What does the Session Fee Cover?
Session Fee: The session fee pays for the photographer’s time and talent. It does not include PRINTS (photos will be sent through google drive)
Do you offer on location sessions?
On Location sessions: Please be aware that outdoor sessions may need to be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. If a permit is required to conduct a session in a client’s desired location, the client will be responsible for obtaining the permit and any costs involved. Locations outside a 25-mile radius of the studio are subject to a travel fee. Multiple locations will incur a fee of $25 per additional location (unless otherwise agreed)
When should I arrive for my session?
Arrival Time: Please arrive on time! It is to your advantage to be on time and ready to start the session. Starting late means you will have fewer images to choose from. Clients arriving more than 15 minutes late will be asked to reschedule, and the $ 5 rescheduling fee will be applied. If you are running late please be courteous and call ahead - based on availability we may not need to reschedule.
Can I bring people to the session?
Additional People at the Session: Please bring only the people to be photographed or in the case of children, parents are of course welcome. Please limit personal assistants, nannies, caregivers, other family members, or friends to one individual. Having additional persons present is very distracting for those being photographed. This is especially important with children sessions, as we need their full attention on the photographer rather than looking at what is going on around them. Also, please do not bring any pets to your session without prior approval. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
When will I see the images / proofs?
Viewing Your Images: Online Proofing: You will receive an e-mail with a link to your gallery approximately 3-4 weeks after your session. Your gallery will be active for 45 days.
Will I see all images taken?
Photographic Rendering: While we do capture many images during your session, you will see only those images selected by the photographer for previewing. Each finished image is carefully rendered by the photographer to ensure maximum artistry and technical perfection.

All images are photographed in color, but are available in black and white or sepia for no additional charge.
Do you charge for editing?
