Frequently Asked Questions

Couple's Session

GENERAL

Where are you based?

I’m based in my hometown of San Antonio, TX.

What is your photography style?

I like to think of my work as artistic snapshots. My style is mostly documentary, meaning I capture real, unposed moments. I aim for naturally posed portraits, not stiff or forced. Editing-wise, I’m best known for my dark, moody, and warm look.

Who are your couples sessions for?

My couples sessions are for everyone—whether you’re engaged, celebrating an anniversary, or just want to capture your love for fun.

What types of sessions do you offer?

I offer engagement sessions, anniversary sessions, casual couples sessions, and proposals. If you’re looking for something specific, feel free to reach out!

Do you offer steamy couples sessions or boudoir?

Yes! I’m currently looking to build my portfolio for steamy couples sessions and boudoir, so I’m offering a special discount. If you’re interested, reach out for details!

Do you help with posing?

Yes! If you feel awkward in front of the camera, I’ll guide you just enough so you look natural and feel comfortable. But I also love capturing candid, real moments—so no forced, awkward posing!


PACKAGES & BOOKING

What is included in your wedding photography packages?

All packages include:

✓ An online gallery of your images
✓ High-resolution digital downloads (fully edited, no watermarks)
✓ 1 year of cloud backup (with an option to extend for $60/year)
✓ An online print store for professional-quality prints

Do you charge a travel fee?

🚗 Free travel within 100 miles of 78209 (up to the Austin area).
✈️ $500 flat travel fee for locations outside of that range, which covers gas, lodging, etc.

Do you have business insurance?

Yes! If your location requires proof of insurance, I can provide it.

How far in advance should we book you?

I take on only 2-3 sessions per month, so dates can fill up quickly. I recommend reaching out at least a few weeks in advance, but if you’re on a shorter timeline, don’t hesitate to ask—I may have an opening!

How do we officially book you?

After we set up a quick meeting (in-person or video chat), you’ll receive a custom link where you can:

✓ Select your package & add-ons
✓ Sign your contract digitally
✓ Pay your $500 retainer via credit card

Super simple!


SESSION DETAILS

Where can we do our session?

I recommend parks, downtown areas, Airbnb rentals, or your home—anywhere that feels like you. We can also incorporate activities you love to make your session more personal. To keep your session unique, I suggest avoiding overused landmark locations and choosing something meaningful instead.

What should we wear?

Wear outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident, and that match the vibe of your session. You’ll have time for one outfit change if you’d like variety. I also recommend avoiding large logos or super bright/neon colors, as they can be distracting in photos.

Can we bring our pet?

Absolutely! Pets can add a fun, personal touch to your photos. I recommend including them at either the start or end of the session so we can balance time with and without them.

What if it’s too hot outside?

Texas summers can be brutal! If it’s too hot, we can plan a sunrise session instead of the usual golden hour before sunset. This way, we avoid the heat while still getting that soft, dreamy lighting.

Do you recommend anyone for hair & makeup?

Hair and makeup are completely optional! If you’re getting married, this can be a great time to try a stylist before your wedding. I recommend Viva La Glam or Jax Studio for professional hair and makeup.


DELIVERY & FINAL PRODUCTS

How long does it take to get our photos?

You’ll receive your fully edited photos within 2-3 weeks after the session.

How many photos will we receive?

It varies, but typically around 50-75 edited photos from your session.

Can we order prints from you?

Absolutely! Your online gallery includes a professional print store where you can easily order high-quality prints and other printed products.

Do we get full printing rights to our photos?

Yes! You’ll receive high-resolution files with full personal printing rights—so you can print them anywhere you’d like.

Do you retouch/edit photos?

I’m known for my dark, moody, and warm editing style. I tweak colors, exposure, contrast, and sharpness to match my signature look. I won’t alter body shapes or remove permanent features like scars, but I will touch up temporary blemishes. I deliver mostly color photos with some black and white mixed in. I also make sure we plan for the best lighting, since bad lighting can’t be “fixed” in editing.


CANCELLATION & BACKUP PLAN

What happens if we need to reschedule?

I understand that things come up! If you need to reschedule, just let me know as soon as possible. Your deposit will transfer to the new date as long as it’s rescheduled within a reasonable timeframe.

What happens if it rains?

If it rains or there’s severe weather, we’ll reschedule at no extra cost. Cloudy days don’t require rescheduling and can actually create some of the best lighting conditions!
