What are your Hours?

My business hours are:

  • Sunday + Monday: CLOSED
  • Tuesday - Saturday: By Appointment Only

Can I bring our Fur Baby to the session?

Absolutely! I love dogs so much! I have my own little guy, Opie! Well-trained pups are always welcome. Just make sure to bring lots of treats (same goes for the kiddos!). Please note that you must bring someone who is not being photographed to handle your pup when they are not in the shot. This is a must!

Do you travel?

I travel all throughout New England only. Travel fees do apply over 30 miles of zip code 02861.

Do I receive all of my digital images?

  • Weddings & Engagements:  Yes
  • All other sessions: You will receive your full gallery and be able to pick your favorite images from there. We will discuss this process during our phone call! 

 

Will you give me the RAW files?

Simply put, no. I pride myself on only delivering fully edited high-resolution images to all of my clients. You hired me for my skills and talent and I will follow through on the entire process! 

Do you always work with a second photographer at weddings?

No I do not. Associate Second Photographers can be added to your photography collection for a fee.

Do you edit all of your photographs?

I sure do! After your session we will schedule your gallery reveal day for 2 weeks later. This is typically done in person but due to COVID can be done via Zoom! The photographs you see will not be edited at that time. The images you choose are the images that will be fully edited and sent to you. I hand edit each and every images one by one to ensure each photo is up to my style of editing.

How many images will I receive?

The number of photos taken depends on a variety of things. The hours of coverage, type of event, etc.

Weddings: Typically about 100 images per hour.

All other sessions: Anywhere from 5-30 images depending on the session type.

Do you design wedding albums?

Heck Yeah!!! I love designing albums and highly encourage it! I also design albums for maternity/newborn. The album design process happens after you receive your final images!

Do you have a studio?

I do not have a studio but I am able to rent spaces in Pawtucket, RI , Attleboro, MA and Whittinsville, MA.

What time of day is best for our portrait session?

About 1.5 hours before sunset is the best time for a portrait session. This gives you that soft, ethereal light that is seen in my work. I avoid harsh mid-day light. 

Do you have insurance and a business license?

Yes to both! If your venue needs proof of insurance please reach out several months before your wedding so I can get that to them. 

What kind of Camera do you use?

I use mirrorless cameras - Nikon Z6ii and Z7ii

Did you go to school for photography?

I sure did! I graduated from Rhode Island College in 2008 with a degree in Studio Art concentrating in both Photography + Graphic Design. I photographed my first wedding in 2007 and was photographing family portraits on the side while I was working the 9-5 life as a graphic designer. I took the leap of faith in 2013 and quit the cubicle life to open my own studio and never looked back!
