The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Yes, I do! I am based in Bentonville, Arkansas and travel up to 75 miles for no extra fees. If your vision takes you outside of those parameters, I am always happy to discuss what you have in mind!
How long have you been doing this?
After growing up being the go-to photographer for my friends and family and for school publications and events, I decided to start my LLC in July 2024 so that I could devote more time, energy, and passion into turning this idea into a career. It's been a whirlwind since and I have been all over the state of Arkansas and Missouri meeting so many amazing families. I would love to have the pleasure of meeting yours next!
How many photos do we get?
I offer multiple collection options, depending on the amount of time/complexity desired, to the amount of photos you'd like back. If you want all of them back, book a Storyteller session! If you'd really just like a few highlights, a mini may be more your style. All the information about the specific session you're booking is always listed up front before you decide for sure.
How do we get our photos?
Your photos (including sneak peeks!) are always sent in the form of an online gallery. This allows you to download your photos in high resolution format, free of watermarks, and with full printing rights for personal usage. Your photos are yours to download, print, and share as you please!
Do you retouch photos?
I do light, tasteful editing and retouching, which you can get a preview of through looking at my work. These edits are meant to enhance the photos rather than detract from them in any major way.
What's your turn around time?
While turnaround times may vary during busier seasons & it's best to check your specific booking/contract for the final say, for normal sessions excluding weddings and elopements, turnaround time is usually between 2-3 weeks! As a personal courtesy to you, I also send out sneak peeks to give you some photos to obsess over and share while you wait!
How do we book you?
I'd love to work with you! To book, click the booking link in the contact section. You can also message me on socials or shoot me an email at blankcanvasphotoco@gmail.com.
Can you help us with planning?
Absolutely! Included in your booking you'll see a blurb about helpful color coordinating for outfits, and I always encourage you to reach out to discuss inspiration, vision, or other ideas you may have so that I can help you plan locations, outfits, and more!
How far out do you book?
Generally, within one to two months for availability for normal sessions, but for events, weddings, or elopements, I am booking into 2027 on a consideration basis.
What should we do for an engagement session?
Engagement sessions are so much fun! I encourage you to reach out to me before or after booking your date and time to send me your Pinterest board, or any vibes/inspiration you may have for your photos. This can include a certain location or theme, or really any feeling or look that you may want to capture. Collaborating with you to make all the vibes come together brings me so much joy! Come the day of, you'll show up to our location, where I will meet you and take it from there. I will help you with any posing or questions you may have, so no need to feel awkward or worried, just be ready to have fun!
What should we wear?
The technical answer: solid, neutral colors photograph the best! Larger patterns work better than smaller patterns.
The simple answer: whatever makes you feel comfortable AND confident.
