FAQ

General Questions

  • Consultations are informal meetings so we can meet and discuss your needs and goals while I answer your questions. They are optional and can be held by phone, video call or in-person at a local coffee shop or restaurant.

  • Invoices are sent digitally (online) and accept payment by credit card. You may also pay by PayPal, Venmo or check. A non-refundable retainer of $50 and signed contract is required to book. The remainder is due 7 days before the session and you may make payments in any amount before that time. Digital images and prints will not be delivered until the invoice is paid in full.

  • I''m based in Glasgow, Kentucky and yes I love to travel! Locations in Barren and surrounding counties are included in the session fee. Locations beyond this require a minimal travel fee. Some locations are on my bucket list and will be fee-free, just cover my transportation, lodging and related expenses.

Photography Questions

  • I use a professional grade DSLR, lenses and software for my work. Lighting is natural, though sometimes I will use a flash or reflector for fill light if needed. Many images on my social media are taken with my iPhone.

  • Typically 2-4 weeks for sessions and 4-8 for events, however the date of delivery will depend on the number of images taken, how quickly the client selects their images for editing, advanced editing requests (such as object removal), time of year and number of projects in my queue. Rush editing can be purchased for an additional fee by request. Please inform me of deadlines prior to booking.

  • Yes! You will be provided unedited preview images in an online gallery so you can select the images you want edited (5, 10 or 20 depending on the collection). Additional images are $20ea or you can purchase the entire gallery for $299. Final (edited) digital images are delivered as a high resolution file suitable for web or printing up to 20x30 and will not be watermarked.

  • Photos are taken in the RAW format, which are essentially digital negatives. These image files are then backed up in multiple places and copied to Adobe Lightroom to be adjusted for color and clarity. Then files are individually opened in Adobe Photoshop and hand edited to remove blemishes. All images are minimally edited to retain the reality of the subject unless more extensive editing is requested by the client.

  • Once edited, images are uploaded into a password protected online gallery for your privacy. You will be provided with shareable link and password.
