Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book?

For weddings, I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance. Portrait sessions can typically be scheduled 2-4 weeks out, though peak seasons (fall colors, spring blooms) book up faster.

What's included in my session?

All sessions include professional editing, an online gallery for easy sharing, and print release. Wedding packages include engagement sessions and USB delivery of all images.

Do you travel outside St. George?

Absolutely! I love exploring new locations. Travel within 30 miles is complimentary. For destinations like Bryce Canyon or beyond, a small travel fee applies.

When will I receive my photos?

Portrait sessions are delivered within 1-2 weeks. Weddings take 4-6 weeks due to the extensive editing process. Real estate photos are ready in 24-48 hours.

What happens if weather doesn't cooperate?

Utah weather can be unpredictable! We'll monitor conditions and have backup plans. Indoor locations or rescheduling options ensure your session isn't compromised.

Do you provide hair and makeup recommendations?

Yes! I work with several talented hair and makeup artists in the St. George area and can provide recommendations based on your style and budget.
