Frequently Asked Questions
You've got questions? I've got the answers.
WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?
This depends on the type of session. HOWEVER! Engagements, couples, lifestyle, etc. turnaround is typically around 2-3 weeks. For weddings, photos are delivered in 6-8 weeks. But don’t worry – I always send a preview as soon as I can. Check out my Instagram, @mehahnphoto, for those!
HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU DELIVER?
Every session is different, So, it depends! Factors to consider would be how long I’m there for, how much is going on, etc. I also don’t put a cap on how many photos I deliver! I like to genuinely capture a session and tell a story. If it's pretty and/or helps tell your story, I’ll deliver it! The only images I really take out are the awkward blinks, blurs, and repeats — Trust me, you’ll get the bloopers, too.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED? DO YOU TRAVEL?
I’m currently based near Muncie, Indiana. As for travel, that's an astounding HECK YES!!! I have packages to fit any sort of travel wedding, elopement, or session. Want me to travel with you worldwide? Don't worry, I've got my passport packed and ready to go! ;-)
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR PICTURES?
The best words of advice I can give you would be to wear something YOU are ultimately comfortable in. Still might not trust your fashion sense? Don’t worry, I’ve got you! I am more than HAPPY to send outfit ideas and color inspo!! Check out the link below to see some ideas!
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER?
So, this is a funny story. I've been an avid artist all my life. I enjoy trying out different mediums, BUT I had never seriously picked up a camera until I was in COLLEGE! Say whaaaa?! Yep — You heard it right.
Once I was in college, I wanted to get some extra practice working with people and creating cool art. So, in 2014 I started up M. Hahn Photography! It's been one heck of a ride, and in the words of Loverboy, I'm LOVIN' EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!
The short version: About six years now!
DO WE MEET BEFORE WE BOOK?
Unless you ask, I don’t require it! I'm more than happy to chat via email, text, or FaceTime because we all have busy schedules — I get that. BUT! If you want to grab a coffee in person, I'm totally down to chat!!
WHAT IS YOUR SHOOTING STYLE?
Think of it this way: I'm like your professional third wheel, and I'm ALL about authentic interaction – the laughs, tears, jokes, delicate handholds, and everything in between. I'm not about the stiff, awkward posing – I want you to feel like yourself, and have fun doing it! I like to keep things moving and light so it doesn't even feel like your picture is being taken.
Also, think you've got some crazy ideas? Let's HEAR em'! Road trip & camp for a weekend? Visiting your favorite ice cream shop? Go to a lake and swim? Watch the sunrise and have an early breakfast in your favorite cafe? Watch the sunset in your favorite stargazing location? I'm SO THERE!! Honestly, let's plan out a freaking adventure and create ALL. THE. MEMORIES!!
EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT! HOW DO I BOOK YOU?
To make things official, I require a 25% non-refundable retainer + a signed digital contract to reserve YOUR spot. The final 75% (+ travel fee if the shoot is outside of my free 25 mile radius) is due when we meet for delivery. I try to keep things as simple as possible!
