Experience

what to expect

your story

starts here...


I’m not here to give you someone who will pose you and make the perfect picture. You don’t want that. You want someone who’s going to work with your personality and let you show off your true selves.

And I know I know you are probably saying  “I just don’t feel comfortable in front of a camera.” And I say: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This is why I started The Wild Folk Photography: because I believe in creating an experience where YOU feel comfortable, where YOU can be yourself without feeling pressured into something that doesn’t fit your style or personality, and where YOU can have fun exploring new ways to showcase who YOU really are.

I'm a photographer who specializes in making my clients feel comfortable.

That's because I've been there. You know what it's like: you're standing in front of the camera and your face is frozen in a weird expression, or your body is all twisted up and contorted into an uncomfortable position. It's not fun for anyone!

I'm here to help you break out of those awkward situations, so that you can be YOU and show off what makes YOU special. And if that means looking like a complete fool myself? Well... that's just part of the job!

So if you ever see me at a session,  just know you’ll most likely see me hoopin’ and hollerin’ or cheering like a crazy woman because I’ll do just about WHATEVER it takes to help my clients to feel more comfortable... even if it means looking like a complete fool myself!

So what do you say? You Ready?

Hey, you! Did you know that YOU are the most important part of any session?

You prefer relaxed unposed natural looking photos vs the staged prom posed type.

You want to not only have a pretty photo but, a memory to relive when you look back on it.

Don’t want to be matchy matchy wearing jeans and a white t-shirt

And finally... 
Down to have some fun at your session!!!!!

you might be my client if...

So why am I different from any other amazing photographer out there? Well, let’s be honest—just about EVERY market is pretty saturated! So let's see if any of the things below sound like you.

We are super shy and awkward - said every single person ever well I 👏🏼 CALL 👏🏼 BULL 👏🏼 AND 👏🏼 RAISE 👏🏼 YOU 👏🏼 THESE.⁣

tell your insecurities to go to hell & let's go for it!

F.A.Q.

frequently asked questions

Do you Travel?

YES!!!! I love adventure and exploring. Session rates may vary depending on the location, so just let me know what you want or have in mind and we can go from there.




How many photos do we get?

Depending on your session you select you will either receive 40 high resolution digital files with a full session or 10 high resolution digital files with a mini session. Both include a print release form.





How do we get our photos? 

Well online of course! Your session will be uploaded to your personal online gallery and download pin. You will have 24/7 access to your online gallery as well as your download link to instantly download your favorite images onto your computer. This gallery will be available for 14 days after delivery date.





Do you retouch photos?

I do a light retouch of your images. Basic retouching includes color correction, exposure adjustment, etc. I try to keep my work looking authentic to how you naturally are.






What's your turnaround time?

My turnaround time is 14 days for my typical sessions. this is always subject to change. During my busy season such as fall and near the holidays this may be extended. just know i try my very best to get your photos back to you asap. I do offer a rush fee if that is needed.







What kind of gear do you use?

 I use a Canon 5D MIV and a Canon 5D MIII. I use a variety of lenses, but my favorite is my 35mm!







Can you help us with planning?

 HELL YES! I am always down to help my clients plan a perfect session!!!!! i believe when we put our heads together we can literally create something epic!







How far out do you book?

I book out pretty far into the year if you are wanting a fall session they seem to book up extremely fast! I would recommend booking in early Summer if you are wanting Fall photos! But, usually if you contact me last minute I can try and fit you into my schedule.




What should we wear?

Not sure what to wear? That's okay I gotchu!!!! I give all my clients that book a full session with me a complete what to wear guide to help you pick out the perfect outfits for your session! :)






How do we book our shoot?

To book, simply send me an email and we’ll find a date together! In order to hold your session I require a 50% non refundable retainer and signed contracts.





Do you deliver every image you shoot?

Nope, I do not. I eliminate duplicate images, missed shots, missed focus shots, images with bad expressions, and other overall images that may dilute overall product delivery. But, rest assured i will give you a beautfiul gallery with variety.







Do you deliver RAWS?

It’s so important to me that you only receive beautifully-toned, print-ready photographs! For this reason, I never release my RAW files. Every photograph you receive is a finished product, ready for display!







You’ll just Photoshop me, right?

No, but my editor can for an extra charge per image! The only session i do more photoshop on other than basic belimish removal and skin smoothing is when you book a portrait or senior session with me. I am here to enhance your natural beauty not make you look unrealistic.








When is my payment due? 

Your retainer is due before the date can be reserved. The remainder of your balance is to be paid before the session begins.



What forms of payment do you take?

I accept payment via Venmo, Square, or Cash.

***I do offer a discounted rate for sessions paid in cash. You will still need to put down a retainer at booking but the discounted rate will be applied to your total amount.






What happens if it rains or bad weather?  

Please remember weather does play a role in lighting, and rain and snow is something I do reschedule for but very rarely I think cloudy, muggy, or snowy day are totally fine and often make for even more beautiful images!






What if I don’t like my pictures? 

The photographs you see in my portfolio and in my sample galleries are indicative of the photographs you can expect from your own session. If you like what you’ve seen, I think you’ll be very happy with your pictures! However, if you’re feeling worried that we may not be a good fit, I certainly respect that! I’ll be happy to refer you to some other photographers if my work isn’t resonating with you the way I’d hoped it would. My number one goal is for you to be happy!






Do you charge extra for large groups?

Yes, I charge extra for any extended family group sessions! Anything over 6 people.








Can we bring a change of outfits?

If you'd like to get some extra variety in your photos or just aren't sure what to wear, feel free to bring a change of clothes to change in the car etc during the shoot.








Can we bring props and or our pets

Lifestyle sessions are natural, candid, and fun! I strive to capture authentic moments and genuine interaction. For this reason, I try to keep props and posing to a minimum. As having a fur baby of my own, I couldn’t imagine having pictures without him (even though he is a little crazy) . It is never any charge to bring your pet, but I do require you to let me know if your pet is coming. If you are bringing your pet please tire them out a little. This will allow them to be a little calmer (hopefully) for your session.
