Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book?
For weddings, I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for popular dates and seasons. Family, engagement, and pet sessions can typically be scheduled 2-4 weeks out, though I always recommend booking as early as possible.
Do you travel outside Columbus?
Yes! While I'm based in Columbus, I'm happy to travel throughout Central Ohio and beyond for weddings and special sessions. Travel fees may apply for locations outside the Columbus metro area.
What happens if weather affects our outdoor session?
Columbus weather can be unpredictable! I monitor forecasts closely and will work with you to reschedule if needed. I also have backup indoor location options and can embrace light rain for romantic, moody photos if you're up for it.
How long until we receive our photos?
Wedding photos are typically delivered within 6-8 weeks, while portrait sessions are ready within 2-3 weeks. All images are professionally edited and delivered via an online gallery for easy viewing, sharing, and downloading.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I understand that professional photography is an investment. I offer flexible payment plans for wedding and larger photography packages to make it easier to secure your date and spread out the investment.
