Frequently asked questions

WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?

Within 12 weeks for most weddings and within 4 weeks for most portraits.

Do you take any posed photos on a wedding day?

Absolutely. I will always save time for some formal portraits of you two, your wedding party, and immediate family. I know that these photos are important and don't want to discourage them. I'll give direction and guidance when necessary during your allotted portrait time to ensure you look and feel your best, but for most of the day I want things to unfold naturally so you can remember your day without any artificially created moments.

DO YOU TRAVEL?

I take on a limited amount of weddings outside of the Central VA and DMV area every year. Inquire to see if I'm available for your date.

What's the investment?

I create tailored packages for each client. My years of experience have taught me that no two weddings ever run the same and everyone has different needs and wants. Wedding day pricing begins at $5000 for full day film and digital coverage in the Charlottesville and Richmond, VA area. Most clients invest anywhere from $5,000 - $7,500.

Can we book you for family photos?

Short answer- yes! Long answer- not your "matching khakis and button-downs, look here and say cheese, everyone has an awful time" kinda family pictures. I have you pick an activity as a family that you like to do (I've had everything from baking cookies to building sandcastles on the beach) and will photograph that to get some genuine memories and smiles. My previous career working at a summer camp (both as a counselor and year-round staff) has given me a soft spot for working with kids. I love allowing them the opportunity to be themselves and have fun instead of creating stuffy portraits. You won't find any galleries or portfolios of my family work publicly available because I do everything I can to help children keep their autonomy and not put photos of them online. If you are interested in booking a family session with me, I am more than happy to share a private gallery so you can get a feel for what the final product looks like. Family "lifestyle" sessions begin at $250 for 30 minutes.
