The balance is to be paid two weeks prior to your Wedding day.
Do you shoot with an Assistant?
Yes, I shoot with an assistant (dependent upon scheduling) and depending on the size of the wedding, I always have at least one assistant at all times when possible. The assistants are a very important part of my photography business and are more like associates than assistants.
What type of equipment do you use?
I use Canon professional cameras and my assistants use Nikon professional cameras. We both use digital and film formats. This gives us the flexibility to use both the latest technology and traditional formats.
Do you shoot in both black/white and color?
Yes, I am able to shoot in both color and black/white with the use of digital cameras. I will ask you the percentage of each for your wedding day during your consultation.
Do you travel?
Yes, I travel throughout Northern Ohio as well as the surrounding areas and I am looking to expand my coverage in the future. Please contact me for rate information outside 40 mile radius of the Euclid, OH area.
When will our photos be ready?
Your previews will be ready and in your online gallary approximately 2 weeks after your wedding date and your final Custom Wedding album will take 2 weeks to create and you will receive your product 3-4 weeks from the time you order.
Are the digital files or preview book included?
Yes, my packages have a high resolution DVD of edited images with full print rights built into them. This allows you to print your images however you choose. Since I have included the high resolution DVD in the packages, the preview albums are not inlcuded. This helps keep the cost of the packages down, while also offering my clients the ability to have their digital images.
Do you offer Albums?
Yes, I have a large selection of albums that you can choose from. I would be happy to go over the albums in detail during your consultation.
Will I be able to see what my album will look like before I receive it?
Yes, we will go over your album design at your preview consultation. I will also email you a PDF proof of the album before it is sent for production. You can swap images, change the layout, add your favorite images or text if you like. once you approve the design of your album it will be sent out to be made.
Will my photos be online?
Yes, after your preview consultation and your album order has been placed, your images will appear online for one month to share with friends and family who could not attend.
If your packages are not what I am looking for, are you willing to customize a package for my budget?
Yes, I can customize a package that fits your specific needs and budget.
How do I book a pregnancy or newborn session?
Call or email me to schedule a consultation. Once you have decided that you would like for me to take your portraits, I will have a portrait contract for you to sign and a 50% non-refundable deposit of the session you choose is required to secure your date and time.
What happens if my baby is sick or we have to cancel our session?
If you or your little one is sick, still in the hospital (I hope not) or you need to cancel, we will make every effort to reschedule your session. For this reason, I like to schedule your session before you go into labor and then see how things are going once you deliver. Please give me 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule. All rescheduling is based on availability.
When is the best time to do my pregnancy session?
Your Pregnancy Session would need to be done around your 7—8 month of pregnancy. This allows us to photograph you in the full glow of motherhood. The main focus of the session will be your belly but we also include various other poses as well.
What should I wear for my session?
We suggest that you wear black or white pants (preferable stretch pants) and a black or white tank top. Most women choose the black pants and tank top for their session. You can also bring a white button down shirt, white or black sports bra, or a dress that shows off your belly. We ask that you not wear any socks (especially tight fitting ones), wrist watches, or anything around your belly that could leave marks on your skin.
Can you come to my home for my pregnancy session if I can't travel?
Yes, I can come to your home in the event that you can't travel or are on bed rest in the last months of your pregnancy.
When should I schedule my newborn session?
The Newborn Session is typically shot within the first week after your baby is born when they are still sleeping a lot. this allows me to place and position them in any manner I like. This may sound early but waiting a week or more can change the shoot entirely. For this reason, I like to try and schedule the newborn session at your home. This way the baby can stay in his or her comfortable environment and you don't have to pack up all that gear to come to the studio after just giving birth days before.
What clothing should I have ready for my baby?
I typically photograph them in the nude and for this reason I ask that you loosen their diaper or any tight clothing on them at least 30 minutes before the shoot to avoid marks on their skin. Feel free to have any booties, hats, head bands, blankets, or anything that you would like to have them photographed ready for the session.
