FAQ

Do you travel?

Yes please! I'm based in Boston, but I'll pretty much go anywhere and will offer discounted travel fees for all types of sessions to my wish list (YES THAT'S YOU TOO, FAMILIES!), especially if I get multiple bookings in one trip:
- US national parks
-Charleston, SC
- Banff
- Scotland
- Azores
- NZ
- Faroe Islands
Inquire to see if your destination is on my list!

HOW DO TRAVEL COSTS WORK?

When you inquire about a travel session or wedding, I include my travel fee in the final price so you aren't surprised later.

WHAT IF MY KIDS WON'T SIT STILL DURING FAMILY PHOTOS?

I want you to be able to look back at your photos years to come and say "remember when he always made that face?", and for your images to not just look pretty, but make you remember how the best parts of how parenthood feels. We will get some camera aware photos in the beginning of the session and then let the kids be kids that usually end up being my client's favorites. I usually spend some time when we first meet getting to know your kiddos and letting them get comfortable with me. Most of the time, kids end up asking me if I will come over for dinner! We will also chat about choosing a location/activity to do together that will bring out your favorite parts of your children's personalities.

WHAT KIND OF GEAR DO YOU USE?

WHAT IF MY KIDDO HAS A GIANT MELTDOWN WHEN WE'RE TAKING PHOTOS?

My natural patience and skills I learned as a teacher means I am not ruffled one bit by a meltdown... I've seen EVERYTHING. I also know that you know your kiddos and are the best person to handle it, but I'll be waiting and ready with my camera for the snuggles after.

WE WANT TO BOOK YOU! WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Woo hoo! Fill out the contact form or email me directly. I'll make a contract, invoice you electronically for the deposit and I'm all yours!

YOU HAVE A LOT OF UNPOSED MOMENTS IN YOUR WEDDING GALLERIES—DO YOU TAKE TRADITIONAL ONES TOO?

Of course! I love to snag those natural moments, and choose to highlight them on this platform because they are the most emotional, but also know the posed more classic images are important too! We will work together to build in time for both in your wedding day timeline.

ARE YOU INSURED?

You betcha!

I LOVE BLACK & WHITE PHOTOS. DO YOU INCLUDE BOTH COLOR AND BLACK & WHITE PHOTOS IN THE FINAL GALLERY?

Yes yes yes! I love the timelessness of black and white photos, and know that sometimes you just need to see both versions!

If you're interested in a black and white only session, I offer a discounted price... just make sure to let me know in your inquiry form!


HOW MANY WEDDINGS DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH IN A YEAR?

I take on a limited amount of weddings to give the best client experience and reserve time for other projects I love! This year, I'm documenting 12 sets of vows.

HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?

To reserve your wedding date, I require a 1/3 non-refundable deposit due at signing of the contract. I'm happy to work with a payment timeline for the rest that works best for you... most couples choose to split into thirds.

WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO MY WEDDING?

This would only happen under extreme circumstances (death, illness, force majeure). If this were to happen, I would try my best to find a replacement with a similar aesthetic and level of professionalism. I would edit their images in my same style so your final gallery is cohesive. If I couldn't make it, your payments would be refunded.


CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP US?

I only fix small skin blemishes or small distracting elements in the environment. Please let me know if there's something that concerns you!
