how I work

Everybody look at their best when they are happy and relaxed. This goes for the bride as well as for the little baby.
Just by telling you to walk, hold hans, kiss, cuddle, run, you will soon have forgotten that I am there. This way I will get that moment of a natural smile, a look, a kiss, a child’s play.
My main concern is to make your photo session a positive experience, this ensures for the best images possible.
If you have any ideas of your own do not be afraid to tell me.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE ?
How much I charge is all subject to your needs, however for weddings I always recommend at least 8 hour of coverage. Due to the facts that I like to tell the whole story of your day.
I have different albums and options available, so we can taylor a package to fit you exact needs and wishes for your big day.

Family portraits: I have the same fee for all individual portrait sessions. That is: senior portraits, family portraits, maternity, baby, engagement sessions, boudoir.
There are two different options either on location or in studio portraits available.

WHEN WILL I GET MY IMAGES ?
For weddings your online proofing gallery will be up online 3-4 weeks after the wedding date.
As for family portraits your images will be available to you 1-2 weeks after session.

HOW MANY IMAGES DO I GET ?
For wedding I average 50 images/ hour ready and proofed (remember, less is more). Portrait session you will receive 50-80 proofed images.

WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND YOU CAN NOT SHOOT THE WEDDING?
I have it included in the contract that in such a case, I am obligated to provide a photographer to you of equal quality. This way you can be sure of that you have a photographer for your wedding day.

DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT ?
Yes I do require a deposit of $500, this is a non refundable fee to reserve your date. After paid deposit I split the bill into partial payments. The last payment is due upon printing of your wedding album.

WHY DO YOU INCLUDE AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION IN THE PRICE?
The engagement session is a getting to know you session. This way on the wedding day you are already familiar with how I work. I will also know you better, what angles, poses works for you.

WHY SO MANY HOURS ?
I always like to show up at least 1.5-2 hours before the actual ceremony starts. This way I have time to take pictures of all the details. The bride getting ready, bridal portraits, bride + bridesmaids. After the ceremony (most of the time), we do family portraits (30 min.). Then it is time for the whole bridal party and individual pictures of bride and groom (30-40 min.)
At the reception we do entrance, first dance, speeches, cutting of cake and all the small and big moments of the party.

As you can see before you and I know it 8 hour will have gone by.

Pleas contact me for any additional questions or to set up your appointment.
I would love to meet you to talk about YOUR day.
Cheers!!!
