You Scheduled Your Family Session, And Now You're Freaking Out!
You just completed the hardest step of scheduling your session. And, now you are experiencing the chaos of emotions of figuring out how to get everyone together with no bickering, And all dressed to impress. What colors to wear, where are we going to take these, how long are these session? I know, I have been there with my own family.
So, I rounded up a few frequently asked questions I have previously received to help you with this upcoming session.
Top 10 FAQs:
1) Props
can add interest and personality to your photos. If you would like to include props, please let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly.
2) Session time varies depending on the package you select based on family size. Regular sessions range between 1 to 2.5 hours.
3) I'd love to share some of my favorite locations! Don't feel like you are limited to my suggestions. Also, please keep in mind that when kids are involved, it's best to stick to one setting, such as a park or playground. Pick a place where they are comfortable being themselves.
4) Get yourself and your family excited about the session. Whether you go all out on a styled shoot or purchase new outfits for everyone. It's great when you can involve the entire family.
5) $50.00 of the total cost is due at booking as a non-refundable retainer. The remaining balance is due 7 days prior to the photography session.
6) During the pre-consultation I will discuss your vision and my experience. If there is an image from Pinterest that you love, bring it in and we'll look at it together.
7) The best time for an outdoor photo session is either early in the morning or right around sunset. I’ve found that the best light is usually 15-20 minutes before sunset and 15-20 minutes after. You can visit timeanddate.com to get an accurate time for sunset on your scheduled photo session day and then back up approx. 1 hour to 1.5 hours from that time for start time. You want to make sure to factor in extra time just in case you happen to be running late, want to change outfits during the session, etc.
8) All sessions include travel to the location, my services during the shoot and basic editing of the images. A set number of images are provided upon completion based on the duration of session. For example, with an hour session you will usually receive a min. 35-40 images. Hi resolution images with reprint permission are including in some of our most popular packages.
9) I accept
cash,
check, and
Venmo.
10) Turnaround for photos is approx. 1-2 weeks. I will usually post a few sneak peak images to social media within 24-48 hours of photographing the session, so make sure you are connected!
