THE DAY YOU'VE PLANNED AND WAITED FOR IS FINALLY HERE!!
It's finally photo shoot day and I am so excited to take your pictures!!! All you have to do is show up and enjoy the moment. We're going to have so much fun and kill those nerves so you feel confident and comfortable in front of my lens. I will give you simple, easy to follow instructions that will pose you in ways that compliment your body. I will make silly jokes to make the kiddos laugh. I want you to look and feel amazing so that it shows in your photos.
At the end of the session; my ultimate goal is to leave you feeling like I'm a long lost friend and you had an amazing experience!
I DO NOT JUST SHOW UP AND CLICK.
You will get a Sneak Peek of about 25 images within 48 hours after your session, either privately or by social media post (whichever you choose). The rest of the images will be sent via email once the gallery is completed.

WAITING IS LITERALLY THE HARDEST PART BUT I PROMISE YOU- IT'S WORTH IT!

Once your gallery is finished- you will receive an email with all your images in a online gallery from where you can view, download and save, or order prints directly from a professional print lab.
The email includes a super easy guide to show you where all the essential buttons are!

What is the turnaround time like for my gallery?

Peak season 1 - 2 weeks
WEDDINGS - Typically within 4-6 weeks depending on my workload before your Wedding.

Do I have to order prints through you?
IT'S YOUR CALL
We always recommend ordering through us to receive the best quality of prints from professional labs where photography is understood and appreciated.
However if you choose to download your images and order elsewhere- that is absolutely fine! We recommend Shutterfly.
Will there be a second shooter?
That depends on your needs and the session you choose. Typically a second shooter is only recommended for average to larger weddings or family sessions with more than 6 people or pets.
We strongly recommend a second shooter in these circumstances to optimize your coverage and ensure things run as seamlessly as possible.
What's your style?
Our style is candid. We love in the moment shots that show true personalities and real smiles. We help pose you for situations that call for it.
Editing style is different- many other photographers have one set style; that many people seek. I have an artistic background and I taylor my editing to my clients; if you prefer light and airy, dark and moody or just simple black and whites... I adjust my editing to your preferences.
Do you shoot destination weddings?
OF COURSE!
We love to travel and see where your vision and your journey takes us!
So far we've been to North Carolina, Florida, Maine, The Adirondack Mountains and Ohio.
Pennsylvania and Western New York are home base though.
Can I Have The Originals / RAW Images?
Unfortunately, under no circumstances will raw images ever be released to any client. (It’s in the contract)
That’s why you hire a professional photographer; to receive professional quality images with artistic points of view...
It’d be like asking Joan Jett for her lyrics to an unreleased/ unfinished song. You’re essentially paying for the artistry of the photographer- not just a picture.
What kind of gear do you use?
We use NIKON.
Jen operates both Nikon D750 and a Z6ii. Both are top notch professional DSLR & Mirrorless cameras. They are always together in her bag to ensure back ups incase of malfunctions.
Vicky operates a Nikon D3400. A standard DSLR professional camera.
Can I Bring My Dog?
YES!
WE LOVE PETS!
Can I extend the session on the day of?
ABSOLUTELY!
If extra time is needed all you have to do is ask! We always make sure we give our clients needs priority before ending a session. Providing it doesn't interfere with another session we usually will accommodate extended sessions.
*Certain Sessions may require an extension fee.
