/text/email/where we are communicating. Your full session will be sent to your email with a link to a fully downloadable (in high-res) gallery via Pic-Time!
How do you keep our photos safe?
I have 3 forms of back-ups for your photos! I have never lost a gallery before & I do not plan to start now! As soon as I’m back from your session, they are immediately backed-up onto my external hard drive!
What camera equipment do you use?
I use a Nikon 810 DSLR & my backup camera is a Nikon7500 DSLR! I have 4 lenses: a 24-70mm 4.0, 35mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8, & an 80mm 1.8!
Can I have the RAW files too?
Unfortunately I do not give out the raw photos under any circumstances. An artist doesn’t hand out their half-finished canvas.
What if the weather is bad?
We have 2 options. Both have been done & both turn out amazing! 1. We embrace it & use it for epic photos! Rainstorms, snow, wind, etc. we will make it work! OR 2. We reschedule for another time within the month. I’m happy to reschedule a photoshoot if the weather takes a turn you are not anticipating!
What if I give birth in the middle of the night?
GIRL I AM THERE! The majority of babies are actually born in the middle of the night due to the body’s normal nighttime relaxins! So I fully anticipate to be there in the middle of the night snappin’ pictures! I’m always on call around your due date at any time, day or night!
Should we do engagements/bridals?
My answer: absolutely!! But it is totally up to you! I look back at my engagement & bridals to this day & cherish them! I definitely think it should be a priority when you are planning your wedding to set some time aside for photos that will literally last you a lifetime!
When’s the best time to take maternity photos?
I have taken photos during all different times of pregnancy, but generally women pick somewhere in between 32-38 weeks to take maternity photos, depending on how they feel or how large (glowing) they’d like to be. The other factor would be high-risk pregnancies, & those I typically take at around 25-29 weeks!
