The FAQs
Do you Travel?
Absolutely! I’m always up for an adventure and love bringing my creativity wherever your story takes me. Just share your location details, and once we’ve sorted out travel arrangements, I’ll be there, camera in hand and ready to capture something beautiful together!
How long have you been doing this?
I started photography as a hobby in June of 2020. When I was bored during the pandemic, I would get my camera out and photograph my dog or a friend of mine and quickly realized my love for being behind the camera!
How do we get our photos?
You'll gain access to an online image gallery that allows you to download the images to your phone or computer. Feel free to share them on social media and even purchase prints if you'd like!
Do you retouch photos?
I'm capable of retouching photos, but my usual style leans towards maintaining a natural look. Nonetheless, I do perform basic touch-ups like clearing blemishes, enhancing teeth, or eliminating distracting elements like wires. If you'd like more extensive retouching, that can be arranged for an additional fee upon request.
Whats your turn around time?
I know how exciting it is to see your photos, so I work hard to deliver your beautiful gallery as quickly as possible! For most sessions, you can expect your full gallery within 2–3 weeks. During busy seasons like spring and fall, things might take a little longer, but I promise, it’ll be worth the wait!
How do we book you?
Simply fill out the contact form in the 'contact' tab or email me at thrivemgllc@gmail.com, and I will get back with you as soon as I can!
How many photos will I get back?
Making sure you adore the photos is super important to me. Right now, I don't limit the number of photos you get because I don't want to miss any moments from your session. I usually give you at least 75 edited photos for most of my sessions! But what really matters to me is giving you all your memories, not just hitting a certain number.
Do you photograph weddings?
While I truly love the magic of weddings, I’ve found my heart feels most at home with the smaller, more intimate celebrations, elopements, non-traditional days, and weddings that focus less on the fuss and more on the love. These moments let me tell a story that’s deeply personal and true to you.
As a mom, I also value time with my own family, which is why I’m intentional about the weddings I take on. I typically gravitate toward shorter celebrations and only book a limited number each year. If your day is more about connection than tradition, we might be the perfect fit.
How far in advance should I book a photography session?
To make sure we can get your session on the calendar, I recommend booking at least 2 months in advance, especially during busy seasons like fall, which fills up fast! If you're hoping for a fall session, it's never too early to reach out.
What's your approach to capturing candid moments vs. posed shots?
I have such a deep love for candid moments, the ones that happen naturally and tell your story just as it is. That’s why I focus on capturing your session in a way that feels real and relaxed. Of course, I know the value of a good posed photo too, so you’ll get a nice mix of both in your final gallery. My goal is to give you a collection that feels full, honest, and meaningful, just like your life.
