the experience

As soon as you know you want to work together. I book on a first come basis and popular seasons fill quickly. If you reach out and I am unavailable, I may be able to place you on my waitlist.

How far in advance should we book?

Yes! Travel is always welcomed depending on availability. Reach out with your plans and I will let you know exactly what that looks like.

Do you photograph events outside Colorado?

Add ons such as additional hours, a second photographer, or the hybrid film upgrade may be added at any point before your final payment is due.

Can we add hours later on?

A 35% retainer is due at the time of booking. Another 35% is due halfway between the date of booking and thirty days before your event. The remaining 30% is due 30 days before your event.

What is your payment schedule for weddings and larger bookings?

Sessions require a nonrefundable retainer at booking. If you cancel at least 7 days prior to your scheduled session, you may be refunded any additional payments or the remaining balance will be cleared.

What about sessions?

If a wedding is cancelled at least 90 days prior to your event, all paid amounts are forfeited. If a wedding is cancelled within 90 days of your event, the full balance is owed.

What happens if we need to cancel our wedding?

Sessions may be rescheduled at my sole discretion for unsafe weather, illness, or emergencies.

Can we reschedule our session?

Sessions are delivered within 3-4 weeks. Weddings are delivered within 6-8 weeks.

How long does it take to receive our photos?

Your gallery is hosted for a minimum of 1 year. You will receive reminders 30 days and 15 days before your gallery is set to expire. Please download and back up your images immediately so you have them forever.

How long will our online gallery stay live?

Candid, warm, documentary, and true to color. I focus on real moments and honest storytelling so your photos feel like you.

How would you describe your shooting style?

Yes. I guide when needed and step back when the moment matters more than the pose.

Do you give posing direction?

The hybrid film upgrade adds true 35mm film coverage to your day. This upgrade is offered as an hourly add-on rather than per roll, which allows me to shoot freely and intentionally throughout the moments that matter most.

What is the film upgrade?

In the extremely rare event of film failure you will receive your full digital gallery as normal and a full refund of your film upgrade cost, including the cost of the film itself. This has never happened but your investment is protected.

What happens if the film fails or something goes wrong?

Yes. For weddings and elopements I help build a photography friendly timeline so the day flows naturally.

Do you help with timelines?

Some wedding packages include a second photographer. A second photographer can added to any package on an hourly basis.

Will you bring a second photographer?

Yes. You receive full printing rights. You may print anywhere, though I recommend professional labs for the best quality.

Can we print our images?

I edit with my signature clean and cinematic style. I do not alter bodies or make changes that shift the integrity of the moment, but I will always remove temporary blemishes or distractions.

Can we request specific edits?

No. RAW files are not available for purchase or delivery.

Do you deliver RAW files?

I reach out with availability, a warm hello, and next steps. From there we schedule a call or move straight to booking if you already know you want to work together.

What happens after we inquire?

The Lane Archives started with a simple idea: to document love stories in all of their forms. I photograph in a way that feels natural, capturing the moments you might not even notice while being your biggest cheerleader along the way. My approach is intentional, connection-first, and focused on preserving memories that feel real, lived-in, and unmistakably yours. 

NICE TO MEET YA!
