How does Image delivery work?

I do, up to 2 times. I am very busy and I take pride in my work and know which season's are best. So I am very picky on taking rescheduled clients.

Do you reschedule?

frequently asked questions →

My approach is a delicate mix of photojournalism and editorial, with an emphasis on the moment. You can expect careful guidance, simple posing and encouragement to just be yourself. I pose you on how to stand all the way to the last finishing touches on hand placement and posture!

how do you pose?

All invoice and contracts will be through a formal client portal called Honeybook! Once you are ready to save the date I will promptly send you 1) Invoice & 2) Contract to get started. Once the deposit & Contract are signed, I will countersign and then you are officially a Katherine.Mei bride! *date's are not saved till those two items are submitted*

how do we book?

How do Payments work?

In short, no I don't. It's not a true representation of my work.

Travel fees?

Do you offer raw photos?

Travel fees are customized based where you want to shoot. Ask me and I cam math an invoice for you.. A flat rate will be included in your custom proposal to cover the airfare, lodging, rental car and other key travel expenses. All travel within 30miles of Indy are included.  Outside of that radius there is a milage fee and overnight fee if needed. 

My mission is to honor your story while ensuring that this visual legacy will outlast any trend. As such, expect a timeless storytelling technique, and an experience that prioritizes your vision. I truly cannot wait to connect. Let’s schedule a time to talk if you have more questions or want to customize your day!
