FAQ

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

I AM A NIKON GIRL, SHOOTING WITH TWO NIKON D810 CAMERAS.  I USE MOSTLY PRIME LENSES, MY FAVORITES BEING 50MM 1.4, 35MM 1.4 AND 45MM TILTSHIFT.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS?

I TOOK MY FIRST PHOTOGRAPH WHEN I WAS 12 AND HAVE HAD A CAMERA IN MY HAND, CAPTURING LIFE, EVER SINCE.  I HAVE BEEN RUNNING MY OWN FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR 7 YEARS.

DO YOU EDIT ALL THE PHOTOS?

I GO THROUGH ALL THE PHOTOS TAKEN AT THE SHOOT AND PULL OUT THE BEST ONES TO PERSONALLY EDIT AND THEN GIVE TO YOU.  EACH IMAGE THAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE INDIVIDUALLY EDITED TO BRING OUT IT'S BEST QUALITIES.  

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN A CLIENT?

I LOVE WHEN CLIENTS HIRE ME AS AN ARTIST AND NOT JUST A PHOTOGRAPHER, TO CAPTURE THEIR SPECIAL LIFE STORIES.  MY CLIENTS TEND TO BE APPRECIATORS OF ART  AND HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF QUIRK.  BUT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, THE CHANCES ARE PRETTY HIGH THAT I AM GOING TO TOTALLY FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU AND YOUR STORY.  I HAVE NO IDEAL CLIENT, I ADORE PHOTOGRAPHING EVERY SINGLE KIND OF PERSON.

WHO RETAINS THE COPYRIGHT TO OUR IMAGES?

WE’LL BOTH SHARE THE COPYRIGHT TO THE IMAGES. YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO ORDER YOUR OWN PRINTS ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME, AS WELL AS SHARE YOUR PHOTOS ALL OVER YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA (DON’T FORGET TO TAG ANNA CAITLIN PHOTOGRAPHY!). IF YOU WANT TO USE THEM FOR ANY COMMERCIAL OR PROFESSIONAL WORK, DROP ME A LINE AND WE CAN CHAT ABOUT IT FIRST.

DO YOU TRAVEL?

YES INDEED!  I LOVE TO HOP ON A PLANE AND GO SOMEWHERE NEW!  TRAVEL EXPENSES (PLANE TICKET AND LODGING) ARE THE ONLY TRAVEL FEES.

HOW DO WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?

FOR PORTRAIT SESSIONS ALL OF YOUR EDITED HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES ARE HOSTED ON AN ONLINE GALLERY WHERE YOU CAN SHARE AND DOWNLOAD AT YOUR OWN CONVENIENCE.

FOR WEDDINGS, ALL OF YOUR EDITED HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES ARE HOSTED ON AN ONLINE GALLERY WHERE YOU CAN SHARE AND DOWNLOAD AS WELL AS A WOODEN USB STICK THAT IS MAILED TO YOU.  MOST WEDDING PACKAGES COME WITH A PRINT PACKAGE AS WELL.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY PORTRAIT SESSION?

NEUTRAL COLORS AND BLACK PHOTOGRAPH VERY WELL AND ARE ALWAYS SAFE BETS.  HOWEVER THE RIGHT POP OF COLOR CAN BE JUST WHAT A PHOTO NEEDS!  I WOULD SAY BE YOU!  BE COMFORTABLE!  AND IT WILL BE PERFECT!  I AM ALWAYS MORE THAN HAPPY TO CHAT MORE ABOUT THIS, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH AND WE CAN TALK IN MORE DETAIL.

HOW MANY WEDDINGS DO YOU SHOOT A YEAR?

I TAKE ON A LIMITED AMOUNT OF WEDDINGS PER YEAR, USUALLY AROUND 20, TO KEEP THE QUALITY HIGH AND MY LIFE SANE.

HOW MANY HOURS SHOULD WE BOOK FOR OUR WEDDING?

THE MAJORITY OF WEDDINGS ARE 8 HOURS OF SHOOTING TIME, HOWEVER THERE IS NO RIGHT NUMBER SO IF YOUR WEDDING IS LESS OR MORE, THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM!  I LIKE TO BE VERY FLEXIBLE WITH WEDDING PACKAGES.

DO YOU BRING A SECOND SHOOTER TO WEDDINGS?

I BRING A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER WITH ME TO MOST WEDDINGS WITH A GUEST LIST OF OVER 150 PEOPLE.  IF YOU WANT A SECOND SHOOTER FOR A SMALLER WEDDING, THAT CAN TOTALLY BE ARRANGED.

WHAT DO YOU EAT AT THE THE WEDDING? 

ALL OF MY WEDDINGS THUS FAR HAVE PROVIDED ME WITH SOME OF THE SAME DINNER THE GUESTS EAT.  THIS HOWEVER IS NOT A REQUIREMENT, JUST A COURTESY.  I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO PACK MY OWN FOOD IF NEEDS BE.  EITHER WAY I EAT WHILE THE BRIDE AND GROOM EAT, SINCE THERE IS NOTHING OF INTEREST TO PHOTOGRAPH DURING THAT TIME.
