FAQs
Do you shoot Extended families?
I love photographing families, but I don’t offer extended family sessions.
My family sessions focus on immediate families (parents + kids).
What do we wear?
After you book your session, I’ll send you a personalized style guide packed with tips and advice on how to plan your outfits to complement the beautiful backdrops we’ll be shooting against. I know choosing outfits can feel a little overwhelming, but don’t worry, I’m here to help!
The guide is designed to make the process easy, showing you how to pick colors and styles that will pop in the natural settings while still feeling like you.
Do you do Sneak Peeks?
I don’t offer sneak peeks. I know it’s exciting to see your photos right away, but since I hand-edit each image, I like to edit the entire gallery as a whole. This way I can focus on giving you the very best final images instead of doing a quick edit just for a preview.
Galleries are delivered within four weeks during busy seasons, and sometimes sooner during slower times. I will always send out your gallery as soon as it is ready!
Whats your weather policy?
Mountain weather is tricky, so here’s how I handle it:
If there’s a 20%+ chance of rain during your session time, I’ll check in the day before. We’ll make the final call around 6 PM (for sunrise) or about 4 hours before (for sunset).
Forecasts here change nonstop, so don’t stress! We usually don’t get an accurate read until about 36 hours out.
Safety always comes first. I won’t risk slick trails or unsafe spots. If we need to reschedule, no problem! And if it just can’t work out, you’ll get a full refund.
How long will it take to get my photos?
You will receive your gallery within four weeks of your session. I do deliver all of my galleries as soon as they are complete! So if I complete your session sooner, I will send it out!
what time of day can we book?
My bookings are open for golden-hour sunset sessions.
Golden Hour occurs twice a day during sunrise and sunset. Sunrise options have limited locations and availablilty.
How will i receive my images?
Your photos are uploaded to a private online gallery. From there you can download all your photos to any device. This gallery is live for 3 months, so make sure you download them on a USB drive or back them up to the cloud before then!
You will receive a print release for all your images, so you can get them printed anywhere.
Where are you located?
I'm located in Gatlinburg TN, and I'm permitted to shoot inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I have predesignated locations that I shoot at.
How much is a session?
All of my prices are located under the "Pricing" tab depending on what kind of session you are looking for.
