FAQ

I generally come to you at your vacation home, unless you want to do the session at another location. I work primarily in Port St Joe, St Joe Beach, Mexico Beach, Indian Pass, Cape San Blas, Windmark Beach & Apalachicola. Outside of those areas | charge a travel fee. Generally $50 per half hour of travel. For example: St. George Island is a $50 travel fee.

Where do you do the sessions?

Yes. But it is minimal. I stick to a realistic look & do use creative presets or filters. The final images generally will look pretty true to how it was at the session. That being said, understand that it is impossible to expose for the sky & people's skin without using flash or strobe lighting. (You will not get images of a dramatic sunset sky & have people properly exposed) I do not bring mechanical lights to outdoor sessions. Additionally, natural light varies every day & at different locations. I can not control that but I do my best to work with it. Please review my website portfolio & my social media to see my style before booking with me. I can not change my editing style for every client. I charge extra for editing requests.
I do not give out RAW files.

Do you edit the photos?

I like to start 30-60 minutes prior to sunset or right at sunrise for the best light. This changes throughout the year. You can do a quick Google search for "sunset times in Port St Joe" or click  

what time do you start the sessions?

I accept cash, checks & most forms of electronic payments, with credit cards being the least favorite. (Please ask for my Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay, Zelle BEFORE sending deposits!)
Credit card processors charge a fee on my end & have recently begun including that fee when I have to issue the occasional refund. So it costs me money if I issue a refund due to weather & never do your session. Because of this I will issue refunds minus the processing fee beginning April 2023.

How do you accept payments?

This is the most popular question! I do my best to get your session done wile you are in the area. Sometimes that might mean rescheduling to a different day or time because the weather is very unpredictable in Florida! Overcast days are great for photography! I have even done a couple of sessions in the rain! (Grandma wanted it & I have tough gear!) The session will end if there is lightening- it's not worth the risk. If weather absolutely prevents the photoshoot from happening, your deposit will be refunded.

What if it rains?

Do I have to buy prints with you or can I print them where I want?

Printing through me is always worth it. Professional labs and archival inks make a difference you will notice the first time you hold it, and a photo on your wall does something a screen never will. The digital files are yours to do with whatever you like.
