FAQ
Q- What should I bring to my sessions?
A- You should bring the outfits you want to use and any props you want to incorporate. Please be aware, a lot of places do not have a place to change clothes privately so keep this in mind when choosing the outfits you choose to wear.
When it comes to props and outfits, keep in mind any rules and regulations of the city/county/state and any rules set forth by the property you choose to use. Any props that require approval are the responsibility of the client to obtain and to show us the evidence of approval.
Q- How far are you willing to drive for a session or event?
A- Driving 25 miles and under from the starting point of Spring Hill High School will be included in the standard session fee with no additional charges.
Anything over 25 miles will require $3 per 5 miles over 25 miles. (Example 35 miles will be a $6 fee.
The mileage charge will be assessed in the final payment, not in the deposit.
Q- I really want to use you for my session or event but you're not available or booked, do you have any recommendations of photographers you trust?
A- While I hate to not be available for a session, I'm only one person and can only be at one place at once.
If your session or event cannot change times or days, I do have several photographers I can recommend. However, my first recommendation is always going to be Serenity Smith.
Serenity has been my understudy/apprentice/intern going on for 3 years. I fully trust her to do an excellent job. If I am not available for your session, please reach out to her and check her availability. https://www.instagram.com/capturedbyserenity/
If she is also not available, I have a top 5 photographers list that I will be glad to share with you. While I cannot speak on their prices or their availability, I personally would choose them (and Serenity) if I needed a photographer for something.
Q- Why do you charge a deposit?
A- The simple answer is that I am setting aside my time for you that day. The deposit is so that I am not booking out a time for you and not having you not show up. The deposit is not an extra fee, but just a section of the full session price.
If you for any reason have to reschedule, please do so with 24 hours' notice. With 24 hours notice, you will be refunded the deposit or I will roll it over to when you reschedule.
I understand emergencies do happen, so please let me know as soon as possible about the need to reschedule or if you are running late. I may have other sessions after yours that I cannot push yours back.
If you no call/no show at your start time, I will wait 30 minutes. After 30 minutes from the time your session starts, you will lose your deposit and your session will be canceled.
If I for any reason have to cancel or reschedule, you will be fully refunded your deposit. I will do my absolute best to give you the same 24-hour notice if possible. If it's a timely event that cannot be rescheduled, I will also send you my personal top 5 photographers list to contact.
