Please reach me at helenashawphotography@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question. I would love to help you!
I have had a burning passion for photography since I was 7! I did my first wedding, solo, at 13! I got my first professional camera at 18 and started getting deep into practicing and learning at 19. I got a lot of hands-on learning by taking free photos for family and friends. I have done countless weddings and sessions, from singles to big group sessions, since then. I have extensive experience in various types of photography including weddings, portraits, events, and more. My passion for photography drives me to continuously improve my skills and deliver the best possible results for my clients. I would be honored to be your photographer!!
Yes, I do offer destination photography services for clients who want to capture their special moments in a unique location. Please contact me to discuss your destination photography needs and I will provide you with a personalized quote. Location and date depending. All travel expenses must be paid for the photographer. Let's schedule a date to get coffee or make a zoom call!
I will book 1 year in advance! If you are wanting to book a wedding super far in advance (more than 1 year), please contact me and we can talk about what you're thinking!
Absolutely! I encourage my clients to share their ideas and preferences for their photography session. I want your photos to reflect your personality and style, so I am happy to accommodate specific requests as much as possible. I will always have my Pinterest board for more inspiration for us to use!
At the moment I will go through all our session photos, edit every good photo then go make a Dropbox link. You will receive an email 2-4 weeks after our session where this link will be at the end of my message to you. You will easily be able to download all the whatever device you chose!
I will NEVER hold a good photo from you. You will never have to pay for extra photos that turn out good. I comb through all our photos and chose EVERY SINGLE PHOTO that turned out. It will be professionally edited and given back to you! I take pride in my work. I want to show you EVERYTHING I captured.
Image quality may be affected by factors beyond the Photographer’s control, including but not limited to weather, lighting conditions, venue restrictions, or uncooperative subjects. I will make every reasonable effort to produce the best possible results under the circumstances.
The deposit you pay is nonrefundable because it secures your session date and allows me to dedicate that time exclusively to you. Once I reserve your spot, I decline other potential bookings for the same date, so the deposit compensates for that commitment.
It also covers the time I spend preparing for your session—planning, consulting, location scouting, and any preliminary work that happens before the shoot.
If you forget about your session with me or cancel with short notice (less than 72 hours' notice), I there is a chance I cannot reschedule you and we will have to go through the booking process again. I completely understand that unexpected things can happen, and I always do my best to reschedule you, but the nonrefundable deposit helps ensure fairness and balance for both of us.
I love to grab coffee! If you are too far away from Kitsap County, we can have a virtual coffee date and chat about what your vision is and see if I am a good fit for you! I would love to chat so send me an email or send me a message (bottom of the home page) and let's schedule a time to get together!
This option is also available for all of my services if you want to get to know your photographer before our session!
At the moment, I do NOT offer payment plans. We can plan your session in advance, and you can make small payments to me from the day we schedule to the session date. Hopefully in the future I can offer this to my clients.
