I’m based in Cleveland, Ohio, and work throughout the greater Northeast Ohio area. Occasionally you can find me in Memphis, TN. Travel for special projects can also be arranged.

How do I book a session?

You can contact me directly through the Contact page or send me a message on Instagram. Once we discuss your vision and location, I’ll send a short agreement and deposit link to confirm your session date.

How much do you charge?

Pricing depends on the type of work, duration, and location. For instance, Pet Portraits start at $75, Real Estate Photography starts at $140 to >$225, and User-Generated Content is priced by number of photos / videos delivered. I’ll provide a personalized quote once we talk about what you’re looking for.

How long does it take to receive my photos?

Typically, you’ll receive your edited gallery within 3-5 days. I’ll send a link via WeTransfer where you can download and share your photos in high resolution.

What file formats and delivery options do you offer?

I’ll send you the high-resolution digital files via WeTransfer. Print options are available on request..

How many photos do I get from a session?

Every session is different, and can include a set number of final edited images, usually between 10 and 40, depending on your package. I always capture more during the shoot, then carefully curate and edit the best shots for your final delivery.

Do you edit or retouch the photos?

Yes, all delivered images are professionally edited for lighting, color, and tone. I keep things natural while enhancing mood and clarity. If you’d like specific retouching (like skin smoothing or background adjustments), we can discuss that before final delivery.

Do you offer prints or just digital images?

Every session includes digital downloads, but I also offer prints, framed art, and other photo products. You can order directly from me with professional-grade printing options.

Can I share my photos on social media?

Yes! I love seeing my customers share their portraits! You’re welcome to post your photos on social media for personal use. Please tag or credit @ruttahs when you post.

How far in advance should I book?

It’s best to book as early as possible, especially for pets, real estate listings, or events, as my schedule can fill up quickly. Last-minute sessions may also be available. Book here: Let’s Work Together

What’s your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

If you need to reschedule, please let me know at least 48 hours in advance. Deposits are non-refundable, but can be applied toward a future session. I understand life happens. Communication is key.
