1. Is there a travel fee?

Yes - if you choose a location that is 20+ miles from me, round trip. To find out how to calculate this fee or find out if you have one, visit the "Locations" tab for more information.

2. How do I know if I am required to pay a travel fee?

Travel fees are required for locations 20 miles+ (round trip) and are based on the federal going rate of 67 cents per mile. The first 20 miles however, are free. 

Example: 25 miles-20 miles x 0.67 = $3.35

​

3. Do I owe a deposit upon scheduling?

Yes - There is a $50 non-refundable deposit (which goes towards the full price of the session).

Dates/times are not secured until this has been met.

4. Does the non-refundable deposit amount change based on the type of session?

No. It is the same regardless of the type of session you choose.

5. Why is the deposit non-refundable?

Deposits are used to secure appointments. When cancelations occur, I have already put in a lot of time to prepare for the session before it even begins. This is to help compensate me for both my time and in some instances other revenue, since there would be other people that I turned away on that day as it had previously been reserved. I understand that events outside either of our control do occur, which is why I have a very lenient rescheduling policy.

6. What is the tax amount that will be added to my session fee?

The amount of tax that will be added to each session fee is 7.25%. This sales tax amount is required for businesses by the state of Utah and city of Herriman.

7. If I was quoted a price prior to a price increase, can I keep the same price?

If you were given a quote prior to a price increase and a deposit was not made to secure it, it is no longer valid.

8. Do you provide a list of location suggestions?

Yes! In fact, once you have scheduled your session and the deposit has been made, I send a link to my "Session Guide" which contains a large list of outdoor locations as well as studios you can look over.

​

9. Do you send out a contract?

Yes! After your session has been scheduled, the deposit has been made and you have told me the location you chose, I email a contract which you fill out and send back prior to the start of your session.

​

10. Do you do indoor sessions and outdoor sessions?

Yes. The type of session depends on your preference.

11. Do you have a studio? 

I unfortunately do not currently own one, nor do I have any affiliation with any studio (including but not limited to their booking fees, scheduling or cancelation fees, etc).

12. Do the studio's you recommend have fees?

Yes, all studios have fees that you will need to cover on their end. I am in no way affiliated with any studio (including but not limited to the price and payment of the studio rental, their cancellation fees, schedules, etc).

​

13. Do you do mini sessions?

Yes! However I only offer them as a special a handful of times throughout the year (ex: Spring or Fall mini's). These will be announced through my Instagram/Facebook stories. I will also provide a new link on my website with information, times, dates as well as provide details on how to book.

14. Do you give style suggestions?

Yes! Figuring out what to wear can be very stressful and difficult – trust me, I know.

Because of this, I have provided several links in my Session Guide to help you out! I always will recommend using neutral colors with small amounts of pattern or texture.

15. I have chosen my session, but what if I don't want the full time/amount of edited photos?

The way I have laid out each package has been through lots of trial and error and has shown to work well. I provide more package options than most in the hopes that it will cover what you seek.

16. Why do you charge what you charge? Aren't you just snapping photos?

Good question! In fact, looking back I can say I didn't quite understand all that went into owning a photography business. There is an immense amount of time, money and investment which is put into owning any type of business. My business in particular includes but is not limited to: equipment upgrades (camera, laptop, lenses, etc), programs, education, time spent on updating websites, scheduling, writing contracts, book keeping, marketing, sales tax, travel, etc. The list goes on and on. In addition, I put in a very large amount of time performing detailed work after your session, making sure your photos come back beautiful! So to answer your question, no I am not just snapping photos and calling it a day, for that is a mere fraction of what goes into my work.

I hope this helps!
