Frequently asked
If your question isn’t here, just ask — there are no stupid ones.
Booking
How do I check availability?
I keep a flexible schedule and will work with you to find a time that fits yours. Send me a note with the date you have in mind and I’ll tell you where things stand.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule?
Life happens, and sometimes you have to cancel at the last minute. All I ask is clear communication — I’m happy to work with you to find a new time. Wedding packages do carry a cancellation fee; ask me for the specifics before you book.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Venmo, cash or check, whichever is easiest for you. Just let me know your preference when you book.
How far in advance should I book?
TODO — Delaney’s real lead times. Weddings and fall portrait dates typically need the most notice.
The session
What should we wear?
TODO — Delaney’s real advice here. Generally: coordinate rather than match, pick one colour family, and choose clothes you can move in.
What if it rains?
Light rain often makes better photographs than full sun. If the weather is genuinely unworkable we’ll reschedule — usually decided the day before.
What time of day do you shoot?
The hour before sunset whenever possible. It is the single biggest difference in how a gallery looks.
Can we bring our dog?
Please do. I photograph pets on their own too — there’s a session just for them. Bring someone who can take them home afterwards, and check that the location allows pets.
We are not photogenic. Help.
Nobody is for the first ten minutes. That is built into the session, and you will get direction any time you want it.
What gear do you use?
A Sony A7 III mirrorless body, paired with a Sony 24–70mm and a 50mm f/1.8 — two lenses that give quite different perspectives on the same moment.
After the shoot
How many photographs will we get?
Your gallery includes every image I think fits the vision we talked about. In practice that’s 50+ to 100+ photographs per session, depending on the package you choose.
When do we get them?
Typically within two weeks of the session date, depending on the package and the type of shoot. If you need them sooner, rush editing is available for an additional fee.
How do we receive them?
A private online gallery with high-resolution digital files, which you can view, share and download.
Can we print them ourselves?
Yes. The files you receive are full resolution and ready to print.
Do you edit every photo?
Every image delivered to you is professionally edited. Retouching beyond that is available on request.
Will our photographs be posted online?
I may share favourites on Instagram and on this site. If you would rather I didn’t, just say so — that’s entirely your call.
Where I work
Where are you based?
Fort Collins, Colorado, shooting throughout Northern Colorado — Loveland, Greeley, Windsor, Estes Park and the Front Range.
Do you travel?
Happily, and I have — including a first-look session on a beach in Florida. TODO — confirm travel fees and how far is included before this goes live.
What kinds of sessions do you photograph?
Weddings and engagements, families and couples, senior and graduation portraits, business headshots, pets, and events from birthday parties to church gatherings to sporting events.
