Planning a photoshoot is indeed a collaborative process, and having a clear vision is key to creating stunning photos. Whether you're envisioning a specific theme, style, or location, or if you're seeking creative input, I'd love to hear more about what you have in mind. Are you thinking of a particular setting or mood for your photos? Let's dive into the details and make sure we capture exactly what you're looking for!
What should I bring to the shoot?
A pair of comfortable shoes to walk in. Water to keep hydrated on a hot day. A warm jacket on a cold day. Toys or candies to get your babies or pets attention. Any props that you would like to incorporate into your session, like books, photos, blankets, hats, musical instruments, and etc. will help to further enhance the overall aesthetic of your photos. Make-up so that you can do touch ups if needed.
Can I bring a friend to help during the shoot?
I ENCOURAGE you to bring a partnet with you during your photoshoot! They can help to support you, make you feel comfortable, and bring out your natural smile. They can also assist with your belongings and add to the fun atmosphere of the shoot. Plus, I can also make them work!
How many outfits can I bring?
You can bring as many outfits as we can fit into your session. If you feel that you may not have enough time, we can always add more time to your session so you can where all of your outfits!
Where can I view and download the images?
You will be provided a link to the gallery after the shoot for you to pick your images that you want edited according to the package you’ve purchased. Once the gallery is completely edited, a new link will be sent to you with a download pin which will allow you to download the images without the watermark and in full size.
What are your Photography Styles?
Bright, vibrant, and true-to-color photography really helps capture the essence and atmosphere of the moment. It's all about preserving those natural colors and creating images that reflect the beauty of the day.
Do you do Mini Sessions?
I host exclusive mini sessions annually! These sessions coincide with the blooming of my flowers and take place on weekday evenings at sunset. Given the limited availability of weekends, I prioritize them for full package clients or events. Each mini session spans 30 minutes and includes 8 fully edited images for $175. Stay tuned for announcements about Mini Sessions on my Facebook and Instagram pages!
We want to shoot at a location that requires a permit, how do you go about that?
If the location you've chosen requires a permit, we'll need sufficient time to contact the venue, confirm a date, and arrange payment. Once your location is chosen, I'll reach out to the venue to determine the most convenient dates for everyone involved. Please note that venue prices will vary and will be included in your overall payment when booking the photoshoot.
How long will it take you to finish the gallery?
Portrait sessions take between 2-4 weeks.
Events and Weddings take between 2-3 months and wedding wilms can take 3-4 months to compelte.
Are there travel fees?
Travel fee = $0.50/mile round-trip
45 minutes - 1 Hour Minimum is needed to do the simple formal poses. More time will be needed if you want to do more fun and posed shots. The formals of the Bride and Groom can be done while the guests are having dinner. We will sneak you guys out for a 15 minute session for romantic sunset photos.
We do not have a set amount of photos you will get because it will depend on what kind of activity (content) you will have during the day.
Some events will have many activities and so will generate more images. Each event and wedding are set up differently, so the amount of images you will get will also vary.
Yes! But it will depend on if I am available for that day including the days that I must spend to travel there. All details can be discussed prior to booking commitments.
Yes! my husband, Houa Xiong, is usually my second photographer! He will help to capture the moment but from a different angle or help gte shots that I may be too busy to see. As the main photographer, I follow te bride and groom in order to photograph their moments with their guests. Meanwhile, Houa focuses on photographing candid moments among family members and guests. This teamwork allows us to capture every aspect of your day from different perspectives.
I have a videography option available for weddings and events. When requesting for this service - I will break down pricing and additional details.
