Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical photo session last?
The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type and scope of the project. Portrait sessions typically range from 30 minutes to 2 hours, while events and weddings can span across several hours. I strive to provide ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 1-3 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations. The client will receive an online gallery link with all of their photos within 3 weeks from the date of their shoot (sometimes sooner depending on the season). The client can download all of their photos from the online gallery. Using the online gallery, clients can also share their photos with family and friends.
How Many pictures will we receive?
Each package has a specific number of photos that are a guaranteed minimum. The client can always receive more than the minimum, but will not receive less. My goal is to always provide each client with the maximum number of photos that I can!
Frequently Asked Questions
What SHOULD WE WEAR?
Wear what showcases who you are and the style that you want to be represented in your photos. Consider wearing jewelry to enhance your look. It is always advised to avoid busy patterns, especially in group photos, as it takes the focus away from the subjects. For family photos, it looks nice to have coordinated colors, such as black and white, all pastels, different shades of one particular color, etc. For multi-family photos, you can split each individual family into a different color. Please remember to take your extra hair ties off of your wrist and try to avoid storing any items such as phones, keys, wallet, etc. in your pockets! Feel free to bring a small bag to place these items in that I can carry around on your behalf throughout the shoot.
DO YOU RETOUCH THE PHOTOS?
The photos I share via the Pixieset galleries are already edited. This includes but is not limited to: blemish removal, image enhancement, object removal, etc. I do not share out RAW or unedited photos, as I truly believe in the final product that I am offering each of my clients.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED AND ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL?
I am based in St. Louis, Missouri area, but am always willing to book sessions when I am visiting family and friends in Fort Worth, Texas area.
And yes, I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it may require a travel fee. The travel fee will depend on where the session takes place. I will always try to find the cheapest way to travel.
