PHOTOGRAPHY
Frequently Asked Questions
"Why should I choose you?" "What are your rates?"
...the burning questions.
Alright listen, I'm not Meredith Grey over here so I'm not going to force you to pick me, choose me, love me. I hope you're here because you've already seen my work and the love I pour into it. I pride myself on going above and beyond for my clients, and being more than just a photographer for you throughout this process. Whether that's helping you create a timeline for your day, running last minute to the drug store to grab you false lashes, picking up a coffee for you on the way, or being your personal dress pinner when you're having a wardrobe malfunction, I'll be your best friend for the day! Choosing the right photographer can be a big investment to make, and I am confident that choosing me will provide you not just with photos, but a unique, timeless, and beautiful experience that you will cherish for a lifetime. As a reference point, full day wedding photography starts at $5,800, but reach out and let's talk about creating and customizing a package just for you & your needs. You won't regret it.
How soon will I get my photos?
While I am meticulous, I know how exciting it can be and, at times, how impatient we can feel to see all of the photos, so I will always do my best to swiftly give you a beautiful and full gallery, and will never harbor gorgeous photos of yours. I always try to give a couple sneak peaks within a week or so of your shoot but for getting your full galleries back, here is what my average turnaround time looks like: -Portrait galleries: 3-4 weeks -Events galleries: 1-2 months -Wedding galleries: up to 4 months.
What's your background & experience in photography?
It ages me to say it, but I have ten years of experience in photography! Unlike most people who start photography by capturing portraits or still life, I actually did the entire opposite. I got my start in live music, stage, and concert photography which though challenging, was such an amazing experience that I wouldn’t trade the world for! I truly feel that the unique and constantly in motion nature of it has given me an edge on really freezing passing moments and movements in time, and has shaped so much of my current photography style in creating a luxurious timeless, cinematic, and documentary style gallery for you.
Do you do videography?
Unfortunately, I do not offer videography. I put my 110% into my photography to make sure every moment (or at least as much as I can get) of your day is photographed and do not want to split my attention! I can, however, recommend a videographer that I love and frequently work with if that is something that you're interested in.
What add-on services do you offer?
At the moment, in addition to my photography packages, here is the full list of the add-on services currently offered: -Film Photography -Same-day polaroids -Interactive disposable film simulation for your guests -Custom, luxury photo book, magazine, or album design & creation
Can you travel to us for our wedding?
YES! While I am currently based in Chicago & Milwaukee, I will travel anywhere in the world to document your love! If you choose to book me for your wedding events, we would simply add the calculated cost of travel and accomodations. You've already got enough on your plate with thinking about your events, so to avoid adding one more thing onto it, I take the initiative in calculating the total cost of travel and add that onto your package prior to booking.
