Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel outside of the midwest?
While I shoot mainly in Minnesota and Wisconsin, I am more than willing to venture outside of this scope to come to you for photos. I've travelled to Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Mexico and would love to go wherever is special to you. To inquire more about the costs of travel, please reach out through my contact form.
What if I don't know how to pose or am uncomfortable in front of a camera?
This is where I come in. I never expect any of my clients to come into a session feeling fully comfortable in front of the camera. If you are, that's great! If you're not, don't worry at all. My job as a professional is to help make this an easy and comfortable experience for you. However, I will add that having your photo taken requires a certain level of vulnerability. In order to have a good photo taken, you have to want to have your photo taken. If you want to discuss more about whether you think we would be a good fit for each other, please reach out. I'd be happy to get to know you and your vision more.
What if we don't have a wedding date, but would still like to book you?
Please reach out regardless of if you have a date yet or not! While I cannot book you nor guarantee availability until you decide on a date, I would still love to get to know you and see if we would be a good fit.
What if our budget impacts our vision?
I completely understand and support that budget often plays a large role in choosing a photographer. This is why I am so intentional about the final product and experience that I share with my clients. If you feel that budget may be the one area that is holding you back, please let me know. I can often create custom packages and payment plans that help you remain in your preferred scope of cost as well as your ideal photo vision.
How early can we book you?
For regular solo and couples' portrait sessions, I typically don't book more than a year in advance. For weddings, I book a majority from ten to eighteen months ahead of time. However I have booked some weddings with as little as two months notice, so don't hesitate to reach out!
