The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Absolutely, I do.
(Please tell me you got my The Office reference there)
But in all seriousness, yes I do! It is ALWAYS a good idea to get out and see new places - something I will always chase after.
How long have you been doing this?
I have been photographing since I was just a wee little one -about 10 years old. However, I started shooting professionally in 2015, after my husband gifted me my very first DSLR, and opened Celestial Images in November 2017.
How many photos do we get?
The number of edited images varies depending on your type of session. For example; a Mini Session will get you 15 edited images, while a Full Session will get you 25. These set numbers are a minimum guaranteed amount, but does not always mean a limit.
How do we get our photos?
Your photos will be delivered to you in an online digital gallery through this website! Your gallery is entirely private, unless you have otherwise given me permission to share your images as a part of my portfolio and advertising.
Do you retouch photos?
In a sense, yes. I do basic retouches such as, evening out and smoothing skin to reduce the appearance of blemishes, and slight iris enhancing to brighten the eyes. However, I will not alter the appearance of the true you -like making changes to your body to conform to a different size or shape. My purpose of photography is to capture the real you, not change who you are or what you look like!
Whats your turn around time?
I guarantee 5 sneak peek photos within the first 24 hours of your session. From there, your final gallery will be complete and sent to you by 2 weeks out from your session date.
How do we book you?
Booking can be done by simply sending me an inquiry here through my website. Another booking option for you if you have found me on social media, is to go ahead and send me a private message through my Instagram or Facebook page.
Can you help us with planning?
Of course! I enjoy planning (huge list maker over here), and am always happy to help! Anything from location choices, to outfit choices, and type of session -I've got you.
How far out do you book?
Typically, I book 2-3 months out. Occasionally I have cancellations that will free up a spot. You can find out about those last minute openings through my social media, (mainly Instagram) where I will post and try to fill that spot.
What should we do for an engagement session?
Engagement sessions are one of my all time favorites! First thing I recommend is having a vision in mind of what type of session and vibe you want to have. Most often than not, photos from your engagement session are used for Save The Dates so I suggest going with a theme that suits your wedding vision as well as your love story. From there, you and I can collectively decide on a location that fits your vision from a list of locations I will give to you when you inquire. The rest is a breeze! Picking a date and time, and payment are the last details to tie up. If you'd like to book an elopement or intimate wedding with me, ask me for my pricing guide and we will get you all taken care of!
What should we wear?
I use an online styling guide that I send to all of my clients who have booked a session with me. It as an awesome resource and tool that covers all the basics and more! You'll fill out the simple questionnaire about your session, comfort levels with clothing, sizes, location, colors, budget -the works. The styling guide will then offer you ideas and suggestions, and even show you where you can buy the particular items it displays for you! Pretty nifty, right?
