HEllo + welcome

So, you're considering me to be your photographer + you've reached this page to decide if we're a good match? Perfect! I'll tell you all you need to know about me + my business!

I launched my photography business in 2019, but I've had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember. You know...the pink Disney princess camera with the fake shutter sound? You best believe my five-year-old self took it everywhere I went!

Around here, you're more than just another session added to my calendar. Believe me when I say that I jump up + down with excitement at every inquiry, truly. My business is my whole wide world, and I pour my heart + soul into creating the best client experience. From offering outfit advice, providing location guides, and directing you throughout your entire session, I strive to be actively involved every step of the way. Booking with me means more than just paying for a gallery — you're investing in an experience + someone who will hype you up in all your Instagram photos to come!

You can expect to find rich colors + creamy skin tones throughout your gallery! My editing style leans very timeless & true-to-color, with warm undertones that enhance every detail. Every photo is hand-selected & edited by me to ensure high-quality & consistency in each image — it's the 'Shae way'.

When it comes to posing, you'll get the best of both worlds: a combination of classic, traditional poses and creative, playful candids!

QUESTIONS ABOUT MY PROCESS?

What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

For all sessions & weddings, I require a non-refundable retainer to secure your date. In the event that you cancel, you forfeit your retainer.

If you need to reschedule, I'm happy to apply your retainer towards a new date within 6 months of your original session date.

*For weddings — more details on this are outlined in my contract.

What happens if the weather is uncooperative on the day of our session?

Utah weather tends to be unpredictable! No worries! In the event of poor weather, we'll discuss alternative options such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. Your retainer will be applied towards the new session date, should we have to reschedule.

Because the show must go on with wedding days, I'm always ready + prepared to capture your day — rain or shine!

I've never had professional photos taken before. What should I expect?

No worries! I will guide you through your entire session with prompts + poses. We'll do a variety of sitting and standing poses.

If you're bringing multiple outfits to your session, I'll provide a changing tent for you to use.

Do you choose the location or do we?

Unless you have a set location in mind that you'd like to use, I will provide a handful of locations that fit the vibe you request (mountains, fields, etc.).

What does your editing include?

Standard editing includes exposure adjustments, color corrections, and minor retouching (i.e.: removing temporary blemishes or distracting elements in the background). I will not alter or manipulate body shapes, sizes, or features.

An additional fee may be required if I have to outsource more complex editing requests.

*Please note: RAW and/or unedited photos will not be delivered — only the final product.
