FAQs

WHAT HAPPENS IF I SHOW UP LATE?

Session is automatically canceled in the event you are over 15 minutes late and will require an additional deposit/ retainer fee to reschedule. In the event you have booked a 2 look session, you are more than welcome to continue with your session, however this will cut down on your session time and may affect your overall photo count. Should you wish to continue with your remaining time stamped session, this decision is solely to your discretion and should be communicated as soon as possible. This option is only permitted under the circumstance the remaining balance has been issued prior to your arrival.

 

Should your session require additional time exceeding the scheduled time, additional charges will apply if you are wanting continued service.

CAN I RESCHEDULE MY SHOOT DATE?

Yes, as long as you notify me within 48 hours of your session. Anything less than, requires an additional deposit/ retainer fee. Reschedule dates can only be redeemed within the month of the original schedule date otherwise a new deposit is required to book.

HOW LONG DOES A SESSION LAST?

The time frame of a session can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your session selected. Keep in mind, your session begins and ends at your scheduled time, documented on your invoice. For one look sessions, although a dressing room is provided, I strongly suggest coming dressed to your session in order to take full advantage of the allotted time. In the event we run over, you will be invoiced for the additional time, if you wish to continue your session. 

WHAT IS MY REQUIRED BALANCE AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

The required balance is the amount listed on the selected package. $100 of your total balance is the required deposit/ retainer fee prior to your special day. Your deposit/ retainer fee is used to lock in your desired time and date and is applied to your final balance for your session. Please keep in mind, you are not booked until your deposit/ retainer fee has been made. The remaining balance is due before or the morning of your event. Prior to booking, please note, ALL DEPOSITS/ RETAINER FEES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE. In the event the date is needing to be adjusted, please contact me immediately so I can make the appropriate adjustments to accommodate you. Deposits are transferable as long as they are met within their time stamp. In the event I am notified less than 48 business hours from your session, or less than 7 days from the scheduled date of a larger event; i.e. a wedding or concert, your deposit/ retainer fee is no longer transferable to apply to an alternate date and an additional deposit/ retainer fee will be required to rebook your session. No photography will be fulfilled without payment in full. 

 

DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING TO MY SESSION?

For all standard sessions, minor props such as couches, chairs and stools are available for use at the studio, however any specific prop you would like to incorporate during your session, I strongly encourage you to bring and I will do my best to incorporate it into your photos. Please do not bring items you would not want included in your images. Should you have a specific look you would like to incorporate that entails more than minor props, please opt for a set build when completing the interest form. 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR MY PHOTOS TO COME BACK?

Once you have selected your photos, there is a 2 week turn around for the final edits. All retouched digital images will be sent via online gallery with access to download and share the images. In the event there is a remaining unpaid balance, retouching will not begin until your balance has been paid followed by the 2 week turn around time frame. Should you need images rushed, rush services are available for purchase by either individual image or package. 

WHAT IS BOOK A LOOK?

Book a look is for those single individuals or couples that permit me COMPLETE creative control of their session; this includes the set choice, wardrobe, MUA and style of my choosing, and hairstyle. Book A Look removes the stress of planning a shoot from my clients but requires clients to follow my selection to a T. In the event the client scales away from my specifications, the client is responsible for costs of a standard session and no longer qualifies for Book A Look if changes have not been approved prior to your shoot. Additional information will be provided to you should you wish to book this look.

DO YOU PRINT IMAGES?

Unfortunately I do not offer prints as apart of my services. After you receive your images via online gallery you can download and print as many as you would like. I will be glad to give you recommendations on where to go. I do NOT recommend a commercial printer ex. Walmart/Walgreens the quality is not the best for professional photos. 

WHAT SHOULD I/WE WEAR?

You should wear whatever represents you the best, that could be casual or dressed up. I recommend staying away from clothing with text, characters or images as it can be distracting. For a group photo try to coordinate your clothes with the colors, but not necessarily exactly match.

For a maternity session I personally recommend something the shows off the baby bump.

WHEN DO I HAVE TO PAY AND WITH WHAT FORM?

Deposit is due immediately to lock in your session and is applied to the overall balance; remaining balance is due at the beginning of the shoot. Forms of payment include Zelle using email address [email protected] or via Apple Pay. 

In the event you have selected additional images with your session, you will receive an additional invoice and payment is due as soon as possible in order for me to begin the editing process.

Your remaining balance can be paid either cash, or Zelle/ QuickPay to [email protected]. For all Indianapolis clients, please be advised, I am no longer based in Indianapolis. Remaining balance is due the evening prior to or no later than 8am the morning of your session unless you are charged a travel fee. 

All payments issued via Apple Pay require an additional $5 transfer fee.

CAN I BRING A FRIEND ALONG?

Yes, as long as they don’t interfere in a bad way with your session I am fine with that. Please be mindful the number of additional guests. Due to COVID, I try to limit the amount of people in the studio, however I completely understand we all need our support system. 

CAN YOU HELP ME FIND A MAKEUP ARTIST?

Of course! I have a list of great  MUA’s that I recommend my clients too. Please keep in mind, make up MUST be done, before the start of your session. Your makeup artist may accompany you for minor retouches during your shoot, however please be mindful, this will cut into your session. 

HOW MUCH ARE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS?

For all standard and family sessions, additional images are 1 for $30 or 5 for $140. Book a Look and Concept Sessions are priced at an additional $45 per image. Should you wish to purchase more images following your session, you will receive an invoice after selecting your images with further instructions. Please keep in mind, the additional balance is due as soon as possible, to begin the editing process. 

CAN I HAVE MY UNEDITED IMAGES?

No, I’m sorry, but under no circumstance I DO NOT give out Raw/unedited images. Unedited images can be viewed but will have a logo overtop.

You can however pay to have any additional images edited.

WHAT IF I NEED MY EDITS RUSHED?

If you need your pictures before my two week turn, you have the option to purchase the rush fee for either individual items or as a package. 

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO AFTER MY SESSION?

Once you have completed your session, you will receive an album within 24 business hours with all of the images taken during your shoot. The album will include instructions on how to select the images you would like included in your finalized album. Once you have selected the images you would like retouched, your work is done! I know you are excited for your images, but please do not reach out prior to the deadline date.
