We know it’s a big decision - here are our most Frequently Asked Questions if you’re still on the fence:

What if we just want formal family portraits, and no adventure at all?

If you’re envisioning more traditional, formal family portraits with no adventure element, we can absolutely create that together. I offer a 90-minute sunset session that can be tailored to feel classic and relaxed, focusing on connection and timeless family moments.

And even in a more formal session, Moab brings a touch of adventure—beautiful light and photos out in the desert terrain, surrounded by that classic Moab landscape.

What if I want a more formal portrait session, but sunset doesn’t work for my family’s schedule?

While sunrise and sunset offer the best light, my 90-minute session (what I call the “sunset session”) can be scheduled at any time of day. I have a variety of locations in mind to make sure we still get beautiful, flattering light.

Does your package cost include other tour prices?

No. I only guide the hiking tours. There is an additional fee if you want to book a biking, canyoneering or other tour with a certified Moab guide company.

What if we love adventure but aren’t very extreme, or super fit?

Adventure is for ALL levels! We will work together to find a location and activity which is appropriate for you and your family. I can recommend locations for all ages and fitness levels.

Can the grandparents or other family members come?

Of course! They can come to both or just the formal session, and we will pick an adventure that fits their fitness and abilities.

How many pictures will I have to choose from?

I can’t guarantee any specific amount since all sessions and conditions are unique. However, you can expect an average of 30 - 50 images per hour booked.

Can I buy all the digital files?

My packages include full digital delivery, meaning I carefully curate and edit the best images from our time together. This typically results in a gallery of around 30–60 images, ready for download, sharing, and printing.

What is the turnaround time for the gallery?

My typical turnaround time is 2–4 weeks for your full gallery. I’ll carefully edit and curate your images so everything feels cohesive and true to your experience.

What if a 3 hour adventure is too much for us or the kids?

That’s totally understandable—especially with kids in the mix.

We can absolutely scale things back and create a shorter, more relaxed adventure while still getting great images. Both my 3-hour and 90-minute sessions include about 90 minutes of actual shooting, so the 90-minute session can feel like a perfect “mini adventure” with just as much fun.
