One thing I do promise is to over deliver (lol) no but really though - it never fails. Each package technically varies in how many images are delivered but I always promise that I’ll include plenty of images throughout our whole time together. I promise to capture your memories fully and give you more than enough to look back on and cherish.

Q: Do you give out raw images?
Q: Do you give out raw images?
Q: Do you give out raw images?
A:
No. I do not believe in giving out raw images as I believe editing is half the magic and what makes hiring me as your photographer unique. The raw images are no where close to being done in my eyes and I would never want to send out that work. I try to include all the pictures that I think you’ll want/need but if there was ever any picture you were looking for or you feel as I accidentally left out, please feel free to ask!! I’ll be more than happy to check back through my images and get them to you if I have them! I am human and I do make mistakes (I know weird right lol) but I'll never let you miss out on memories!

Q: What is your backup process for our photos?
A:
The camera that I shoot on is dual SD card, meaning every picture I take is being taken and kept twice, one on one card and one on the other. As soon as I leave our time together, I go home and upload those photos on my solid state drive and I hold onto both of the sd cards until a week after I have delivered your album.
