What if the weather is bad for an outdoor session?
We’ll work together to reschedule your session or move it to an indoor studio setting if applicable.
Can I get the raw images/unedited images?
No, raw images are not available for delivery. Raw files are the foundation of the final product, and providing them would not represent the finished quality of my work. As your photographer, I take great care in editing each image to preserve my creative control and artistic vision, ensuring you receive a polished, professional final product.
Before booking, I encourage you to explore my portfolio to familiarize yourself with my artistic style and editing approach. If you have specific preferences or edits in mind, let’s discuss them during your vision board consultation—I’m happy to incorporate your ideas into the final product!
Can I purchase prints of my images?
Yes! Your online gallery on Pixieset allows you to order high-quality prints directly. Simply select your favorite images, choose your desired print sizes and finishes, and place your order. Prints are fulfilled by professional labs to ensure premium quality, and they’ll be delivered straight to your door. If you have specific requests or need guidance, feel free to reach out!
Can I bring someone with me to my session to help?
Of course! A friend or family member can provide support and help during the session, as long as they do not interfere with the photography process.
Do you charge a travel fee for sessions?
Travel fees may be applied for sessions located more than an hour from Chicago. If your session requires travel, we’ll discuss any additional costs during the booking process. Let me know your location, and I’ll provide a detailed estimate.
Can I bring props to my session?
Absolutely! Props and pets can add personality to your shoot. Just let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly.
What if I need something not listed in the packages?
I’m happy to customize a package to meet your specific needs. Feel free to contact me through Pixieset, email, or Instagram to discuss your ideas.
