"We can't decide were we want to get married...We are throwing around the idea of eloping. Can you give me some insight on how it works?"

+ Girl, you're in the right place. My husband and I eloped! I feel so strongly about eloping. There is just something so dang intimate and special about having a day completely dedicated and ALL about you and your love. No distractions, no rushing... just pure love + connection. I would absolutely love to chat with you more about your thoughts.

"Do you have a list of your 2019 travels I can take a peek at to possibly align a session or our elopement in a cool place?"

+Sure thanggg, just email meeeehhh and we can chat!

“I am located outside of Oklahoma and Kansas… What all needs to be covered to get you to my wedding?

The only additional costs that our clients would be responsible for are as follows:

1) .50 per mile outside of area code 74107

2) Hotel accommodations — 2 nights stay

3) Typically I like to be at the location of the wedding at least a day in advanced. The reason for this is that I would like to have plenty of time to scout out your wedding venue as well as ensure that we will be on time to the location on the day of your wedding. Also, having a bit of cushion with time is always good in case of flight delays. As for the return flight, I like to have the tickets booked for the day after your last event, preferably at a later time.

"Do you offer engagement pictures with your packages?"

++ Sure do! I think getting to hang out before the wedding and getting to know one another during the session is huge for how you feel and act in front of me on the wedding day. I am currently in the works of creating a "What to expect wedding guide" so hang tight for that brides. It will explain how my process works when it comes to booking with me, what all the packages include, best time of day for pictures, tips and tricks to make your day run smoothly, and so much more.

"Can you send me the raw or unedited images?"

+ Nope, I do not release any raw photos. I would hope you trust and know my style and judgement upon booking. ;)

"Do you offer any special rates?"

+ Only with weddings. I offer a 5% discount if weddings are paid in full with cash the day we take engagement. I also offer a military discount of $300 off any package.

“If there are flights involved… who books the flights?”

If you’d like to use your travel miles/rewards and book those flights on your own, we would just like to ask that you send us the flight information ahead of time just so that we may approve the details (flight times, transfers, layovers, etc.)

If this does not apply to you, I will book my own flights and send you the information.

“What all needs to be covered in addition to the flight?”

The only additional costs that our clients would be responsible for are as follows:

1) Airfare

2) Baggage fees

3) Hotel accommodations (typically 2 nights but dependent on the length of the event)

4) Rental car - typically 3 days, depending on the length of the event

5) Per Diem: $45/day for meals on travel days

"We are so awkward..."

++ Believe meeeee, I have heard sooo many people claim to be awkward, you aren't as awkward as you may feel. Of course in the beginning of the session everyone feels a little strange having a camera up in their face but you will get comfortable I pinky promise! This is why I feel like it is so important to do an engagement session with me if you are a bride who has booked. I allows us to get to know one another and those first time jitters are out of the way before the wedding day. For those of you stressing about feeling awkward or how to prepare for a session... Here is a link below on tips how to rock your session, I can't stress enough how awesome this article is. This session and a few drinks, ya'll are gonna kill it!

"How long is the session?"

++ Typically my sessions are between a hour to two hours. I know, I know, there is usually one person who hates having to take the yearly pictures. Personally I like to think my style of photography is very candid and in the moment type of feel. If ya have to, take a shot or two, chug a beer, bring beer along, whatever ya gotta do to calm the nerves. Shoot, bring it to the session. I promise I'm not that scary, just make sure one of you is the designated driver. Remember men, happy wife, happy life. ;) Only kidding, but really I want your session to be fun and for you too think, "Okay, that wasn't that bad."

 "How do I get the images?"

++ Easy peasy, I will uploaded all the edited images to Pixieset, from there you can download them straight to your computer. All I ask is that you go through a professional printing site if you decide to get them printed. I mean if you're going to pay the money to hire a photographer you might as well get your moneys worth and take the extra step to have good quality images. Hey, I do understand those last minute gifts though for family and I will admit I have used Walmart (cringing inside and can't believe I am admitting that.) I highly recommend you when have the time to get them printed through a website like, m.pix , Shutterfly , or Nations Photo Lab do it. I also offer the option of going through me to get the images as well if that's easiest for you. Just pleasssse for the love of pete, get them printed professionally.

"What is your turn around time?"

++ For portrait sessions I like to get people their images back to you in two weeks at the very latest. 

I know how it feels to wait for images and the waiting game sucks. I promise, I try my best to knock them out whenever I have spare time! Weddings, well that's a little different ballgame. For weddings it can be up to 90 days but most case scenarios its way before the 90. ;)

"Will you photoshop that?"

+ I'm a Lightroom gal! No photoshopping here. I will not alter your physical characteristics. However, I will fix any blemishes anyone may have.

"Should I send a shot list?"

+ I love getting a family shot list just so during portraits time at the wedding it makes things go smoother when trying to round everyone up. When you don't have it, it's pretty similar to herding cats. But to answer the question.. No, I prefer not to have a shot list. I love being able to capture the day as I see it with a creative flare.
