Do you require a deposit or retainer?
Yes! A deposit serves as a commitment fee to ensure your date is reserved specifically for you. The nonrefundable deposit is typically 20% of the total package price and is due after booking/consultation. The remaining balance is due 24hrs before your session. Please note that editing of your photos will not begin until full payment has been received. This ensures that your images are processed promptly and delivered to you in a timely manner.
What does the editing process look like?
Trust me I can't wait to rush home and see the results too! The editing process typically takes 3-4 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. Sneak peaks will be delivered 72 hrs after your session. I prioritize quality and attention to detail. Rest assured, my editing style is focused on authenticity. While I'll remove minor blemishes and distractions, I avoid heavy Photoshop editing. My goal is to capture you authentically, preserving your natural beauty.
How do I book a photography session?
Booking a photography session is easy. Simply reach out to me through my website, email, or instagram, and let me know the type of session you're interested in. I'll guide you through the process, discuss your requirements, and find a convenient date and time for your session.
What Should I Wear?
Choosing the right attire for your photoshoot is crucial for achieving timeless images. I recommend sticking to neutral colors like blacks, beige, creams, pinks, blues, and greens, while avoiding patterns. It's also important to coordinate outfits with your partner to ensure a harmonious look. If you need assistance, I'm happy to provide outfit guides or answer any questions you may have. Feel free to reach out!
What is the cancellation/ rescheduling policy?
Please note that security deposits are nonrefundable. I kindly request that any cancellations be made at least 7 days prior to the scheduled session time. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the session will be subject to a rebooking fee of $50 except in cases of inclement weather. Please note that last-minute cancellations make it difficult for me to fill your time slot, which directly impacts my small business. I understand unexpected circumstances can arise and I appreciate your understanding of these policies.
