FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT TIME OF DAY DO YOU SHOOT?
I always plan my shooting times during sunset! The lighting is best in the evenings and ensures I can give you back photos that follow my style and brand, as well as, allow me to deliver photos I am proud of. I definitely won't turn down a sunrise shoot if you are an early bird though!
ARE TRAVEL EXPENSES INCLUDED?
For the most part. During the Fall, Winter, and Spring months all sessions booked in Manhattan include the travel fee, anything outside the area has a small fee based on mileage. During the Summer months all sessions in Blue Rapids include the travel fee, anything outside the are has a small fee based on mileage. However, there are some days in those months when I am based out of the opposite town and you might not have to pay the travel fee!
DO YOU HAVE LOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS?
Of course! I handle all things location wise. From fields to towns, I have all the fun, cool, creative spots you could think of.
WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?
Girl!! We can and always will reschedule. I have no problem with moving around your shoot to make that day special and perfect for you. No one wants to be freezing or rained on during their portraits.
WHY DEPOSITS
Sad to say, but I have been burned a few too many times. I put this system into place to help limit the amount of no shows I get for my business. When a client reserves one of my session times that spot is no longer available to my other clients. When someone no shows I no longer make any money during that time frame. I want to trust that all my clients are respectful to me, but sometimes that isn't the case.
ALL THINGS DEPOSITS
My deposits are a small percentage of your total session. Your deposit goes towards your total for your session. When you first reserve your time online you will pay that deposit, followed by paying the remainder of your balance on the day of the shoot. If you need to reschedule, your deposit moves with the session (only if done with 3 days to spare). If you need to cancel your session, the deposit is refundable (only if you cancel with 30 days to spare). The deposit is non refundable if you no show your session or if you cancel within the 30 day time period. If you book a studio session with me, deposits are a percentage of your total session plus the whole studio fee. The studio fee is non refundable with no exceptions, while the deposit follows the normal guidelines. The studio fee is directly paid to the owner of the studio to secure your time frame.
