Session Information

Where Do Your Sessions Take Place?

• I am an on-location photographer, who prefers to utilize natural light for my sessions.  I like to use the great big outdoors as my playground, we can use a location of your choice, I can suggest a few of my favorite locations, or we can even use your home. The possibilities are really endless and we will narrow them down depending of what type of look and feel you are wanting for your portraits.  I love combining the ordinary with the unusual and I can find beauty in almost anything.  Each and every session starts as a blank canvas and together we have the opportunity to create something unique, something that is timeless, a piece of art that will be cherished forever   My goal is to deliver more than a portrait, it should be a piece of art that has character, tells a story, and accurately reflects you and your family.

How Long Does A Session Take?

• Generally, a session will last anywhere from 1-2 hours.  Newborn session can take longer.

What To Wear?

•  If you are comfortable in heels and a skirt go for it.  If flip flops and jeans are more your style, then rock it.  I want my clients to feel comfortable and for the portraits to accurately represent them.  Wear what you like, but just keep in mind that we will more than likely be shooting outdoors.   Bottom line, don’t sweat the wardrobe.  We will get all details ironed out before your session during our consultation.

Do You Allow Clothing Changes And Props?

• Yes, props and clothing changes are allowed and encouraged.  We can discuss these details during your portrait consultation.  Some locations will have facilities for clothing changes, whereas others will not and will require some creative improvising.

Do You Travel?

•  Yes, I will travel within a 30 mile radius of the Austin area.  Anything outside of that will require additional fees for mileage.

What If The Weather Is Uncooperative On The Day Of Our Session?

• Since the majority of my sessions are outdoors, it is key that I utilize the very best natural light to create your portraits.   We all know that the Texas weather can be somewhat unpredictable; sunny skies can turn dark in a matter of seconds.  Therefore, sessions are subject to change depending on Mother Nature.   If the weather (most likely rain, fog, and heavily overcast skies) prevents a scheduled session, I will contact you as soon as possible and the session will be canceled and rescheduled for the next weather permitting available date.  Thank you in advanced your understanding.

Cancellations?

• Being a Mom to 3 children, I do realize that things unexpectedly come up that require a cancellation.    If possible, a 24 hour notice is greatly appreciated.    If a cancellation is required, the session will be canceled and rescheduled.   The session retainer will not be refunded.

Is The Session Fee Due At Booking And What Does It Cover?

• Yes, there is $125.00(plus tax) non-refundable session retainer fee that is due at the appointment booking.    The session retainer fee covers a photography session up to 5 individuals.  Each additional individual is $10.00.    The fee also includes session consultation, photographer’s time and talent, 1-2 hours of on-location shooting, and 25-30 post processed images in an on-line gallery for viewing and ordering.    The session fee does not include any prints or digital negatives.

What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?

• I accept check, cash, paypal, and credit cards (master card, visa, discover, & amex).

What Happens After My Photography Session?

• Within 10 days of your session, (excluding weddings and special events, which can take up to 4 weeks)  you will be contacted with a password protected on-line gallery.  This gallery is used for viewing and ordering.  This link may be share with family and friends.   Payment is due in full at the time of ordering.  You can expect to receive your prints and or digital negatives within 2-4 weeks of order placement.   Your on-line gallery will remain active for 1 week for viewing and ordering.  If your gallery expires, there is a 25.00 gallery re-activation fee.

Do You Have A Guarantee?

•  Of course, I stand behind and guarantee all of my work.  I believe in 100% customer satisfaction.  If you are not happy with images from your session for any reason, I will reschedule a re-shoot.  I want you to love your portraits and the story they tell.
