FAQ
WHERE SHOULD WE TAKE THE PHOTOGRAPHS?
I have a bunch of recommended natural and cityscape locations throughout Denver and the Foothills. I also love coming up with new locations to shoot based on your stylistic desires. Travel is included to locations within 15 miles of Morrison, CO, but for a reasonable charge, I am willing to travel just about anywhere.
WHAT TIMES OF DAY ARE YOU AVAILABLE?
Lighting is so important for spectacular photos. I love capturing moments right after sunrise or in the golden hour before sunset so my appointment availability is set around that. Evenings are typically best for mountain shoots while shots in the city can be good both in the morning and evenings. If you are booking an event or an indoor location, reach out and we can schedule a custom appointment that fits your needs.
HOW MANY OUTFITS CAN I BRING?
I would recommend 1-2 outfits for a Mini Session, 2-3 outfits for a Standard Session, and as many as you’d like for a Full Session. Please be aware that some locations will have no options to change clothes except a restroom or possibly in your car depending on where we are shooting.
IS THE DEPOSIT REFUNDABLE?
If you are rescheduling at least one week before the original session, the deposit will be transferred to the new date and time, no problem. Deposits for cancellations within one week of the original session, or sessions not rescheduled, will be forfeited.
HOW AND WHEN DO I PAY THE BALANCE?
Payments are easy with my online shop. I will send you an invoice after delivery of the photos. You will have the option to pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, etc. You can also pay cash in person if that is easier for you.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET MY PHOTOS?
Normal turnaround time is about 1-4 days after the shoot. During the busy summer season, turnaround time can be up to 7 days. Retouching will take an additional 1-3 days.
HOW MANY PHOTOS DO I GET?
It all depends on the type of session you book. Mini Sessions include 20+ photos, Standard Sessions include 40+ photos, and Full Sessions include 80+ photos.
DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIGITAL FILES?
Nope, you sure don’t! Some photographers may charge a low, upfront price then nickel and dime you later on delivery of digital files and products. My pricing includes full digital rights to all the files I provide you! If you wish to purchase physical prints (including canvases, framed images, or photos on metal) from a professional print shop, you will have the option to do that for a very reasonable price straight through the digital gallery I send you.
HOW DO I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
I’ll send you a link to a digital gallery where you can download them all in a high-quality JPEG format. You will also have the option to purchase physical prints (including canvases, framed images, or photos on metal) from a professional print shop for a reasonable cost.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
For camera bodies, I use a Sony A7IV and a Sony A7III. I have lots of lenses in my arsenal depending on the location and the desired look of the shot. These include a Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8, Sigma 85mm f/1.4, Sony 20mm f/1.8, Sigma 15mm f/1.4 fisheye, and a Sony GM 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6.
HOW FAR OUT SHOULD I BOOK A SESSION?
During Spring, Summer, Fall, I recommend booking 1-2 months out.
HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION?
I have an online booking system so you can secure your desired session date today!
WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE?
Colorado weather can be crazy! Sometimes we will have to reschedule a session if it’s going to be severe and/or dangerous. No problem. Rescheduling for other reasons is fine, but I ask that you provide me with one week of notice before the originally scheduled shoot. Sessions that aren’t rescheduled one week ahead of the original shoot or cancellations without any rescheduling are subject to losing the deposit.
CAN I GET THE RAW PHOTOS?
With very few exceptions, the answer is no. I will provide you with very high quality JPEGs that are capable of being printed at sizes up to 24”x36” and sometimes larger.
DO YOU SHOOT WEDDINGS?
I do not shoot large weddings, however I can do small ceremonies.
