Questions for Your Naperville Photographer?

Q: What’s included in your family photography sessions?  A: 1 hour included which is great for any family photoshoot, birthday, or any other event. Photos will be edited and posted online for viewing for family and friends to purchase prints or other products.      Q: Do you travel?  A: Absolutely! I travel all throughout the Chicago region and will definitely travel outside of IL or even to a destination wedding outside of the country. Just let me know where you plan on getting married and I can send you a custom quote.      Q: Do you offer “Mini Sessions” coverage due to COVID-19 restrictions?  A: Yes! Smaller sessions with less coverage is available. I’m completely flexible in creating a custom collection that will fit your needs. Just because there’s a pandemic doesn’t mean you can’t have beautiful photographs to cherish forever!     Q: What happens if my session needs to be rescheduled?  A: If the unfortunate happens and you have to reschedule your photo session, I want to make it as easy as possible for you. We’ll discuss possible dates and choose a new one and we’ll move forward as if that was the original date. No rescheduling fees or anything like that if the new date is within 12 months of the original date.      Q: How do you handle someone who is shy in front of the camera?  A: Does anyone really like getting their photo taken? Well, outside of a model, I guess… But seriously, I know exactly where you’re coming from - I myself prefer to be behind the camera. Most people are shy in front of the camera and that’s totally okay. 85% of my shots are photojournalistic in nature. After what I call ‘setting the scene’ (get the lighting set up and making sure the environment is clean) I then let REAL moments unfold while capturing everything. Obviously, there are times that need me to step in, but I don’t really “pose” and instead, I direct. Also, when it comes to formals, I like to keep everyone moving and laughing - this gets the most natural expressions which result in better photos.      Q: Do you have a second shooter?  A: Depending on the event, there may be multiple shooters on site.  I will always carry multiple cameras in the event of a mechanical breakdown.      Q: Do you offer albums and prints? Is it of high quality?  A: Yes and absolutely YES! I’m partnered with one of the best photo labs in the country and their albums are GORGEOUS. The pages are extra-thick at 1/16” and lay completely flat so an image can be displayed across the two pages with no loss to quality. A variety of cover options are available including leather, linen, and velvet - all in several different colors.  ​  Q: Are you available to meet in person?  A: Yes! I’d love to meet you and your family in person. I can go over all of my services, show you a sample album along with some other sample prints, and answer any questions you may have. This is also a great way to get to know each other to make sure we’ll be a good fit :)
