What if it's predicted to rain during our session?
That’s a totally valid question! Rain can be the enemy of a photography session, so believe me, I get it!
So what’s the answer to this important question? When it comes to the possibility of rain or other inclement weather, my policy is that if there is a 20% chance of rain or higher during the time we will be shooting, I will reach out to you to see if you’d like to proceed as scheduled (with the chance to be rained out) the day before the session or find my next available date to reschedule.
Here’s the important thing: since the weather changes so rapidly once it gets near the mountains, we will wait until around 6 PM the night before (if sunrise or 4 hours before our session, if sunset) our session to make a call!
Trust me, I know it’s hard not to look until the night/hours before;
but, I promise, 8/10, the weather will change a million times between now and then!
The why behind this policy; My main priority is that everyone stays safe during my sessions. I shoot all my sessions outdoors, sometimes in more remote locations with no cell service. I do not want an accident or injury happening to you. Outdoor areas (especially by the water) can become slick and unsafe. I would rather cancel/reschedule a session rather than "making a session happen" during unsatisfactory conditions.
If we cancel due to weather you will receive a 100% refund.
FAQs
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.
How long will it take to get my photos?
Most of my galleries are delivered within a week of your session. During busier periods it can take up to two weeks.
what time of day can we book?
My bookings are open for golden-hour sessions Monday through Saturday. I only shoot a certain number of sessions a week. This allows me to have a faster gallery turnaround time and a better client experience.
Golden Hour occurs twice a day during sunrise and sunset
