And then, somehow, they're the ones you miss the most.

That's what I want to photograph.

1. Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes! I’m based in Hawai‘i but love documenting love stories anywhere in the world. Travel fees vary depending on location — share your vision, and I’ll create a custom quote for your destination.

2. Do you help with planning our engagement session?

Absolutely. I’ll help you choose locations, outfits, and timing to reflect your connection and the story you want to tell. My goal is to make the process easy and enjoyable.

3. What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Life happens — I understand. Retainers are non-refundable but can be transferred to a new date with advance notice and availability. Just reach out at least 48 hours in advance so we can find a solution together. Cancellations and no shows will not be refunded.

4. Do you offer digital files, prints, or albums?

Every collection includes high-resolution digital files delivered in a curated online gallery. Fine art prints and custom albums are also available upon request — they’re the perfect way to preserve your memories beyond the screen.

5. Do you shoot film?

Yes! I love incorporating film into sessions for its nostalgic, timeless feel. It adds a soft, emotional texture that pairs beautifully with digital images. If you’d like to include film in your session or wedding day, I offer it as an optional add-on — just let me know during booking.

6. Can I request specific poses or shots?

Of course! I welcome your ideas and inspiration. While I’ll guide you through natural prompts and candid moments, I always make space for the shots that matter most to you.

7. Can we meet before the session?

Yes, please! Whether it’s in person, over coffee, or via video chat, I love connecting before the session. It helps us get comfortable and make sure your experience feels personal and true to you.

8. How long till I receive the final photos?

You’ll receive a sneak peek within a week and your full gallery within 4–6 weeks. Every image is carefully edited to reflect the emotion and atmosphere of your day.

9. Do you require a deposit?

Yes. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required for portrait sessions and a 25% non-refundable retainer is required for weddings.

10. When is my payment due?

Your deposit is due upon booking your session with me. Your session can be paid in full at any time and must be paid in full 24 hours prior to your photoshoot. If your session is not paid in full 24 hours prior, your session will be forfeited without being able to reschedule.

11. How far in advance can I book with you?

Anytime! Even if it's last minute, you never know, I might be available! I recommend booking at least a week in advance to ensure there is availability.

12. What is your weather policy?

I monitor the weather days leading up to our session. If the weather shows that it is unsafe to drive or to have my gear out, I will reach out to you 24 hours before the session to either reschedule or relocate. If you don't mind a little rain in your photos and it's still safe, we can definitely still shoot!
