Question 1

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

I’m located in Chicago in the Logan Square area but I’ll travel anywhere you would like to go!

Question 2

Do you work with LGBTQ+ couples?

Accepted Answer

Yes! As a member of the community myself, I’m always so excited to work with LGBTQ+ couples & make sure all of my contracts + forms are completely gender-free & ask for your pronouns so that everybody can be comfortable + referred to properly during their session!

Question 3

My venue requires vendors to have insurance, do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I do! More than happy to send over proof of insurance for anyone who needs it!

Question 4

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

Question 5

How do you backup your files?

Accepted Answer

I’m sure we’ve all heard horror stories about photographers losing irreplaceable images due to equipment failures, I do everything in my power to make sure this never happens! Every camera I use during a session saves all images taken onto two different memory cards at once & I import them the second I get home! After importing, I keep one set on my laptop, one set on my external hard drive, & one set in cloud storage so that if anything were to happen, I still have a backup I can access. I also will never use a memory card for another session until your photos have been fully edited & delivered.

Question 6

Do you offer a second photographer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer packages both with and without them! My husband Jake is my second most of the time! In the case that he is not available for your wedding day, I do have a handful of other photographers I work with regularly and I’ll be able to let you know about 1 week out who your second is going to be so you at least know names!

Question 7

I've never done professional photos before, how does a session work?

Accepted Answer

Being in front of a camera is scary at first for everybody. I’m personally SO awkward in photos and can understand your struggle. Because of that, I keep all of my sessions fun and full of movement to get rid of some of those awkward feelings! I’ll never tell you exactly how to stand, physically change the way you’re doing anything, etc. instead I use posing prompts and ques to have your genuine emotions and personality show through the photos!

Question 8

How many photos do I get? Are they all edited?

Accepted Answer

This varies from event to event but on average you’ll receive 50-100 fully edited images per hour of coverage!

Question 9

Can I order prints from you?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I love when I get to supply prints! You get a personalized print store with your gallery + all prints get delivered by yours truly!

Question 10

What if the weather is bad on my wedding day?

Accepted Answer

We can’t control the weather so I prefer to just embrace if for your big day! Wind, rain, clouds, or snow all have the potential to add personality to your photos! *within reason If it’s unsafe for you, me, or my gear, we’ll either 1. Find some cute umbrellas or 2. Find a cozy indoor spot somewhere!

Question 11

Do we feed you at the wedding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please! I keep snacks and water on me to keep me going since I’ll be on my feet all day but while you + your partner are eating, my second + I will too so we don’t miss a beat! We ask that you coordinate that with your caterer as well.

Question 12

When will I receive my photos?

Accepted Answer

You’ll be sent a preview of your photos within 24hrs of your wedding + then you’ll receive the full online gallery with digital download + printing rights 6-8 weeks after your wedding day!

Question 13

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. I can absolutely send you recommendations for videographers I love tho!
