questions
IT ALL REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT IT IS. I WILL EDIT OUT ANY IMPERFECTIONS AS IN BLEMISHES OR STAINS, BUT I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT PHOTOSHOP SOMEONE'S PHYSICAL FEATURES. I FIND THAT AMERICA HAS SUCH A TERRIBLE OUTLOOK ON SELF/BODY IMAGE AND I DO NOT WANT TO ADD TO THAT. KNOW THAT I FIND YOU BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY GOD MADE YOU, AND I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHANGING THAT IN THE TINIEST BIT. I HOPE AFTER YOU RECEIVE YOUR GALLERY, YOU CAN SEE THE BEAUTY IN YOU THAT I DO. I DO SIMPLE HEAD SWAPS!
I DO NOT! I LOVE OVERSHOOTING. I CAN'T HELP CLICKING THAT LITTLE BUTTON AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. BUT THIS TENDS TO LEAVE ME WITH THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS, AND NOT ALL GOOD ONES. SOME ARE BLURRY, SOME ARE OUT OF FOCUS, SOME YOU'RE PULLING THE WEIRDEST FACES-- I'D RATHER NOT SHARE THOSE. INSTEAD, I'D MUCH RATHER CULL THROUGH AND PICK OUT THE VERY BEST ONES BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'LL LOVE THEM ALL INSTEAD OF JUST A FEW.
Q: WILL YOU TRAVEL TO US IF YOU'RE NOT LOCATED NEAR US?
10000000% YES! I LOVE TRAVELING FOR WEDDINGS AND BEING INCLUDED IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT DAY NO MATTER WHERE IT IS! I DO HAVE ADDITIONAL TRAVEL FEES TO COVER AIRFARE/FOOD/LODGING. CHECK OUT MY BUCKET LIST FOR PLACES WHERE I'LL SHOOT YOUR WEDDING FOR FREE AS LONG AS YOU COVER MY TRAVEL!
Q: DO YOU GIVE CLIENTS YOUR RAW IMAGES?
I DO NOT. I BELIEVE IF YOU'RE HIRING A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, YOU'RE HIRING THEM NOT ONLY FOR THEIR INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE BUT ALSO THEIR CREATIVE AND ARTISTIC VISION. IT'S SO MUCH MORE
THAN JUST SLAPPING A FILTER ON A PHOTO AND CALLING IT GOOD. IT'S SHOWCASING A CRAFT
I'VE WORKED ON FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS. I LOVE WHEN COUPLES INQUIRE WITH ME FOR MY ART
RATHER THAN MY PRICING OR JUST NEEDING SOMEONE TO SNAP SOME PICS. Plus, raw photos
literally take up soooo muchhhhh spaaaaace. i promise you don't want all of them.

Q: WHAT KIND OF GEAR WILL YOU BRING WITH YOU?
I'M A CANON GIRLY, SO I'LL HAVE MY TRUSTy CANON 5D MARK IV! I HAVE A 35MM LENS THAT IS MY WORKHORSE. I DON'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT THAT, BUT I'LL ALSO PACK AROUND A 24-70MM FOR THOSE MORE INTIMATE CEREMONY SHOTS. I'LL HAVE AN EXTRA CAMERA BODY WITH ME IN CASE Mine STARTS TO ACT UP, AS WELL AS A MILLION SD CARDS TO MAKE SURE I HAVE ALL THE STORAGE WE'LL NEED! A FLASH FOR THOSE DARKER HOURS WHEN THE PARTY IS STILL HOPPIN, AND WE'RE ALL GOOD TO GO. ONCE THE DAY IS DONE, I'LL HEAD HOME AND BACK IT ALL UP TWICE SO I DON'T RISK LOSING ANY PART OF YOUR PRECIOUS DAY!
Q: DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS?
DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION. I DON'T NECESSARILY GIVE OUT DISCOUNTS BUT I'LL TRY TO OUT DO MYSELF AND GIVE YOU MORE IMAGES THAN WHAT I QUOTE IN THE BEGINNING. SOMETIMES I'LL THROW IN FREE PRINTS, OR SOME EXTRA GOODIES, BECAUSE I LOVE GIVING BACK TO MY LOYAL PEEPS.
THIS IS ALSO MORE THAN A HOBBY, THIS IS MY JOB AND HOW I HELP PAY THOSE PESKY BILLS TO LIVE, SO INSTEAD OF DISCOUNTS, I'LL OFFER MINI SESSIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WHICH TECHNICALLY ARE DISCOUNTED SESSIONS WITH LESS PHOTOS AND TIME WHERE YOU CAN GET ALL THE PHOTOS YOU'RE HOPING FOR AS WELL.
