Question 4

Do you travel for photoshoots?

Accepted Answer

Yes! While I’m based in Rochester, I love capturing love stories in unique and scenic locations. Whether it’s a cozy engagement session in upstate New York, a beachside proposal, or a romantic cityscape shoot, I’m up for the adventure.

Sessions in Rochester, Syracuse, and the Finger Lakes have no travel fees if booked within certain dates. Definitely ask! For other locations, we can discuss travel arrangements and any additional fees during our initial consultation.

Question 5

How long after the session will we receive our photos?

Accepted Answer

I take great care in hand-editing every image to achieve that signature nostalgic, film-inspired look for digital is matched with actual film scans.

My standard turnaround time is 1-2 weeks for full sessions and 4 weeks for larger projects. If you need a few sneak peeks sooner, just let me know—I’m happy to send a few highlights within a few days of your shoot!

Question 6

Can we reschedule if the weather is unfavorable?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Some of the best engagement sessions and film portraits happen in natural light, so I want to ensure we have the best conditions possible. If the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll reschedule to a new date that works for both of us.

If you’re open to it, we can also embrace the rain or moody skies for a shoot indoors. I match my film stocks and digital styles to the environment and vibe of our shoot.

Question 7

What should we wear for our engagement or portrait session?

Accepted Answer

The key to great photos is wearing something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and timeless. I recommend neutral tones, soft textures, and classic styles that complement the aesthetic of film photography.

Avoid logos or busy patterns, as they can take away from the natural, organic feel of your session. If you need guidance, I offer personalized styling tips and even mood boards to help you curate the perfect look!

Question 8

Do you offer prints, albums, or framed portraits?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Digital galleries are great, but there’s something special about holding your memories in print. I offer a variety of fine art prints, handcrafted albums, and museum-quality framed portraits that preserve your images in a way that feels both timeless and personal.

You can order professional-grade prints directly from your online gallery, ensuring beautiful colors and archival-quality materials that last a lifetime.

Looking for other fun keepsakes? I offer Custom RetroViewers and Film Roll Keychains as an add-on.

Question 9

How do you edit your photos? Do you provide RAW files?

Accepted Answer

Every photo is carefully edited to match film-inspired, nostalgic aesthetics—warm tones, soft highlights, and natural skin tones that feel cinematic yet authentic - especially mixed with professional Kodak Film stocks.

My editing style is inspired by vibrant vintage family photography, vintage color palettes, and timeless storytelling. Because of this, I do not provide RAW files, as the editing process is an essential part of my artistic vision.

You will have hi-res files that you are welcome to use for social, websites, albums and prints.
