Inquire

1. Do you travel for sessions?

Absolutely! I am based in Brookings, South Dakota, but I love exploring new locations and traveling to serve clients. Travel fees may apply for locations outside my standard service area, and a custom quote will be provided before booking.

2. What should I wear to my session?

I always recommend wearing outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. Neutral tones, earthy colors, and timeless pieces photograph beautifully in outdoor settings. After booking, you'll receive guidance to help you coordinate outfits and prepare for your session.

3. What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Life happens, and I understand that plans can change. Sessions may be rescheduled due to weather, emergencies, or unforeseen circumstances. Please provide as much notice as possible if you need to reschedule. Retainer fees are non-refundable but may be transferred to a new session date at my discretion.

4. Do you offer digital files, prints, or albums?

Your final images will be delivered through a private online gallery where you can easily view, download, share, and favorite your photos. Every gallery includes high-resolution digital files with printing rights, allowing you to print and enjoy your images however you choose.

5. What happens if it rains?

We understand that weather doesn't always go according to plan! If unexpected weather affects your session, we'll work together to find the best solution. Depending on the conditions, we can discuss rescheduling or alternative options to ensure your experience is still everything you envisioned.

6. Can I request specific poses or shots?

Absolutely! I encourage clients to share their ideas and vision for their session. Once your session is booked, you're welcome to create a Pinterest board or send inspiration photos that reflect the style, poses, locations, and overall feel you're hoping to achieve. Reviewing these ideas beforehand allows me to better understand your preferences and ensure we capture the moments that are most important to you. Whether you have a detailed shot list, specific poses in mind, or just a general aesthetic you'd like to recreate, I will work closely with you to incorporate those ideas while also capturing natural, candid moments throughout the session.

7. How many photos will i RECEIVE?

Every session is unique, and the number of final images will depend on the type of session you've booked. You can expect a thoughtfully curated collection of professionally edited photographs that capture the best moments, details, and genuine emotions from your experience. Each image is carefully selected to tell your story beautifully.

8. When will i RECEIVE my gallery?

Turnaround time varies depending on the type, length, and location of your session, but most galleries are delivered within approximately two weeks. Larger sessions, special events, livestock coverage, or sessions with extensive travel may require additional editing time to ensure every image meets my quality standards. To keep you excited while your full gallery is being finalized, I guarantee a selection of sneak peek images within 72 hours for longer sessions. Once your gallery is complete, your professionally edited images will be delivered through a private online gallery where you can easily view, download, share, and preserve your memories. My goal is to provide not only beautiful images, but also a timely and enjoyable experience from start to finish.
