The FAQ
Do you Travel?
I do! Local travel is including in session fee. Travel outside of the Kitimat-Terrace area may be subject to travel fees.
Out of country travel available by request, depending on location may include free services with cost of travel covered.
How long have you been doing this?
I bought my first DSLR in 2022 while in school, and having been doing part time photography since.
How many photos do we get?
Number of photos is dependent on session length and number of people, each session type outlines how many you'll receive.
Extended sessions, weddings and elopements include full digital galleries.
How do we get our photos?
Your photos will be delivered to your email with a link to your online gallery. From there, you can download your photos with the provided PIN, share the link with friends/family, share to social media, and order prints.
Sneak peeks are sent via IMessage (if client does not have an IPhone sneaks are delivered via the online gallery).
Photos are available for download up to 6 months after the gallery is delivered.
Do you retouch photos?
The images in your gallery will be edited to improve lighting, contrast, sharpness, and color — all of which is a standard process for digital photographers. Therefore, I do not provide the unedited RAW images. I will not alter your body unless specifically asked, and within reason, I am not going to change the way you look or remove permanent marks. I will however remove blemishes/pimples/flyaways at my discretion. Overall I want you to look like you.
Whats your turn around time?
Turn around time is dependent on the type of session. Portrait sessions generally range from 2-4 weeks based on length of session. Weddings/elopements range from 4-8 weeks.
All time ranges are subject to change.
How do we book you?
Fill out the "contact us" form based I will reach out to you.
Can you help us with planning?
Absolutely! Whatever you need help with. From planning a portrait sessions to planning the wedding. I'm here to answer any questions and provide recommendations.
How far out do you book?
Portrait sessions can be booked up to one year in advance, with some exceptions upon request. Weddings can be booked up to three years in advance.
Should we do an engagement session?
I highly recommend an engagement session with your wedding photographer before the big day! It’s an opportunity to get used to being behind the camera with your partner as well as getting to know your photographer! It's like a trial run of your photographer before the big day. I recommend choosing a location that is meaningful to you — perhaps an area you and your partner visit every year, a beautiful park where you walk often, or even the top of a mountain (I’m always up for an adventure)!
Most of my wedding packages include an engagement session, or offer a heavily discounted one.
What should we wear?
I always suggest neutral tones, no bright colours or busy patterns. Upon booking I will send you an outfit guide to help with ideas/suggestions.
What services do you offer?
I offer photography services for weddings and elopements, individual and couple portraits, engagement sessions, family, newborn, maternity, boudoir and special events such as graduations. All sessions are on-location of your choice, and my work is created by natural outdoor lighting rather than an indoor studio. If you have an idea or vision that is not listed here, contact me today and I’d love to hear about what you have in mind
