Frequently asked questions.
How long do photoshoots last?
In general, shoots typically last around an hour, unless booked longer. I will never rush or cut the time if we go a bit over but please be on time. Does not apply to weddings and or events.
How long will it take to receive my photos or video?
Turn around time for photos is usually within 1-2 weeks for most hour sessions, but for longer events shot over 3 hours please allow up to
3-4 weeks for content. All photos are provided digitally via an online gallery available to download for 60 days.
Do you provide props?
I do not. You are however, more than welcome to bring any props you'd like and we can include them in the shoot.
How do you edit the photos?
I professionally edit all of your images on Adobe Lightroom, coordinating with you before our shoot with a mood board and providing samples per request. After the photos are color graded through Lightroom, I individually take each photo through Adobe Photoshop to clean up the images by retouching skin & background. I can edit small imperfections from bodies and objects in an image but I cannot work magic like modify body parts, etc.
Can I have the RAW images as well? For an additional fee, yes, you can purchase the raw images as well if you'd like but I do not recommend it as the graded photos look much better.
Can I post the photos anywhere I want? Of course! The images are yours. The only thing I ask is that you do NOT alter or edit the images. They are professionally color corrected and trust me, you wont need to add an Instagram filter (yes people have done this before). Also, shout out your photographer/videographer! We really, REALLY appreciate it :’)
Do you charge a fee for traveling? Local shoots, in the Coachella Valley, there is no fee. Anything further, I do charge extra for travel expenses. Let’s work something out!
How many photos do I receive? Typically, I give my clients an average of 20-30 photos per hour of shooting. I average around 150-200 shots per hour and select the best images. (I always tend to be generous and give extra freebies).
Can I buy more photos or prints from you? Yes of course! If you would like to purchase more I would be more than happy to edit and process more images for you. Prints can also be bought from me, just tell me what you are interested in!
Can you do mini shoots or just a few photos? Unfortunately, no.
How is the location determined? You are more than welcome to give me your input and I can guide you or I can also give you recommendations. I have shot many locations around the valley and are familiar with many, so please let me know! I’m happy to help.
Is there a deposit required? Yes, I require a 50 % (non-refundable) initial deposit at the time of booking to save your date!
Do you pose people? Yes, I help pose and guide you. I also collaborate with you prior to the shoot and we create mood boards and share ideas so that we can implement the poses, colors, and tones for the photos & edits. During the shoot you are also more than welcome to share your ideas so we can bring them to life.
Have any other questions? Please feel free to shoot me an email and I will be happy to help!
