H OW MAN Y C AN I SE E ?
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
ANSWER: It depends on the session, but typically you can expect 20-60 high-quality images to select from with a variety of expressions and backgrounds.
WHAT IF I CAN’T KEEP MY APPOINTMENT?
_____________________________
C AN I PI CT UR E S E L SE ?
ANSWER: Just call! We understand things happen unexpectedly, especially in the military. Call early as possible (24 hours notice preferred) and let us know when you would like to reschedule.
WHAT IF MY CHILD OR I IS SICK? ANSWER: If you or your child is EXTREMELY ill, then please call me and we will reschedule. However, if you’re not
sure just call and ask. _____________________________
DOESN’T
ANSWER: Sometimes children just have a bad day, regardless of pre-planning. If the session is not successful, I will stop and suggest rescheduling. To ensure your child is excited and ready to go, try avoiding putting too much pressure on them to smile or be good. Typically, children I work with will behave after we play games and finish the session at their pace.
_____________________________
H OW C AN I PA Y? ANSWER: Spangled Photography offers you the option to pay with a secure PayPal Account, check, credit card, or debit card. All session fees are due before images are released.

P RI N T MY S O ME W HE R E
ANSWER: Spangled Photography has set its product pricing competitively, so there is no reason for you to go elsewhere for your prints. When you work with a professional photographer you are spending your money on the value of the artist, their skill level, and their time. Purchasing products through the photographer ensures you will receive the highest quality art prints, but also ensures the longevity and prosperity of small businesses in your community. Spangled Photography does allow you to purchase the digital negatives to share online at 115dpi 575x805 pixels. However, the digital negative file is too small to print elsewhere; your images will be blurry.
