FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • A non-refundable deposit of 50% of your session rate is due to secure your booking. It will be deducted from your session rate. The other 50% of your rate is due no later than the day before your session.

    Taxes will be added to your invoice.

    Cash is also accepted! Please let me know if you prefer to pay in cash :)

  • Turnaround time for all sessions is 4 weeks following your shoot.

    If time permits, sneak peeks will be sent via text message sometime before your gallery delivery date!

  • Your digital files are delivered through an online gallery called Pic-Time. High resolution photos are downloadable to your phone + computer. Your link is shareable — whoever has the link can view and download the photos.

    I am not responsible for the images after a 20 week time frame. Client(s) understands it is their responsibility to save and store the final images from the photo session once the final gallery has been delivered.

  • RAW images (unedited images) are not delivered under any circumstance. Each photographer has a different style and technique, which makes their art unique. Sending the RAWS is a risk of my work being altered in any way that is not a true representation of my artistry and creativity!

  • If it’s something we can work around, let‘s embrace it. A little bit of clouds, wind, and rain can contributes to some truly beautiful, moody, unique photos!

    That said, if I believe it is unsafe to shoot or my gear would become seriously damaged, we can weigh our options and look into rescheduling. If rescheduling is not possible, you may get a refund, or use your deposit towards a future session.

  • Sometimes life happens and I understand! Your deposit can be credited towards a future session, once we decide on a date to reschedule to.

    If you are requesting a full cancellation, reach out and we can talk about your options!

  • Of course!!! I am here to help you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. I don't overly pose you - candids are beautiful! We will move around a lot, dance, kiss, and play.

  • Yes! I have created a location guide exclusively for my clients to choose from. Every location is listed based on distance, what side of the island it is, + what type of vibe you are going for.

  • Yes! I do give vendor recommendations! Please ask and I'll gladly send you a list of my recommended vendors (picnics, H&MUA's, florists, balloon artists, etc...)!

  • I always recommend solid and neutral colors because they are classic and timeless, flattering for everyone, and look great against the landscapes and colors of Hawaii! By avoiding bold and bright colors, it brings all the attention to your faces.

    Textured pieces also add amazing visual interest to your photos! You can opt for textures like linen, ruffles, chiffon, or tulle.

    These are my suggestions but my most important tip is to wear something that you are comfortable and confident in!

    If you have any specific questions in terms of outfits and styling, please reach out to me! I’d be more than happy to help :)
