🧚‍♀️ FAQ – The Magic Behind the Curtain

Photography

✨ Do you offer payment plans?

Absolutely! Magic shouldn’t be stressful. I’m happy to split payments into manageable chunks for most services. Just let me know during booking and we’ll work out a plan that fits.

✨ What is your turnaround time?

Each project is a little different, but I typically deliver final images or designs within 2 weeks. Weddings may take up to 8 weeks depending on the season. I’ll always give you a more specific estimate when we start!

✨ Do you have a studio?

Oh let me tell you all about Andromeda Studios!!! Check out our new website for all of the info. We would be happy to book a session at our new studio in Marietta.

✨ What if I don’t know what I want?

You don’t have to! That’s what I’m here for. Whether you’re booking a shoot or starting a brand, we’ll talk through your ideas, goals, and vision together. I’ll help guide the magic from start to finish.

✨ Do you offer refunds?

Because of the creative time and energy poured into each project, all deposits and payments are non-refundable. That said — if something unexpected comes up, reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate or reschedule.

✨ Do you travel?

Yes! I’m based in Atlanta, but I love a good adventure. I regularly travel for shoots and am happy to come to you. Just include your location when reaching out, and I’ll let you know what’s possible.

✨ Do you work with (Insert Group Here) clients?

Yes, always — and proudly. As a queer, woman, and disabled-owned business, inclusion isn’t optional — it’s part of the magic. All identities, races, abilities, expressions, and love stories are welcome and celebrated here.

✨ I’ve had a bad experience with photographers before. Can you help?

I hear this a lot, and my heart is always open. My goal is to make sure you feel safe, seen, and amazing in front of the camera — no awkward poses or judgment, just joy and collaboration. If you’ve felt unseen in the past, I’d be honored to help rewrite that story.

✨ What are your policies? Is a deposit required?

All of my policies are explained in detail HERE. In short, yes I require a deposit of 50% to book the date for a photography client. I will not book the date in my calendar until I have the deposit. The rest of the payment is due at the time of the photography session. Weddings require a deposit of $500 and payments are due prior to wedding day.

✨ What equipment do you use?

I shoot with a Canon 6D DSLR Full Frame Camera and primarily with 70-200mm or 24-70mm lens. As much as having high quality equipment is important, I believe that ONLY having good equipment doesn’t make someone a good photographer. I recently upgraded some of my equipment as well as my pricing to reflect the investment.

 

Graphic Design and Social Media

✧ What programs do you use?

Most of my design work is done in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator — I’m an Adobe fairy through and through. I’ll use InDesign if I need to, but it’s not my go-to spellbook. Whatever tools I use, I’ll always choose the one that best brings your vision to life.

✧ What does a graphic designer actually do?

Graphic design is a big world! Some designers focus only on logos or signage, while others specialize in web or 3D design. My sweet spot is branding, email marketing, logos, print materials, and social media graphics. Basically, I help small businesses and creatives look amazing everywhere they show up — online and off.

✧ What does branding include?

Branding is more than just a logo — it’s the full personality of your business. That includes your colors, fonts, tone, vibe, and visual consistency across platforms. Strong branding helps people recognize and trust you. And just like your favorite fairy wings, branding needs the occasional refresh to stay stylish and relevant as trends evolve

✧ What programs do you use for email marketing?

I love Mailchimp — it’s intuitive, affordable, and perfect for small businesses or creatives. I’m also familiar with most major email platforms (like Constant Contact, Klaviyo, etc.), so if you have a favorite, I can work within it!

✧ How often should I post to social media or send emails?

This depends on your industry, but as a general rule:
🧚‍♀️ Post to social media daily if possible — it keeps you in front of your audience and helps boost engagement.
💌 Email your list 1–2 times a week — just enough to stay present without overwhelming your people.

Need help building a plan? I offer a crash-course through my partners at Howste Technical Services — perfect for brands who want to stay consistent without burning out.

✧ Why shouldn’t I just pay $20 for a logo online?

Great question. Here’s the real tea:
🧨 Cheap logo sites often reuse templates over and over, making slight tweaks for each client. That means your brand might end up looking exactly like someone else’s.
🎓 And more importantly, they undercut professional, trained designers who pour time, talent, and skill into their work. When you hire a designer like me, you’re getting a one-of-a-kind brand identity built with strategy, heart, and intention — not a copy-paste.

You deserve better than a bargain-bin brand.

✧ So… what are your prices?
