for those
who
I'm dedicated to ensuring your photoshoot experience is as relaxed and natural as possible. If you're not used to being in front of the camera, don't worry—I've got your back! I provide gentle prompts to help you feel at ease while also offering clear direction throughout the session. Consider me your personal cheerleader, committed to making your photo session effortless and enjoyable.
When you choose to work with me, you're not just hiring a photographer; you're gaining a new friend and ally. Whether you need vendor recommendations, assistance with timeline planning, or simply someone to talk weddings with, I'm here for you every step of the way. By the end of our time together, you'll feel completely at ease and confident in having me by your side on your big day.
During your wedding, I'll take on the roles of large group photo coordinator, dress fluffer, and trusted confidant. I'll keep an eye on the atmosphere and adjust our schedule or take breaks as needed. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where capturing memories feels effortless and enjoyable. With me, you can relax and fully embrace the magic of your wedding day, knowing that I'll handle any challenges that arise with ease and expertise.
here's what you can expect when you choose any of my collections...
2. How many images are included?
I deliver around 50 to 75 images per hour of shooting. But don't you worry, I will never withhold any meaningful image and to be completely honest I usually overdeliver.
3. Do you give out RAW (unedited) photos?
I do not give out RAW photos. Part of why you hire me is because a take the time to cull, edit and deliver the final photo.
4. How does payment work?
A 30% non-refundable payment is due upon booking. When you decide that I am the gal for you, I send a proposal with a contract and the 30% retainer fee. You are able to pay via check thru the mail or you can pay with a bank transfer or card electronically. Once that is paid, I offer payment plans or you can pay the lump sum . The final payment is due upon your session date or wedding date.
5. How do I book you?
First, inquire thru the form on my contact page. I will then reply with an e-mail and attached will be a detailed wedding & engagement pricing guide with a link to schedule a phone or video call. We will then have a consult call and from there if you would like to move forward just let me know! I will then send over a proposal with a 30% non-refundable retainer fee and once it is signed and paid, walaahh we are all set!
6. What happens if you can’t be at our wedding?
If an emergency out of my control happens and I cannot be at your wedding, I will do everything within my control to find a suitable photographer to take my place. They will then shoot your wedding and I will edit their photos so that you can still receive the style that you would like.
7. What if we cancel/reschedule our date?
If you cancel your date or you reschedule your date and I am unavailable, you will not receive your 30% non-refundable retainer but you will receive the rest of the payment. If you re-schedule your date and I am available, we will switch your session or wedding date and nothing will change.
8. How long have you been a photographer?
I have been a photographer for 6 years and have been a full time photographer for 4 years.
9. What happens if the weather is bad?
If the weather is bad, you always have the option to reschedule. However, some of my favorite and my clients favorite sessions were when it was windy, rainy or snowy. Sometimes the elements make for some gorgeous, whimsical shots.
10. Will you photoshop us?
I will take away any blemishes that are not permanent. Acne, cuts, bruises are all touched up and skin is usually softened if needed. I don't however photoshop to make people look thinner or add on to the picture what was not already there. I will however, remove distracting objects if needed. I want your pictures to feel and be authentically you!
11. What do we wear to our photoshoot?
When you book with me, I will send a detailed outfit guide that will help you pick the outfits that represent YOU the best. It will go over colors, textures and more.
12. How do travel expenses work?
I cover all travel that is within 100 miles of where I am located (Boulder, WY). After that, I charge .60 per mile for gas. For overnight stays, I always cover my hotel/motel stays.
13. What is your turnaround time?
For all sessions my turnaround time is 1-2 weeks.
For weddings my turnaround time is 4-6 weeks.
14. Do you help in the planning process?
Yes absolutely! The moment you book I send over a detailed wedding guide that will cover everything from planning the time of your ceremony and reception to the best location for getting ready. Two months before your big day I will send a detailed questionnaire that you will fill out and then I will create a timeline for your big day.
15. Do you photograph (newborns/families/seniors/etc..)?
Currently I only photograph engagement sessions and weddings. However, be on the lookout for possible mini-sessions next year!

LOVE NOTES
"...literally the most genuine of souls I have ever met..."
“I could write for days how amazing this experience has been over the past year and a half with Sydney from White Buffalo Photography. From the beginning she was the literally the most genuine of souls I have ever met! Any questions or concerns she always responded quickly and was willing to do above and beyond to help us create our vision for the big day!
When I was searching for a photographer-- photos spoke volumes to me. Her talent for capturing all aspects of any kind of occasion just blew me away. I could go on and on about how amazing Sydney is and was on the big day! Making me laugh constantly and being the fill in sister I needed. A HUGE Thank you to Sydney. I couldn't have hired anyone more talented than you! You blew our expectations out of the water! Rusty and I appreciate your hard work and dedication!"
