How do I hold a date?
A signed agreement and a 50% retainer hold your date; the balance
is due on the day of the shoot. The retainer is non-refundable but
transfers if you reschedule (see below).
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens — one free reschedule with at least 48 hours'
notice. Weather-related moves for outdoor shoots are always free.
How long until I see my photos?
A sneak peek of 3–5 images within 48 hours. Full galleries are
delivered in about {{TURNAROUND_PORTRAIT}} for portraits and
{{TURNAROUND_EVENT}} for events.
How are the photos delivered?
Through your own private online gallery — view, favorite, and
download your included images, and order prints or extras directly.
Do you travel?
Shoots anywhere in Thurston County — Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater,
Yelm, Rainier, Tenino, Rochester — are always included, no travel
fee. Outside the county, I charge 75¢ per round-trip
mile from Thurston County, based on the 2026 IRS standard
business mileage rate (72.5¢/mile). It's quoted upfront when you
book, so there are never surprises. Tacoma, Centralia, and the coast
are all very doable.
