Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you serve?
I’m based in Richmond, Virginia, and primarily serve the Richmond metropolitan area. I also cover Central Virginia, including Charlottesville and Fredericksburg, where I’ve previously lived and worked. For weddings and special sessions, I’m open to traveling throughout Virginia for an additional travel fee.
What rights do I have to the photos?
You’ll receive a personal print release with your digital images, allowing you to print, share online, and use the photographs for personal purposes. I maintain the copyright as the creator, which allows me to use images for my portfolio, social media, and marketing materials, but I’m not precious about credit. My priority is creating images you’ll love and use freely.
How do your payments work?
For portrait sessions, full payment is required upfront to secure your session date. For weddings, I require a 50% non-refundable deposit to reserve your date, with the remaining balance due before the final images are delivered. This ensures I can focus on creating beautiful imagery for you without administrative concerns. All edited digital images are delivered once the final payment has been received.
How do you approach location and styling for portrait sessions?
While I’m happy to provide guidance, the most meaningful sessions start with your ideas. I encourage clients to consider locations that are significant to them and styling that reflects their authentic personality. Let’s collaborate on creating images that tell your unique story—whether that’s your favorite hiking trail, family home, or urban setting that speaks to you.
How long until we receive our photos?
I pride myself on timely delivery. Portrait sessions are typically delivered within 2-3 weeks via an online gallery. Weddings are delivered within 4-6 weeks, depending on the season. Your gallery remains active for one year, allowing ample time to download, share, and order prints. Need your images sooner for a special reason? Just let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
