The FAQ

Do you Travel?

Your session pricing includes travel of up to 20 miles from zip code 08330. Beyond that a travel charge will be applied.

How many photos do we get?

The number of images you receive depends on the package you choose with the option, of course, to add on more if necessary. I always make sure to provide you with plenty of images to choose from in your final gallery.

How do we get our photos?

Your images will be delivered based on the options you choose within your package as well as add ons. Either Digitally or physical prints & products.

What's your turn around time?

I fully hand edit each image. The turn around time for viewing your gallery is 4-6 weeks depending on the season and session type. Most products are received within 2 weeks after the order is placed with the exception of Luxury Albums. There are times when I can get everything done sooner but I cannot guarantee a shorter time frame.

How long have you been doing this?

I picked up my first DSLR in 2009 and have been doing photography ever since. Starting out as a hobby, I got plenty of practice photographing my family and friends. Now that I have perfected my own styles and looks I offer services to photograph YOUR family and friends!

How do we book you?

If you like what you see and are ready to book your session, feel free to contact me via the contact page right here on my site so that we can coordinate scheduling and get started!

Can you help us with planning?

Absolutely! Down to what to wear and how to pose. I can help with the entire planning process or just be here to answer questions, it's up to you!

How far out do you book?

I typically book up to 6 months out, with some exceptions. If you need to book further in advance please contact me.

What should we do for an engagement session?

Engagement sessions are my favorite! If you need help planning yours out whether it's a surprise engagement or they already said yes, please contact me and we can come up with some creative ideas that work with your personality!

What should we wear?

Coordinating outfits help the esthetic of the photos but gone are the days of matchy matchy outfits! The process of choosing outfits for everyone can be stressful but I do offer some tips on things to avoid as well as some style guides to help make it easier! Please check the outfit guide link at the bottom of the page for some great tips as well as examples and ideas.

Will my images be watermarked?

Absolutely not! All final purchased images I provide to you will be free of watermarks and branding. Sneak peeks, galleries and anything shared on social media will contain watermarks to protect my work as well as allow people a way to identify who took the images.

What are your payment options?

Cash, Paypal, Credit and Debit cards are all excepted. Whichever method is most convenient for you. I collect a retainer at the time of agreement and the balance can be paid anytime up to 7 days prior to your session. I also offer in-house payment plans towards your session at 0% interest.

Do you deliver every image you shoot?

No, I do not. I discard duplicate images, test shots, missed focus shots, shots with closed eyes or bad expressions and other images that may dilute the overall product delivery. Images are also discarded after you choose your products.

Do I have to order prints through you?

If you purchase the digital versions of your images, you may get them printed wherever you choose. Most of my clients order prints through me due to the high quality results from the professional labs that I work with but that is not required.

I like to suggest that my clients avoid labs such as Walmart, CVS, Shutterfly and such as they tend to make the images look fuzzy and the colors tend to be off.

May we share sneak peeks and images on our own social media?

Absolutely! It is actually an honor to have my clients use my images for profile photos and sharing! I only ask that you do not add additional editing/filters and keep the watermark intact and visible.

Do you offer gift certificates?

YES! Please contact me directly to purchase a gift certificate for someone. I offer them electronically via e-mail with no fee or you can have a physical certificate mailed to them sealed with a wax seal! Gift certificates can be purchased for any dollar amount.

How is your pricing structured?

My collection pricing for portraits is all inclusive featuring different budget friendly options. If you require more prints/products as part of your collection, I have plenty of additional options in the client shop. My portrait collections include session fees, editing, online viewing galleries and ordering services. The only thing not included in the price listed is NJ state sales tax and additional travel fees if they apply. Boudoir sessions are structured in a more custom way. Please contact me for more information on those types of sessions or follow the link in the main menu to see how that works.

What equipment will you use to capture my photos?

I'm a Canon girl. Don't know why I chose it over Nikon or Sony but I did. I prefer to use a mirrorless full frame camera to capture the best quality images and I use Adobe editing software for retouching. This ensures that your images not only look great in digital format but would also look great printed in sizes up to the average billboard and larger! -Just in case

What does "Boutique" Photographer mean?

I am a full-service boutique Photographer. What this means is that I only offer a limited number of sessions per month in order to give my clients a great experience. Also, you have the option to take care of sorting out your own orders or we can schedule an ordering appointment where you can view your images as well as studio sample products before placing your order. I assist with everything from planning to outfit choices and give you the full luxurious experience that you deserve.

What do most people purchase?

I offer a wide variety of collections that are all inclusive for every type of budget. I also offer additional products in the Client Shop to customize your collection. My most popular items are wall art (canvas, metal, wood and acrylic prints) and then my clients will use the rest of their favorite images to build an album or one of my highly coveted folio boxes. On average, most clients will spend in the range of 699-4999 depending on their needs and the session type. I do offer payment plans and during your consultation we can discuss which products you have interest in and decide on the best option for your budget.

Do you retouch photos?

Yes. Each image gets hand edited for the best results. Your images will be fully edited when it is time for your reveal.

Do you sell digital files?

Yes! I offer high resolution digital files of your edited images. These are purchased on a sliding scale and become more economical the more you purchase. Many of the products in the Client Shop include the digital files as well, so most of my clients end up receiving the digital files for free!

Do you offer wedding coverage?

At this time I am not offering wedding coverage. I do however, offer engagement sessions and bridal sessions.

Do you offer more services than you have listed here?

Yes! If you are in need of photography services that are not listed on my site, please contact me with further details on what you are looking for.
