****Terms of service can change at photographers discretion at any time.
- Email me regarding which session you are looking to schedule with possible dates, once we have decided on a date and time I will send you an invoice for the amount shown on the price menu.
- Effective January 2015, all family sessions will now be offered as mini sessions only, on pre-selected dates. Limited availability. Once slots are filled sessions are sold out.
- Sessions are not booked until your invoice is paid.
- I ask that invoices are paid within 48 hours since others are needed to be booked and waiting to hear from me regarding sessions as well. If invoices are not paid in a timely manner your date may be offered to another client.
When should I book my session?
- As soon as possible! I begin to book very early in the year, and typically by June I am booked for summer and fall.
- Family mini sessions are pre-scheduled and released for purchase at announced times and dates via FB.
How can I pay for my session?
- Paypal. If you do not have an account…that is ok!! You can still pay by credit, debit and e-check. An invoice will be sent to your email. Invoices are to be paid within 48 hours of sending.
What if is rains on the day of my outdoor session?
- We will do our best to re-schedule your session as soon as possible.
What is your current turn around time with edits?
- Approximately 2-3 weeks
Why is your turn around time on edits 2-3 weeks?
- This is not my full time job :) I am a full time teacher & mom..... so please take this into consideration when choosing me to be your photographer... sometimes it may be sooner than the above time frame.
What is your availability?
- I only schedule 1-2 sessions per week as I am a full-time teacher and mom :)
What if I need to cancel my session, do I get a refund?
- For family mini sessions you are responsible for finding a replacement for your session. refunds are not given
- Senior sessions must be cancelled 30 days prior to receive a full refund.
What is a mini session?
- This is not a full standard session. This session typically runs approximately 20/30 minutes at a pre-arranged location chosen by me. You will purchase your time slot via Big Cartel and then you are booked for that day and time you choose. I typically book 4-6 families on a mini session day. This session will give you 10 images via gallery download with full printing rights. Prices will be announced with the session.
- If you cancel please do so 48 hours before your session so another family can be set in your place, if your session is canceled less than 24 hours before, only 50% of your session fee will be refunded. If you do not show up for your session your session fee will not be refunded.
Do I get to look at all the photos that you have taken during our session and then I decide which images you edit?
- For senior sessions I choose the best 60-ish images to present to you in a gallery. You will then choose the 20 images you would like me to artistically edit.
Where should I print my images?
- With your online gallery you will receive printing instructions to insure the highest quality photos through an extremely affordable professional lab. With the many hours that go into behind the scenes editing of your beautiful photographs, it is highly recommended that you do not print your photos at your local drug store or big box store. The printers used at these establishments will color correct your photos, thus making the hours of edits and enhancements to your photographs useless, and will change the look of your photographs.
- I do not give print release's for big box stores like Walmart, Target, Walgreens, etc
Do you offer all images that you took of a session unedited on a disc?
- No.
What if my kids don't cooperate, I don't like the way I look, etc, things that happen that are beyond the photographers control (control being technicality of images shot and editing) in the finished photographs?
- I take so many photographs during one session, and even with the most challenging sessions I have had, I always get successful shots of everyone looking and smiling at the camera. With events beyond my control I will gladly re-shoot your session but you will have to pay a sitting fee of $100 for my travel, shooting and editing time.
- No refunds will be given after a session has been held, edited and delivered.
