Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose Ren?
If you’re here, chances are you liked what you saw! Finding a photographer that can provide the exact look you’re searching for can be difficult. From personal experience, photos can often turn out disappointing if you work with someone whose work you don’t love. If you love what you see with me, then let’s book!
Is the price worth it?
Absolutely. You’re not just paying for photos, you’re investing in an experience and images you’ll come back to again and again. The result is a curated set of high-quality images that reflect who you are, elevate how you see yourself, and can be reused for years. When the experience feels empowering and the images still hit years later, that value doesn’t fade.
What if I feel awkward in front of the camera?
I will guide you through every step, from planning to posing, so you’re never left feeling awkward or unsure. I strive to create a warm and cozy environment to ensure that you are as comfortable and confident as possible. This is a no judgement zone, so taking a moment is absolutely okay and I will never take photos if you seem uncomfortable!
What do you call your style of photography?
I mainly shoot environmental portraits with a retro feel. Environmental is any type of photography that extenuates the subject and the background to tell a story. This is great to show personality, profession, and lifestyle, such as headshots, senior photos, maternity, and engagements!
How long does a session last?
Most sessions last between 30 minutes to an hour, with a buffer before and after the photoshoot which is plenty of time to warm up, settle in, and create beautiful images without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a slower pace, multiple locations, or a deeper storytelling experience, extended sessions are also available.
When will I receive my photos?
You can expect your final, fully edited images within two weeks after your session. I take time to carefully curate and edit each photo so they reflect the mood, style, and quality you booked me for. No rushed or generic edits here!
How do I book, and what’s required to secure my date?
Booking is simple. Once you reach out via my contact form, and we make sure it’s the right fit, I will send an invoice over email to secure that date. From there, everything is locked in and the fun part begins.
Can I bring someone with me?
Absolutely. Whether it’s a partner, a close friend, or your kids, you’re welcome to bring someone along for support or to be part of the photos! I want you to feel comfortable, confident, and fully yourself.
What happens if it rains or plans change?
Life happens! Weather and unexpected changes are handled on a case-by-case basis. If conditions aren’t ideal, we’ll communicate and adjust, whether that means rescheduling, shifting locations, or reworking the plan to still get great images.
