FAQ

Good questions, honest answers.

Everything people usually ask before booking. Don’t see yours? Just ask.

Booking

How do I book a session?

Send an inquiry through the contact form with your preferred date and the kind of session you want. I reply within 48 hours with availability and next steps, and once we pick a date it’s officially on the calendar.

How far ahead should I book?

For family and couples sessions, a few weeks ahead is usually plenty, though fall weekends fill up fastest. For weddings, reach out as soon as you have a date.

What areas do you serve?

I’m based in Franklin, Indiana and photograph all over Johnson County, including Greenwood, Whiteland, Bargersville, and Edinburgh, plus Columbus and the Indianapolis south side. Farther than that? Ask. I love a good road trip.

Do you offer custom packages?

Yes. The packages are a starting point, not a box. Tell me what you have in mind and I’ll put together something that fits.

Sessions

Where do sessions happen?

Usually outdoors: open fields, parks, tree-lined paths, or somewhere that means something to you, like your backyard or the farm. I’m happy to suggest favorite spots around Franklin and Greenwood.

What time of day is best?

Golden hour, the hour or two before sunset, gives the softest, warmest light, so most sessions are scheduled then. Early morning works beautifully too, especially in summer.

What should we wear?

Comfortable clothes you feel like yourself in. Coordinate, don’t match: pick two or three colors that play nicely together and mix in a little texture. Avoid big logos and neon. The what-to-wear guide on this site has color ideas for every season.

We’re awkward in front of a camera. Will that be a problem?

Not at all. Most people feel that way, and it’s my job to fix it. I give easy prompts instead of stiff poses, and the first few minutes are just for warming up.

Can we bring our dog (or horse)?

Please do. Pets are family, and some of my favorite photos have four legs in them.

What happens if it rains?

We’ll keep an eye on the forecast together and pick a new date if the weather won’t cooperate. Overcast skies are actually lovely for photos, so a few clouds aren’t a dealbreaker.

Weddings

Which wedding package is right for us?

Ceremony-only coverage is perfect for courthouse weddings, elopements, and intimate backyard vows. The Celebration adds the reception for toasts, first dances, and the party. The Heirloom covers the whole day, from getting ready to the send-off.

Do you photograph elopements and small weddings?

Yes, and I love them. Small weddings are often the most personal, and ceremony coverage is a great fit for them.

How soon do we get our wedding photos?

The Ceremony package has a two-week turnaround. The Celebration and The Heirloom are delivered within three weeks.

Your photos

How do we receive our photos?

Your edited images are delivered in a private online gallery where you can view them, share the link with family, and save your favorites.

How long until our gallery is ready?

Portrait sessions are typically delivered within two to three weeks. Wedding turnaround depends on the package: two weeks for The Ceremony and three weeks for The Celebration and The Heirloom.

Are the photos edited?

Every image in your gallery is professionally edited and color-graded in my warm, natural style, so your skin looks like skin and the light looks the way it felt.

Where do I find my gallery?

Galleries live on my Pixieset client site. You’ll get a direct link by email, and there’s a Client galleries link at the bottom of every page (and in the menu on phones).
