The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Due to school, I am located in Davidson, NC or Sabetha, KS depending on the time of year. When in Sabetha, I will travel around the Northeast Kansas area. When in school, I will travel around the North Charlotte area. Arrangements for other traveling may vary. Contact me for inquiries.
How long have you been doing this?
I've been behind a camera since middle school, and my experience since then has been extensive. I was a photographer for my high school yearbook, work as a creative content intern for the Davidson College Athletics department, am the team photographer for Davidson Football, and have had the honor of arranging several professional sessions as well.
How many photos do we get?
This varies based on the type of session and it's length. I strive to get a around 50 photos per hour of a portrait session. Events are very unique, so the number of photos varies greatly.
How do we get our photos?
I will share the gallery via Google Drive. From there, you may download them and use them how you'd like.
Do you retouch photos?
I do general retouching on photos in areas such as lighting and color to ensure that they are of excellent quality. I try to do minimal retouching so as not to alter the captured moment. My general rule of thumb is this: if it is something that will last less than three weeks (pimples, sores, goose eggs, etc.), then I will retouch it. I don't alter body shape or anything else that cannot change in three weeks or less.
Whats your turn around time?
My turn around time varies on the length of a session or the variety of an event. The minimum time I give for a general 1 hour session is approximately one week.
How do we book you?
Reach out to me through any of my listed contacts to arrange bookings.
Can you help us with planning?
Yes. We can work together to best arrange locations, session date and length, and a general overview of the booking.
How far out do you book?
This depends. Generally I try to book at least two weeks out, but not more than two months away. This does sway depending on the circumstance. Contact me with questions.
What should we wear?
This is something that depends on your personality and the occasion for which the photos are being taken. If the photos are of several people, I suggest color coordination with at least a general theme (fall colors, neutrals, etc.). Dress as YOU because there is no one better that you could be.
Where can we see more of your work?
I post my work regularly on my Instagram page @flicksbysammi
