FAQs

What should I wear?

I have a great ‘What to Wear’ guide that comes with each booking.

It’s my pride and joy! Years worth of tips, shop links, and products for photo ready makeup!

What if it rains?

If it’s raining on an event day we will ROCK IT and come out with beautiful images, trust me!

If there’s rain on the forecast for a session day, we will wait until the day of and I will make the call for the

reschedule about 2 hours before the scheduled time. I have been in plenty of situations where the forecast

was actually wrong or there was no rain at our location choice, so I would rather wait and see!

Can you do photography and videography at a wedding?

I have partnered with Voigt Media to offer The Bundle!

I also offer Ceremony Recording for $250 that can be added on to your photography package!

How much is the deposit/retainer and how do we pay you?

All payments are credit or debit transactions through Square, Inc.

Sessions and events require a non-refundable retainer equal to 1/4th of the total.

Contracts and invoices are sent to the email you provide me with during booking.

Once we check off those two boxes- it’s official!

All final payments are due by the the scheduled session or event day and are sent out the week of.

Do you travel?

I am up for absolutely ANYTHING!

$1.00 per mile will apply to sessions 20 miles outside of Cedar Rapids (Calculated from 52405).

Travel and lodging fees will apply for weddings outside of Eastern Iowa.

Further than 2 hours requires a 2 night stay (night before and night of the event).

Images are delivered via Pixieset and videos are delivered via Google Drive.

You have full rights to share your images and videos & print release is always provided!

I do not share unedited files, I only deliver edited images.

It is important to be sure that you like my editing and shooting style before booking.

I will not share RAW files with clients under any circumstance, thank you for understanding.

How long is the turn-around to receive our photos?

Session photos will be delivered in 2 weeks or less and events are delivered within 8 weeks!

Will you make me look good?

Of course! I do everything in my power to capture you in the most flattering poses, light and expression.

But if you’re asking about photoshop, I’m sorry, I will not edit more than skin and small wardrobe malfunctions.

I am in love with capturing authentic and real images, trust me, you are going to look GREAT!
