FAQ:
My turn-around time is 1-2 weeks. This also is dependent on the time of the year, as in the spring I am a lot more busy! I am a full time college student so I have to make sure to balance everything, but I make it a priority to send out a handful of sneak peeks within 24 hours of the shoot! You will receive your final photos through an Adobe Lightroom link where you can download everything.
How can I pay you?
I accept cash, checks, Venmo, and CashApp! The full payment is due the day of the shoot. I do not require a non-refundable deposit prior to the shoot!
Can I bring a friend or family member?
Yes you can bring family and friends! I find that my clients are usually more comfortable around the camera if they know they have a familiar face nearby.
Will you retouch my photos?
I retouch blemishes and do light photoshop of the background, but other than that I do not retouch the pictures. I make it a priority to not edit permanent features of my clients as to make my work as authentic as possible and to let your beauty shine!
How do I save my photos?
When all of your photos are edited, I will send you a link via email which you can access on your phone to download and post.
Do you offer RAW/unedited pictures?
No, I do not. I believe taking the picture is only half of my photography, the other half being editing.
What do I wear to my senior shoot?
I would suggest one outfit representing your campus, one formal outfit, and one casual outfit! If you're indecisive, you can always send me a dm with a picture of your outfit and I can help you out :)
REVIEWS
Mario & Karen / Engagement Shoot
"We LOVE the pictures you took of us! You captured our love beautifully. I can't believe the amount of compliments I have gotten on them so far!"
Elisa / Prom Pictures
"Loved working with Ava for my prom pictures! Personally, I can be an awkward person and struggle with posing for pictures, but Ava had a lot of inspirations and ideas in mind that made our individual and group prom pictures look so good. I was able to feel comfortable taking my pictures, and it was easy to coordinate with her regarding location, dates, and payments. Not to mention how fast we were able to get our prom pictures. Definitely recommend taking pictures with Ava!"
John / Senior Pictures
“My photoshoot with Ava was my very first photoshoot. Thus I didn’t have a clue how and what I should be doing. However, being the diligent, easy-going individual that she is, she ensured that I had a buttery smooth first photoshoot. She definitely knows what she is doing and is very professional about it. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her.”
Kylie / Senior Pictures
"I had my very first photoshoot with Ava. I was nervous and didn't know what to expect, but she made me feel super comfortable. She ensured that I was okay and comfortable with everything she did. She is a professional behind the camera! I didn't have much experience with having my pictures taken, but she had many different visions and ideas for poses I could do that were in my comfort zone. We talked and communicated through my whole shoot, I was super comfortable and I loved talking to her. Even though I was nervous before the shoot, I had a blast and felt great afterwards. Ava is super easy to communicate with and very receptive. I highly recommend her to others who also want a very easy going, and fun photoshoot!"
Sarah / Couple & Portrait Shoot
I loved working with Ava. I came into our first session feeling very self conscious and nervous, but she helped me relax over the course of the shoot and feel confident! It really helped that she posed me as well, since I tend to not know what to do with my hands or where to look. I even came back with my partner and did a couples shoot with her, which was an equally calm and fun experience. Ava's editing is phenomenal! My partner and I are opposites in terms of colouring and Ava managed to edit our photos so it complimented both of our color palettes. I highly recommend Ava for a solo or couple’s shoot! She will make you feel at home!
Daniel / Couple's Shoot
I had a great experience with Ava. I did a couple’s shoot with my partner and felt very relaxed throughout the entire session. It was lighthearted and we had a good time. This was my first photoshoot ever, and I tend to not like pictures of myself, but I loved how the photoshoot turned out! I highly recommend Ava for a couple’s shoot or for anyone who feels anxious about taking pictures. She is professional and will help you to look your best!
