Frequently Asked Questions
or just an FYI ;)
How do we book with you?
Send me a message through my website! You should hear back from me within24-48 hours, and we can plan your dream shoot! Once we finalize details, I send you a contract + invoice to reserve your date. I require a 50% deposit.
How do I book a studio?
I love studios! Some of my faves: Studio C, Aqui, Tacoma Photo, & Olive Seattle. Once you pick a studio, time and place, you'll navigate to that website and reserve your spot. Remember to do this in advance/while you schedule with me, to avoid any issues.
What do I wear?
Whatever feels most comfortable and "you"!
However, outfits definitely can add to the *vibes*, so I will try give you some advice based on the location and style of the shoot if you need any!
Will you pose me/us?
Absolutely! That is my job, to make you (+ whoever you're with) comfortable and at ease the entire shoot. I will give you [both] prompts that match the venue we're at! I also try to capture as many candid moments as possible, so just be yourself.
What do you shoot with?
For all shoots, I will have my Canon 5D IV body + lens, and an exact duplicate kit. For weddings and elopements I'll have all of that + flash (x2), and any add-on cameras if applicable. Rest assured I will always take backup bodies, SD cards and batteries to every photoshoot or event!
Can we bring our pets?
Yes absolutely!! They are part of the family, so just give me a heads up. If it's a location where they aren't allowed, I'll definitely let you know prior.
(ie; Rainier National Park trails)
How would you describe your photography style?
Very candid, movement-forward, and storytelling. How can I have you, your partner or family interact with the environment you're in, so the photos don't feel over-posed or stiff? That is my primary objective, to use the space we're in as much as possible to tell this story!
I also have been studying cinematography to capture and harness emotion in a more powerful way by framing and cropping, using composition and color to my advantage.
