LIFESTYLE (COUPLES, FAMILIES & IDIVIDUALS) FAQ’S
LIFESTYLE:
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK?
As early as 2 weeks in advance.
DO YOU TRAVEL?
Depending on availability I’ll travel to a destination or out of the area at an additional cost.
CAN I HAVE THE RAW UNEDITED FILES?
Raw files aren't available for viewing or purchase. All images that are given in the final delivery meet my quality mark and reflect my editing style.
HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT POSTING CLIENT WORK?
I post every session I shoot. I love sharing my work, however, I understand that some people may want privacy. Tell me if you’re not comfortable before or at your shoot.
ARE YOU FULLY INSURED?
Yes, I have professional insurance to cover every aspect of my photography services.
CAN YOU EDIT MY PHOTOS IN A DIFFERENT WAY?
If you’re not in love with my editing style then I may not be the photographer for you. I work with natural light and move towards cooler tones with a warm or glowy finish.
WHAT’S YOUR PAYMENT SCHEDULE?
To secure your session I require a signed contract and a deposit at the time of purchase. The remaining amount of the invoice must be paid no later than seven days before the session date.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY PHOTOS?
Most galleries are completed and delivered online within 2-3 weeks
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU GET SICK OR INJURED AND CAN’T PHOTOGRAPH ME?
On the very unlikely chance that I am unable to carry out your session, I will provide you with a photographer that is at the same level or superior to me. This has never happened, however, so I can assure you, that you are in safe hands.
DO I GET THE COPYRIGHT TO MY PHOTOS?
Any photographs captured by me fall under and be protected by my copyright as my artistic work. Upon delivery, I provide my clients with a print release form covering sharing rights also.
WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE?
You may reschedule your photoshoot date once at no cost to you, after which you must pay a fee equal to 50% of the session fee each time you wish to further change the photoshoot date. Please try to give me as much time as possible if you wish to change the photoshoot date to avoid disappointment.
Occasionally I need to reschedule due to weather conditions and other events outside of my control, in this case, I will give you as much notice as possible and no extra fees will occur.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL?
It’s your legal right to a cooling-off period. You have 14 days after your booking is accepted to cancel your photoshoot. The deposit paid is non-refundable however any further installments will be refunded back to you if the cancellation falls within the 14 days.
If cancellation takes place within the 14-day cooling-off period AFTER we have started the session already, payment for services up until the time you notify us that you have changed your mind is legally required.
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I GET?
The amount of photos provided in each session package is listed in each package description.
DO YOU INSTRUCT FOR POSING? I’M KIND OF AWKWARD/UNPHOTOGENIC.
I do. I prioritize making you look comfortable, natural, and relaxed in front of the camera. If you're a little shy or awkward, I’ll talk you through it.
CAN YOU SHOOT IN RAIN OR BAD WEATHER?
I can if you’re okay with it! I have protectors for my equipment in case of a light drizzle, those shots can be so beautiful and dreamy! However, if the weather is particularly bad, very wet, windy, and dangerous, it’s better to reschedule.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY?
Real. I just want to capture you as you are, I don’t like to do too much to change anyone. If you have a look at my client reviews, my sweet, sweet clients have said this transcends to give my photos a romantic, intimate, nostalgic, and warm feel.
WHAT PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I shoot using Canon equipment, my favorite setup to use is my Canon EOS R Mirrorless with my 70-200mm zoom lens or 50mm prime lens.
WHY DID YOU BECOME A PHOTOGRAPHER?
I’ve always been creative, I’ve gone from musical theater to writing, to social media marketing to content creating. I thrive in creative species and I love being able to get creative with photography, telling stories, and evoking emotion through the lens that can be keepsakes for years to come.
