FAQs

Your digital images come with a print release. What is a print release?

A print release gives you and your family permission to print the images for your own personal use. The print release does not give you permission to claim the images as your own, crop or alter the images in any way, but if you want to have prints, canvases, albums, t-shirts, etc. made, you are free to do all of that.

What if they’re forecasting rain on the day of my session?

You have several options if rain is forecasted for the time of your scheduled session:

a.) On most rainy days it doesn’t rain ALL day, so we can meet earlier or later the same day so that we do our best to avoid the rainiest part of the day.

b.) Choose a nearby indoor location as a backup. There are several indoor locations that have plenty of natural light and we can get great pictures there.

c.) Reschedule your session for another day. We can choose another day that works for both of our schedules.

Will I get to see all the images taken during our session?

After your session, I go through the images and choose the ones with the best expressions, the sharpest focus and best lighting to deliver the highest quality product to you. I upload those images to a proofing gallery with no or very minimal editing. You get to choose which images you wish to keep from this gallery and then I will edit and deliver those to you in your final gallery.

How long after our session will I receive the digital images?

Once you've chosen the images you want from your proofing gallery, post-processing of a session usually takes about 2-3 weeks. During busy season turn-around times can extend to four weeks or more. Please plan ahead if you need your images for gifts, greeting cards or other time-sensitive products.

How will I receive my images?

When your images are ready to be delivered to you, you will receive an email with a link to see your finished gallery. The gallery will include instructions for downloading your images.

Can I order albums or canvases from you?

Yes! When you view your images in your final online gallery, you will have the option to order heirloom quality albums, canvases, bamboo, metal and acrylic prints, cards and many other gorgeous items directly from your gallery if you wish. These products will be created through a lab that I trust to produce gorgeous products and will be delivered directly to you.

How far in advance should I book my session?

As soon as you know when you’d like your session to be scheduled, it’s best to contact me so we can get it on the calendar and you can have the day that works best for you. This is especially true if you’d like your session to be anytime between late July and December.

When is payment due?

Payment is due at the time you book your session. Payment plans are available for The Full, Deluxe and Ultimate Senior Sessions. Once your first invoice is paid, your session date and time will be reserved for you.

What happens once I’ve booked my session?

Once your invoice is paid, your session is booked and I will send you a confirmation email. Over the following days you will receive a questionnaire, a location guide to help you choose a location, an online contract to sign and a detailed What to Wear guide. When you choose The Full or Deluxe Senior Session, we will schedule a Zoom consult prior to your session to plan all the details of your session including locations and outfits.
