Do you Travel?
I am based out of O'ahu. I will travel within the United States, but my travel expenses will be covered by the client.
How do we get our photos?
When your gallery is finished, I will send you an email with a link to gallery. The gallery will require a password for you to access it.
Do you retouch photos?
I professionally edit each and every photo for you! I will not alter your body shape or characteristics at all (for example, I will not make your waist look smaller), but I will edit the lighting and colors of your portraits. I will also get rid of any distractions (such as people or cars) in the background.
Whats your turn around time?
My turn-around time is 2 weeks for regular sessions and 4-6 weeks for elopements.
How long have you been doing this?
I have always had a passion for art and photography, but I finally took the leap and started my own business in 2021.
How do we book you?
Send me an inquiry email under the "Contact" tab! I'll guide you from there. I can't wait to hear about your vision and ensure I will be the best fit for you and your loved ones.
Can you help us pose? We're awkward in front of the camera!
Of course, this is my job! I will help you feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera. I will give you fun prompts for poses and base your poses off of your comfort level. No stiff posing here- we'll play games and get your genuine smiles and laughs flowing.
Are you willing to hike to a photo spot?
Ummm yes!! I love to hike, and I would love to pack my backpack and hike to a secret spot for a gorgeous session.
What should we wear?
You should wear something that you feel confidant and comfortable in! When it comes to colors, neutral and earth-toned colors make for the best photos. I will send you a personalized style guide so you can pick out the perfect outfit.
What if I'm looking for something other than a couple, maternity, portrait, or family session?
I would love to work something out with you! If I feel comfortable taking this project on, I will work with you to creatively capture the photos of your dreams. If it's too big of a project for me, I will recommend other incredible local photographers who offer that service.
Do you offer any discounts?
Stay tuned on my social media pages for promotions and styled mini sessions that I will hold throughout the year.
Where do you take the photos?
I prefer to take all of my photos in outdoor settings; however, if you are interested in an in-home shoot (for example, a newborn or couple session), I would love to do that for you!
Are pets allowed?
Of course! Pets are a big part of your life, and they should be in your photos, too. As long as the location allows pets, PLEASE bring your fur babies!
It's just too expensive for now...
No worries! Depending on your financial needs, I can always work with you to create a planned payment schedule. This way, your payments can be broken up into chunks, rather than one big payment. *All payments are due 14 days before the date of your session.
What is your retainer fee?
$150 is due at the time of booking for any session, and it is non-refundable. This will go towards the total cost of your session, and it will secure your date.
What is your back-up process?
My camera allows me to capture your photos on 2 memory cards. If 1 fails, there's already a back-up readily available with your photos on it. All photos are downloaded onto an external hard-drive immediately following your session. Your finalized gallery will live on an external hard-drive forever (just in case). I always recommend backing up your own photos as soon as you receive them!
How long will we have access to our online gallery?
You'll have access to your gallery for 1 month following that date you receive it. You'll get a reminder email 2 days before the gallery's expiration date.
