THE EDITING PROCESS TAKES ROUGHLY AROUND 3-4 WEEKS. WHEN THE PHOTOS ARE FINISHED THEY WILL BE SENT TO YOU VIA AN ONLINE GALLERY WHERE YOU ARE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD ALL YOUR IMAGES.

WHEN AND HOW DO I PAY FOR MY S E S S I O N ?

THERE ARE T WO TIMES IN WHICH YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO MAKE A PAYMENT. THE FIRST IS A $100 DEPOSIT UPON BOOKING YOUR SESSION. THIS IS TO SECURE YOUR SESSION DATE. KEEP IN MIND IT GOES TOWARD YOUR FINAL SESSION FEE.

THE

REMAINING

AMOUNT

OF

YOUR

SESSION FEE IS DUE AT YOUR CONSULTATION. CASH, CARD, OR CHECK ACCEPTED

WHAT IS A CONSULTATION, AND WHY DO WE HAVE ONE? THERE IS A WHOLE LOT MORE TO YOUR PHOTOSHOOT OTHER THAN SHOWING UP AND TAKING PICTURES. WE NEED TO PL AN OUT ALL THE DETAILS. THIS ENSURES YOUR PHOTOSHOOT IS SUCCESSFUL. AND YOU ARENʼT MEETING A STRANGER THE DAY OF. WE WILL GO OVER WHAT YOU ARE WEARING, WHAT YOUR ST YLE IS, WHERE AND WHEN TO MEET, AND LOCATIONS. THE CONSULTATION WILL BE ONE TO T WO WEEKS BEFORE YOUR SESSION. WE WILL IRON OUT ALL THE DETAILS HERE.
