Lay back, act natural, and let’s take some pictures
This isn’t about a photo session, or even the pictures, it’s about You. Forget about posing and feeling stiff in front of the camera. Imagine going on a walk with an old friend, who just happens to have a camera with them. My process is free and flowy, and my only goal is to capture your true self.
My wedding approach
01.
Email Me
Shoot me an email with some small details and your date, and I will be getting back to you as soon as possible.
02.
Questionnaire
This is the first step to booking! This form is just to let me get a feel for the day and make sure we will be a good fit. Sometimes it's just the venue, the travel, the schedule... if I have to step away after the questionnaire. It's not you, it's me.
03.
we said YES, AGAIN!
If we are both agreeing we just HAVE to work together, the next and last step is the contract. We read, we sign, we have a cheers! This is also when the down payment is due!
04.
Wedding day!
Pretty much the minute you email me your inquiry, I am yours. I will be there with you every step of the wedding process. The wedding day will be the best day of your life. I'll just be there to help you with anything, make sure we stay on schedule (for the most part), be your cheerleader, run the show with portraits and then step back to document the day YOU created.
My session approach
01.
Email Me
Shoot me an email with some details on the session you'd like, and I will be getting back to you as soon as possible.
02.
Find a date
You will be able to book your date right through the website! After this I will be sending over the final contract to lock down the date (No payment is required!)
03.
Week-ish before shoot
I will be reaching out to you to ask you a few detailed questions, help you with locations, outfits and the perfect time to start! I will point out if there's rain in the forecast (up to the day of) and give options at this point for a rain makeup or if you wanted to go for it :)
04.
shoot and delivery
YAY shoot day! We're going to have the best time. And when we're done, expect a preview or your full gallery in a few days! I try my hardest to have a 1-2 week turnaround. Mini sessions and full sessions will get a high quality, downloadable online gallery. Full session do get a flash drive via mail too!
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
Don't rush to get ready; Be ready to laugh; Relaxed people photograph better; HAVE FUN with it
What should I wear?
Neutrals are a good go-to. But hey, you do you! I just would say avoided bright or neon colors is the best quick tip!
How many pictures will I receive?
I usually deliver about 100+ per hour of shooting. Usually more. :)
Are you available outside of West Michigan?
Yup! Not too often but I do! There's small travel fees for outside of Muskegon. Travel + Lodging fees for 3+ hours of driving.
Do you have second shooters for weddings?
Yes! If you have a large wedding/wedding party or a tight timeline I would totally recommend having another shooter with me! Email for more info!
What kind of equipment do you use? Do you have backups?
I have a backups to my backups! My main cameras are Canon 5D mark IV and Canon R6. Both have 2 memory card slots for extra precaution!
