FAQ
-
Do you do events?
I do not specialise in event photography such as ceremonies or public events. You may request this option in my booking section with the "documentation" subject but it may be rejected if I can not fulfil the request. If your request is denied, I can still make sure your moments are celebrated! If you would like photos for your wedding invitations or portraits in your cap and gown you can select the "special moment" or "engagement or couple" subjects instead!
-
Do you travel for photoshoots?
As I'm based in LA I don't have many opportunities to shoot outside of the area, sometimes i shoot in San Diego. If you think i'm the right choice for your project and you're not based in LA please put in your booking request message the city the photoshoot will be in and we can try to figure it out!
-
Can I PLEASE repost or republish your photos?
NO :)! The only way for you to use my photos in any way is with explicit permission through a written contract. You may request to use my photos through my contact page and using the "publication" subject, but it may be rejected for any reason. I do, however, have freebies to download that are available when you subscribe to my Patreon!

Any advice for other creators?
“Don’t let anyone say you take up too much space. Don’t let anyone prevent you from creating art. Take up that space and make it yours!”. My career was paralysed for so long because I kept scaring myself into hiding my art. I was too busy worrying about irrelevant people who don't care about art, let alone my art. Same thing for content creation, do it for you and your memories an audience is just a bonue! I had to go through the caution and setback to be the person I am, but I would never wish that other creatives should go through the same experience. Just make it and post it for your own happiness.

What is Edily?
Edily [Eh-Duh-Li)] is a feeling of appreciation and wanting to spread that joy to others. I've been using this name for soooo long and my daily Edily is when people ask me this! I hope you find ways to make other people and the earth happy.
