DOES MY SESSION INCLUDE PRINTS, PRODUCTS OR DIGITAL IMAGES? 

Your session fees cover my time, talent, props and full edited images in an online gallery. It does include a private online gallery. It does not include any prints or products. hose are sold separately in create your own collection packages or a la carte. You are under no obligation to purchase any prints or products from your gallery. 
 
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SESSION?

I highly recommend starting the process at least 2-3 months prior to when you'd like to have your session. For senior sessions, please make note of your yearbook deadline to ensure ample time to get your images back in time. 

WHEN WILL MY IMAGES BE READY? 

Within 2-3 weeks of your session, your gallery will be ready for viewing and the optional ordering of prints and products. I will also share some images from our evening together within 24 hours of your session.

HOW DO WE CHOOSE A LOCATION? 
 
We've got an entire client guide dedicated to things like this! There's a page specifically filled with local locations and example images from those locations. Before your session you will receive a questionnaire that will help us learn more about you and your vision



WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE MY SESSION?

Please notify me as soon as possible if you are ill or have a family emergency so we can reschedule. 

WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?

With every session I keep an eye on the weather the day of. The weather man is not entirely accurate. If there is rain in the forecast, depending on the amount predicted I will make a decision based on that. 

HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?

It depends on the package you book! 

WHY DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I PRINT THROUGH YOU?

I cannot guarantee the quality of the products that come from photo centers like Walgreens, Walmart and the like. I have printed through the service that is connected through my gallery and trust their quality. 

WHAT TIME OF DAY SHOULD WE SCHEDULE THE SHOOT?

I shoot my sessions within. 1-2 hours prior to sunset or after sunrise as it gives the optimal light for beautiful images. 

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE LOCATIONS TO SHOOT?

I have a bunch of locations within the Lakeville and Twin Cities area that I love. Once you book your session, I'll send over a guide that has my favorite locations for you to choose from that fits your style!
