FAQ

how would you describe your shooting and editing style?


Very candid and documentary in nature, with warm and earthy tones. I always try my best to match the coloring to be as close to true to color as possible, while also leaning towards a bright moody edit. Black and White images are high on the contrast, to really convey the moodiness of the image.

do you photograph plus size women for boudoir photos?


Absolutely, I photograph women of all shapes and sizes! My goal is to create a comfortable, empowering experience that highlights your unique beauty. Boudoir photography is about capturing confidence, strength, and personality. and I’m committed to ensuring you feel amazing no matter what.

I'm so ready! how does the booking process work with you?


I make the booking process easy and stress-free! Just send me a message through the contact form, and we’ll set up a time to chat about your wedding or portrait session. Once you're ready, I’ll send over a proposal where you can sign the contract and pay your retainer to secure your date.

FAQ

what is your turnaround time to get the photos back?


My standard turnaround time for delivering photos is about 2-3 weeks for portrait sessions and up to 10 weeks for weddings. This allows me to carefully edit each image and make sure everything meets the highest quality. I’ll keep you updated along the way, so you’ll know exactly when to expect your final gallery!

do you charge travel fees to come to my location?


Travel in the state of Iowa is always included, but I do charge travel fees for locations outside my local area. Fees are based on the distance and any necessary accommodations, especially for Destination Weddings. Tell me where your session will be, and I’d be happy to provide a detailed estimate for you. 

what is included in your pricing for weddings or portraits?


Pricing for Weddings and Portraits includes a fully customized experience, all edited digital images with a print release, and my detail-oriented approach. Upon booking, you'll receive a questionnaire to shape your session, and for weddings, a personalized timeline as well to keep us on track and as stress-free as possible.
