FAQ
Can I bring my pet?
While I love animals and have two little fur-babies myself, I find that they can be extremely difficult to control during a portrait session and might eat up a bunch of time. Public locations have leash laws and even well behaved animals tend to dance to the beat of their own drummer or not look at the camera during the perfect ‘cheese’ moment. If you are very passionate about your animal being in the photo, I am happy to abide so long as it is in a private location or the animal has a handler to assist.
Can I bring props?
Sure! If you play an instrument, a blanket to sit on, a pumpkin to match the fall leaves, or have some other interesting object that you might like to incorporate into your session that is a great idea. Just know that objects may be used minimally and not throughout the whole shoot, but they can certainly add some interest and personal flare!
Are digital images and prints included?
Sessions include the edited, high-resolution digital images specified in your selected package, delivered through an online gallery for download. Prints are not included and may be purchased separately through my gallery’s print vendor.
Can I pay a deposit instead of the full amount?
You may pay in full or pay the reservation deposit specified for your package. The deposit holds your agreed session date and counts toward the total price; it is not an additional charge. Any remaining balance is due when editing is complete, before downloadable images are released.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Reservation deposits are nonrefundable but can be transferred to a rescheduled session with at least 24 hours’ notice. For cancellations, payments beyond the reservation deposit will be refunded. Late cancellations and rescheduling requests are handled at the photographer’s discretion. If you miss your session without notice, the reservation deposit is forfeited.
What if the weather is bad or you need to cancel?
If weather or an issue on my end prevents the session, I’ll offer rescheduling with all payments transferred. If we cannot arrange a suitable replacement date, I’ll refund payments for the unperformed session.
Can I use my photos for personal or business purposes?
Family and senior portraits include a personal-use license for personal printing, sharing, social media and gifts. This does not override the business-use permissions included with headshot and property packages. Headshot packages include business-use permission for professional profiles, websites, social media and marketing. Property photography allows you to use the delivered images to advertise the photographed property, including on Airbnb, VRBO, websites and social media. Copyright remains with the photographer. Please contact me about uses outside your package’s included permissions.
Do you charge for travel?
Additional travel fees may apply depending on distance and travel time. Any travel charge will be quoted and agreed upon before booking.
What if there is a problem with my digital images or prints?
Please contact me if there is a problem with your delivery or print order. Session cancellations, delivered digital images and separately purchased prints are covered separately in the Refund Policy.
Where do headshot sessions take place, and what is included?
Headshots are $250 for one person, photographed on location in an approximately 30-minute session. We’ll agree on the location before booking; I do not have a studio. Your session includes 3+ edited, high-resolution digital photographs delivered through an online gallery within seven calendar days of the session, with business-use permission for professional profiles, websites, social media and marketing. Copyright remains with the photographer. Prints are optional and purchased separately.
Can I book headshots for a group?
Photographing several people at the same location? Group pricing may be available when sessions are scheduled together. Contact me for a custom quote.
Your group quote will specify the number of people and the images included per person.
How do I pay for headshots?
Pay the $250 total in full or reserve with a $125 deposit applied toward the total. The remaining $125 is due when editing is complete, before downloadable images are released. Any additional travel charge will be quoted and agreed upon before booking.
When will I receive my Airbnb or property photographs?
Your edited, high-resolution digital photographs will be delivered through an online gallery within two weeks of your session.
Any remaining balance is due when editing is complete, before downloadable images are released.
How do I pay for Airbnb or property photography?
For 1–4 bedrooms, up to 3,000 sq. ft., pay the $550 total in full or reserve with a $250 deposit, leaving a $300 balance. For 5–6 bedrooms, pay the $750 total in full or reserve with a $350 deposit, leaving a $400 balance. Your deposit is credited toward the total price; it is not an additional charge. The remaining balance is due when editing is complete, before downloadable images are released.
