Question 1

How long is a typical photo session?

Accepted Answer

We offer 30 and 60 minute sessions. A 30 minute session gives you plenty of time to capture a gallery with variety, and it is easier to work around in your schedule. 60 minutes is available if you have a group of 8+ or want more time.

Question 2

How do I book a session?

Accepted Answer

Browse available sessions on your preferred market or location page, pick a date and time that works for you, and click 'Book this time.' You'll be taken to our booking page to confirm your details and pay.

Question 3

What should we wear for our photo session?

Accepted Answer

We recommend coordinating colors rather than matching exactly. Earth tones, soft pastels, and muted jewel tones photograph beautifully outdoors. Avoid large logos, neon colors, and busy patterns.

Question 4

Can we bring our dog to the session?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Pets are part of the family. Just let us know ahead of time so your photographer can plan for a few pet-friendly poses. We recommend bringing treats and a favorite toy.

Question 5

When will we receive our photos?

Accepted Answer

Your color-corrected photos will be delivered to an online gallery in 5 business days. From there you can download, share, and print.

Question 6

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

We shoot rain, snow, or shine. Light overcast skies and light rain actually create beautiful, even lighting, so don't worry if it's not perfectly sunny! However, if there's a major storm or lightning, we'll cancel for everyone's safety and be in touch for rescheduling.

Question 7

Can I cancel my session?

Accepted Answer

Yes, things come up. Cancel more than 72 hours before your session and you'll receive a full refund within 5 business days. Within 72 hours, a $50 cancellation fee applies. You can cancel through our Reschedule page, just look up your booking and you'll see the option.
