FAQs
The answers to your questions
When will we get our photos back?
Sorting through 100s of photos and making edits takes time. You can typically expect preview images within a few days, and your full gallery within 2-3 weeks. I will communicate if there are any expected delays.
What's your cancellation/rescheduling policy?
Please see the Booking Fees/Cancellations/Rescheduling/Tardiness section below.
Do you include digital files?
Each package comes with a set amount of digital files included at no additional cost. More digital images can be purchased. Prints are also available for purchase, but are not included in the packages.
How much are your photography services?
Please see my "services" page for pricing information. If you have further questions on how to purchase additional images, prints, or booking a custom session, reach out to me through the "contact" page!
Do I get the copyright/ownership of my photos?
I retain the copyright and ownership to all images I take. However, when you book a session or purchase additional digital files, you retain the right to copy, print, and share those images as you please.
Can I have the RAW (unedited) files?
While I will happily provide a proof gallery to you for selecting images for retouching, I cannot provide RAW files. You will receive the retouched images for your use, as these are the final product and properly reflect the quality of my work that is reflected in my portfolio. If you have any specific editing requests, I am more than happy to discuss and make adjustments!
Where do you shoot? Do you have an indoor studio?
I currently shoot in Wright County/West Metro/Minneapolis area at no additional fee. We can absolutely discuss further travel sessions for an additional travel fee. Certain distances will require the "custom" package that begins at a minimum of $500. At the moment I shoot in all kinds of natural light and outdoor locations. I don't currently offer any studio sessions. When you book, we will discuss your hopes and wants for location and brainstorm the best options for your needs!
BOOKING FEES / CANCELLATIONS / RESCHEDULING / TARDINESS
BOOKING FEES: All sessions require a deposit of 25% at the time of scheduling to reserve your date. This is NON-REFUNDABLE, NO EXCEPTIONS.

CANCELLATIONS: Cancellation will result in the forfeiture of your deposit. Deposits cover initial communication, date reservations, planning, and location research. I understand that life happens, people get sick, or unforeseen events take place. I am happy to help you reschedule your session date, and will use my discretion in certain circumstances.

RESCHEDULING: In case of the need to reschedule, your deposit will be held and used towards your rescheduled session. 3 or more reschedules may result in the forfeiture of your deposit, and an additional booking fee will be charged to reserve a date. Please try to give 48 hrs notice. If you fall ill on the day of your session, please reach out to reschedule. In cases of weather, we will use our discretion to decide whether a rescheduled date will be needed at no penalty.

TARDINESS: Plan ahead and assure you have enough time to arrive to your session destination. In cases of traffic or other delays, please call and let me know. I want to make sure you get the most out of your session – if you are 20 minutes late into your hour appointment time, you will be allotted 40 minutes, if you are 30 minutes late to your hour session, you will be allotted 30 minutes and so on.
