FAQ
-
Where are you based?
I’m based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada but love to take my camera on the road. I’m available for booking Canada-wide!
-
How long have you been a photographer?
If I said all my life would you believe me? Let me explain! My photo career proper began in 2009 when I declared my photo major at NSCAD University and began trying to get any experience possible but I started photography as a hobby at the age of 9 with disposable cameras or whatever else I could get my hands on AND HAVEN’T STOPPED SINCE!
-
It’s my first time being photographed, what if I’m awkward?
Let me tell you a secret, are you ready? I’m awkward as heck (on & off camera) and it hasn’t gotten in the way of a good photo op yet. Feeling awkward on camera is beyond common, which is why my sessions are all a minimum of two hours, giving you time to relax and warm up in front of the camera. My goal is always to capture your energy, so my sessions are more like a hangout sesh, just with a camera in the mix. I always have music on hand, bad jokes ready to go and a rough shot list based on your discovery call to help the session flow smoothly no matter what your experience level is.
-
How many images do you deliver?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer for this one. For portrait, branding and event clients, your images and image rights will depend on the package you choose. For my elopement and wedding clients, the number of images delivered DEPENDS on the length of your celebrations, THE number of guests involved and package chosen. Typically, my wedding galleries range from 500-800 edited images.
-
How long will it take to receive my photos?
For portrait and commercial clients, I turn around images within 2 weeks of client selection. For weddings and elopements, I work on a THREE-month turnaround.
-
Do you deliver raw files?
Like most photographers, I do not deliver raw files to clients. As a photographer who believes that editing is as much a part of the creative process as photographing, I shoot to edit and don’t see raw files as finished products that I would be comfortable SHARING. For commercial clients working with more specific needs, I’m happy to deliver working tif files to ensure the best quality printing and flexibility required for any design needs.
-
How many weddings do you accept a year?
This changes year-to-year, depending on how many commercial contracts I have on my plate during wedding season. Because I love, love, love capturing love and want to keep it that way, I take on a limited number of elopements and weddings each season, which also means I’m able to give my best to my couples. Currently booking for summer 2024.
-
What can i do with my photos?
Standard web licensing is provided to my commercial clients, however, additional print licensing fees may apply depending on the scope of the project and the type of printing required. print resolution files are provided to all of my wedding and personal portraiture clients. Sharing is always okay, in fact, I love to see it but I ask all my clients not to edit, crop or otherwise alter my images, unless previously agreed upon.
-
Do you require deposits?
I require a 50% deposit for any first-time branding, event or portraiture clients and a 25% deposit for wedding and elopement clients.
-
will you organize my shoot?
All my sessions include a discovery call, where we create a wardrobe, prop and location strategy for your shoot. If you want more hands-on help with styling, pulling props, booking venues, location scouting, talent calls or anything else under the sun, pre-production services are available at an additional fee!
