Do you Travel?
I do travel through out the midwest. however traveling outside of western north Dakota is limited to weekends. I have a full time job outside of my photography business so traveling depends on my work schedule. Reach out and I will let you know if I am available to travel for you!
How long have you been doing this?
I have been a photographer since 2013. I did take a break for a couple years to focus on my career but when I moved to North Dakota I had more free time to focus on my photography.
How many photos do we get?
I am a chronic over deliverer, each session type or package type has a set number of minimum photos you will receive. For a 30 minute family session I promise a minimum of 25 photos and the amount of photos delivered per session goes up from there.
How do we get our photos?
I use an online gallery system to deliver your photos. Each session will be kept for 1 year in the online gallery. Make sure to download and save all of your photos! Once your photos are downloaded you can print them where ever you would like or you can buy high quality prints through my gallery
Whats your turn around time?
My turn around time depends on the type of session. For family, seniors, engagements, & headshots the turn around time is 3-4 weeks.
For wedding my turn around time is 8-10 weeks. I do deliver sneak peaks for weddings with in a week of the ceremony.
How do we book you?
To book me please reach out by clicking the "get in touch" button anywhere on my website. Once you fill out the inquiry form, I will reach out and send you a brochure of my services and we can figure out what best suits your needs. A contract and a nonrefundable deposit are required to confirm the booking of your session.
Can you help us with planning?
Yes I can help you with planning! Please reach out with any questions or things you need help with!
How far out do you book?
I book sessions for some clients 6 months in advance, weddings can be booked 12-18 months in advance. Please reach out as soon as possible if you'd like to book a session. I only schedule a limited number of weddings and sessions each month. My schedule is usually full 2 to 3 months in advance.
What should we do for an engagement session?
I recommend an hour to an hour or more for engagement sessions. That gives us time for more than one outfit and we can change locations. plan the session to show your favorite things if you have horses bring them! if you have a dog in your life bring them! reach out to me and I can help you plan your perfect engagement session!
What should we wear?
Wear what you are comfortable in. You don't want to feel uncomfortable while you are infront of the camera. For my editing style I do recommend not wearing red or purple but all other colors are great!
For family photos don't try to match too much, wear colors that work well with each other not everyone needs to be in the same color.
For engagement photos i recommend wearing one long dress and then a casual outfit. If you have more outfits great! Try not to have too bold of patterns, extremely bold patterns draw the eye to the outfit instead of the people in the photo.
Seniors, wear your favorite outfits and then throw in a nicer outfit or two. for girls throw in a couple dresses, for boys a nice button down shirt.
