FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you deliver every image you shoot?
No, I don’t, and believe me when I say that is a good thing. I go through and remove all duplicates, blinks, and blurry images, and then provide multiple looks from the same scenarios. Instead of you spending time going through hundreds of pictures to pick your favorites, I do the work for you and leave you only with the very best.
How many images will I get?

It depends, but typically you’ll receive about 50-100 images per hour of booking. Since there are parts of the day where barely any photos are taken, such as driving time and setting up. Each shoot is different, but I promise you will get all the best images from all parts of the day.

Do you edit all of the images or do touch-ups?

I do basic editing on each and every image that I provide to you. You can see examples of my editing style in my galleries, on my blog, and in my sample albums. Extensive retouching—such as slimming, swapping heads, or removing or adding a person (when possible)— is offered at an additional charge of around $25 per image. 

How large can we print our pictures?

The files I give you are the same as what I use. They are extremely high quality, so you can print your pictures as large as you want.

What rights do I have to the images?

You will receive a copyright release for printing your images and for personal use. You will be able to share images on social media (with photographer credit) and print images in whatever format you wish for personal use.

Do you provide RAW images?
No, I do not provide RAW images for any reason.
Do you have liability insurance?
Yes. I carry a one million dollar liability policy and can provide a certificate of coverage to your venue if you like.
Do you back up your images?
I save the images to two separate external hard drives immediately following the wedding, and I also have an online cloud backup that starts as soon as the images are uploaded on my computer.
If we cancel, will we receive our money back?
Unfortunately, the 50% retainer you send along with your contract is non-refundable. Once I receive your retainer, I have secured the date for you, and I turn down all additional inquiries that come in for that date.
What if we change our date after booking?
Usually, a date change will mean a forfeit of your retainer. If there is sufficient advance notice of the date change, and I have the new date available, I may transfer your retainer over and book on the new date. This is on a case by case basis, and it depends on my availability and the timing.
Will I be charged tax?

I am required to charge tax on all physical products that will be delivered to Las Vegas residents, including albums, prints, or any other form of printed product. Your digital files are not taxed.

What do you do to make your business environmentally friendly?

Everything I can! All my battery powered camera equipment uses rechargeable batteries, especially the ones designed to use AAs and AAAs. My home and office have all CFL bulbs, and our household participates in a local recycling program for all home and office waste. I conduct most of my business electronically, so there’s very little paper. I offer 10-year online galleries as an option for your finished product, too. I always try to be as green as possible.

Can I share my photos on social media?

Yes, of course—as long as you give me photo credit.

How far should I book in advance?

As soon as you know you want to book senior photos.  I offer sessions every day of the week except Saturdays.  Spring and Fall book up quick.  If you are sure you want to work with me, book as soon as you can.

How long have you been doing this, and what made you want to do it?

It may sound cliché, but I’ve wanted to be a photographer since I was a kid. I used to carry around my point and shoot camera and document all my friends along with everything else I could. It wasn’t until my 30th birthday that I finally bought a fancy DSLR, and I immediately immersed myself in everything photography-related so I could quickly learn how to make the images I saw in my head. As for weddings, I fell in love with them when I got married, and I felt very strongly that I wanted to work in the wedding field. Once I started learning about photography on a professional level, a light bulb went off, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do: I wanted to be a wedding and high school senior photographer. As of this post I have been photographing professionally for 9 years.
