Frequently Asked Questions
How many photos will I get?
Clients typically receive 30-50 images per hour of shooting, although every session is different!
Are you LGBTQIA+ friendly?
100% YES! I would be honored to be a part of your day (whether that is an engagement session, wedding, or confidence shoot just to celebrate you)! View my Ally Pledge here.
Do you offer a second shooter?
Yes! My partner and I team up for weddings upon request. Let me know if that is something you are interested in and I’ll send you more information.
How far in advance should I book you?
For weddings, I recommend booking 6 - 10 months in advance as dates fill up fast! Creative portraiture and lifestyle sessions can be done a little closer to your session date, but I always recommend booking as soon as possible!
Will you help out picking locations?
Absolutely! If you would like help finding the perfect location, I will provide options and get the necessary permits in advance.

Fill out my contact form so we can find a time to call and talk details! Once we have chatted and selected the package that works best for you, we will chat about payment options and I will send a contract your way. A 50% down payment is required to secure your date.
Do you ever travel for your sessions?
Absolutely! While I am located in Appleton, WI, I will travel anywhere within the state (free of travel fees) and out of state and international sessions (with added travel fees).
Do you offer an inclusive vendor list?
Yes! Let me know if that is something you are interested in and I’ll send you more information.
What should I wear?
I have guides available upon request! Feel free to reach out for help or send me pictures of what you’re thinking for your shoot.
How do you describe your wedding approach?
I would describe my style as a mix between documentary photography and classic wedding photography. I like to take as many candids as I can during a wedding, and disappear into the background as much as possible. When the timeline allows it, I love to absorb the chaotic magic of a wedding day and keep an eye out for moments I personally would want immortalized in print forever. However, I am also very comfortable posing, giving prompts, and stepping in front of a crowd when needed.
I think a good photographer knows when to take a step back and watch the moment unfold, but also when to step in and give direction. My favorite wedding albums have all the little moments - first looks, buttons getting fastened, goosebumps & little touches - but also the bigger moments - your classic ‘for-the-parents’ portraits, the cake cutting, the dances.
I am here first and foremost for my clients. I want to capture your day as it unfolds, but I will also be there to create a little magic and out-there art if you’re down for it!
