FAQ's

What time of day is best for lighting?

The best time of day to start your session is at sunrise or anywhere from 1 to 2 hours before sunset. This “time” changes of course depending on the time of year.

What the heck should I wear?

This question stumps me everyday and it's even more challenging for me to determine what you should wear for your shoot since we all have our own unique styles.

First and foremost just be yourself! No need to match each other, unless of course you and your fiance or family wear matching outfits on a daily basis. ( I'm betting that's not the case) :) There are no major colors or patterns you need to be concerned with steering clear of. Be bold and whimsicle or subtle and simple, it's all a matter of preference and what you feel most comfortable in.

Layers, textures, color, and accessories all make for great pictures. - Ex: Hats, scarfs, buttons, lace, neck ties, fun shoes, jewelry, and a little extra makeup.

Pinterest is a good source of inspiration and ideas!

How long is the session? Can we change outfits?

This depends on which session you book. Please reference the session packages for details.

Do you have suggestions for locations?

Absolutely!! I have several locations and go-to spots that I recommend. I suggest checking out my page devoted to The Best Austin Photoshoot Locations. I also love incorporating any special locations or spots around town that are meaningful to you as a person, couple, or family. One good way to determine your location setting is by letting me know what kind of look, feel, or theme you are going for.

When can I expect to see the pictures?

Our turnaround time for uploading the images to your online gallery is 7 to 10 days. The files will be mailed out shortly after that. Turnaround time for wedding day images is 4 to 5 weeks.

Are your digital files high res?

YESSS! I want you to have files of the highest quality and resolution so you can print them as big as you like to fill your home full of memories and loved ones.

What if there's a chance for rain?

Our rain policy is this... If the weather forecast doesn't look good we will determine if we should postpone the shoot anywhere from 12-24 hours out. I won't force you to cancel but I will strongly suggest one way or the other. If you choose to risk it and go thru with meeting at the scheduled time, you will be charged for the shoot. I don't offer refunds at that point regardless if the rain kept us from getting the best possible pictures.
