FAQs
Do you have a studio, or do you shoot on location?
Yes, I offer both studio and on-location photography sessions to accommodate your needs and preferences. Whether you prefer the controlled environment of a studio setting or the natural backdrop of an outdoor location, I'm equipped to capture stunning images in either setting. Our studio is located in Merrick, NY and we encourage you to come in and see in person, whether you are having your session there or on location. Just let me know your preference, and we can plan the perfect session tailored to your vision.
What locations do you recommend?
When it comes to shooting on location, we have a few favorite spots that we love to recommend. However, we're also open to suggestions and welcome shooting at a location that is special to you and your family. Whether it's a park where you love to spend time together, a beach with sentimental value, or even your own backyard, we're here to accommodate your preferences.
It's important to note that some locations may require an additional permit fee, but we believe that the investment is usually worth it for the stunning backdrop it provides. Once your session is booked, we'll discuss specific locations in more detail and ensure that we choose a setting that perfectly suits your vision and style. Feel free to share any ideas or preferences you have, and we'll work together to make it happen!
Can you accommodate special requests or specific themes for the photo shoot?
Of course! I'm more than happy to accommodate special requests or specific themes for your photo shoot. Every session is customized to you, ensuring that we capture exactly what you envision. Whether you have a particular theme in mind, props you'd like to incorporate, or specific locations you'd like to shoot in, I'm here to bring your ideas to life. Your session is all about you, and I'll work closely with you to make sure we create images that reflect your unique style and personality. Just let me know your preferences, and we'll make it happen!
Can I request specific editing or retouching for my photos?
Yes, you can request specific editing or retouching for your photos. However, it's important to note that my editing style is a significant aspect of my photography brand. While I'm open to accommodating your preferences to the best of my ability, I typically maintain consistency with my established editing style to ensure the integrity of my work. If you have particular requests or adjustments in mind, please let me know during the booking process, and I'll do my best to meet your needs while staying true to my artistic vision.
How much should I budget for photos?
The budget for your photos will vary depending on the prints and products you plan to purchase. Prices start at $50 for small prints, but on average, clients invest $3500 in each session. This investment ensures that you receive high-quality products that beautifully showcase your images and preserve your memories for years to come. When planning your budget, consider the size and type of prints or products you desire, as well as any additional services or customization options you may want to include. Feel free to reach out for more information on pricing and product options tailored to your needs.
Do you offer packages or customizable options?
Yes, I offer customizable options for prints and products. All prints and products are available à la carte, allowing you to select the specific items that best suit your needs and preferences. I understand that every client is unique, and there's no one-size-fits-all package that works for everyone. That's why I tailor each option to your individual preferences, ensuring that you receive exactly what you're looking for. Whether you're interested in prints, albums, canvases, or other products, I'm here to help you create a personalized collection that perfectly showcases your images and fits within your budget. Please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss your customization options further.
Are prints and products included in your services, or are they available for purchase separately?

While my photography services focus on capturing and delivering high-quality images, prints, albums, and other products are additional options that you can choose to purchase to showcase and preserve your memories. I offer a variety of print sizes, albums, canvases, and other products to suit your preferences. Please inquire about pricing and options for prints and products when booking your session.
Do you provide digital files, and will I have the rights to print and share them?
