Frequently Asked Questions (for small sessions)
How does the payment process work?
Your deposit is paid online through your booking link, then an invoice will be sent to your email with a payment link for your final payment, which is due 3 days before your session.
What should we wear?
I have an inspiration board of outfits that I am more than happy to send your way. If you're needing additional help, I would love to assist with shopping your closet or send links to pieces that would look great on you AND in your photos.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! Your deposit will need to be paid in full, since that's what holds your date. I'm more than willing to work with you on a payment plan for the remainder of the cost.
Do you offer discounts?
I do waive my travel fees for anyone that books a destination session in a location I'm already traveling to. Make sure to check out my travel dates!
We just need a few pictures. Can we book a shorter session?
I am currently only offering full sessions & have retired mini sessions for the foreseeable future.
What if it rains?
I try to use my best judgement when calling the session based on the weather. You will be granted one reschedule based on my availability.
Where are you located?
I live in Northeast Iowa (the Cedar Valley--Waterloo, Cedar Falls & surrounding).
Do you travel?
I do! Near, far, wherever you are--I'll be there. Destination packages automatically include my travel fees, so it's one less thing for you to stress about.
Can we have the RAW (unedited) images?
Nope! Editing is something I hold near and dear to my heart. It's a huge part of my art and enhancing the storytelling aspect of your photos.
Will we get any posed photos?
Absolutely! I like to do a mix of lifestyle/documentary and posed/portraiture.
Will you photoshop us?
I will edit out anything that would naturally be gone in a couple weeks (blemishes, bruises, scrapes & scratches). I will not photoshop your bodies in any way.
How many images will we get back?
You can expect at least 50 images per 60 minutes of shooting. Please trust that I'm delivering all the best images in your final gallery.
When can we expect our images back?
For small sessions (family, maternity, portraits) you can plan on images being in your inbox within 3-4 weeks (but I'm usually MUCH faster). Weddings are delivered within 6-8 weeks.

I am currently not accepting weddings with guest lists larger than 25 guests. However, if you love my style, I would love to connect you with a photographer with a similar style to mine.
