Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DO I GUARANTEE MY SESSION DATE/TIME?
To lock in your session date/time, I require a minimum 50% non-refundable deposit, with the remaining balance due a week before the event. If you need to cancel the session for any reason, the deposit can be used towards another date (if available).
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FULL FAMILY SESSION & A MINI FAMILY SESSION?
The only real difference is the length of the session and the amount of digital images you get to choose at the end of the session. A full session is 1.5 hours with 20 digital photos. Mini session is 30 minutes in length with 10 digital photos.
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
• Cash/Check •Zelle • Venmo • Debit/Credit Card (a 2.9% fee added to each debit/CC transaction)
WHAT SHOULD MY FAMILY WEAR TO THE SESSION?
Think coordinating, not matching.
Any way that your family can compliment each other — in style or color — can really pull a portrait together. Be comfortable and keep it simple. If you're family is in outfits they are not comfortable in, it will most definitely show in the photos. Just always remember to be YOU!
Ladies pick out your outfit first and go from there!... we are totally our worst critics, so if we can find an outfit that we LOVE and WANT to wear & feel beautiful in, we will be that more comfortable and excited to wear it.
CAN I BRING SOME PROPS TO USE IN THE SESSION? or CAN IT BE A THEMED SESSION?
Absolutely!... and I totally encourage it! It's so fun to do something new and have fun doing it that is not the traditional posed photo all the time. Want to do a family painting/fight? we can do that! Lets find a open field, a canvas, so paints and go to town! Do you love cooking with your little ones? Lets do a lifestyle session in the comfort of your own home and have some fun baking or cooking or if your favorite thing is to cuddle and read with/to your kids, let do that!.. it's always fun and I love the sessions that are "out of the box". Hit me with your ideas or what you are thinking and I can help bring it to life!
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?
A sneak peak on social media or to you personally will be posted 1-2 business days after the session. Online gallery to choose your photos is usually up within one week of the session. Once your favorite photos are selected the turn around for the final edited images is 3-7 business days max. Wedding Photography turn around for all images is 4 - 6 weeks at the latest, after sneak peaks are given. Unless otherwise noted by the photographer.
CAN I BRING MY PET TO THE SESSION?
OF COURSE! If you do choose to bring along your pet, they do count as a member of the family in the session. I also highly recommend inviting a pet handler to help out during the session. That way, if your pet is having a bad day…we can still get a nice variety of family portraits taken with or without them. Please abide by all required leash laws in parks & beaches and make sure the location that you choose does allow pets on or off leash. Woof!
Wedding Photography - How come you only provide one photographer in your prices?
I don't have to pay out other photographers or vendors, in my experience the day is less hectic when it's just handled by myself. I can make sure everything you wanted was taken care of. I have handled small weddings and large weddings by myself. Whatever you need I will be able to accommodate, just ask! :) If you are wanting another photographer to join me, I do have a few that I will have on as a second photographer and that can be arranged and added or a fee.
