FAQs
Do I need to bring anything to the shoot?
We will have the set up and a few props available, but you're welcome to bring your own props if you want something specific, and outfits or accessories are encouraged (we do not have wardrobe).
What time should I arrive?
Since these shoots are booked back to back, please plan to arrive 10 minutes before the session. If we still have any pets inside waiting to leave, we will let you know in case you'd prefer to wait in your car for the session to start. If you are late, it will cut into your shoot time.
What if my pets or kids are not cooperative?
Mini sessions are very quick shoots, so we must warn you that if they cannot sit still in one spot for at least 20 seconds at a time, we recommend booking a regular session, or a double mini session. We will have treats on hand to help direct some of their attention, but only you know if they can realistically settle and cooperate within that time. We cannot give any refunds or reschedule due to non cooperation.
What if I have to cancel or reschedule?
Unfortunately retainer fees are non refundable, since you are paying for a spot to be held just for you. Transferring your booking to a friend is allowed as long as you make sure to make all payment arrangements with them, and that they fully understand which slot they are booked for as well as the remaining balance before the shoot. We will always try our best to get you as many great shots to choose from, but as mentioned above, if session does not go according to plan at no fault of our own (child or pet not cooperating to get satisfactory shots, lateness, etc.), the entire session fee will be forfeited. Exceptions will only be made on a case by case basis for any cancellations made by photographer, or in the case of severe weather at time of shoot.
How many subjects can I have per session?
This specific set up is very small, so there are some limitations. The basic rate includes one pet or person (children-adults welcome). The set up can realistically hold up to 3 people and/or pets (or 2 adults), and they must be able to pose close together. Time allowing, we can also do individual shots as well.
How many looks/changes can I do?
Only one look is allowed for these sessions. We are more than happy to accommodate more more looks and time by scheduling a regular session.
Will I receive all the photos from the shoot?
We do not give out unretouched photos, so you will receive the included 4, plus any additional retouched images you purchase. You will however, get to see a proof sheet with thumbnails of all the shots to choose from.
When will I get my photos?
You will receive the proof sheet by email within 2 days of the session, and we ask you to please make your selections within a week in order to give you an fast turnaround time. In that case, it would take a week to receive your final images by DropBox. If the selections are made later, we cannot guarantee such a quick turnaround time. Due to the holiday photos being time sensitive, If selections are not made by November 17th, we will go ahead and make the selections for you and they will be sent to you within the week.
What if my pet is not too friendly?
We will only accept non aggressive pets to the shoot for everyone's safety, but if you have a pet that is just shy, or just not friendly to other pets, please let us know so we can make sure to keep other clients out of the room while you are here. They should be leashed upon entering or leaving the location.
Tips for difficult pets or children?
If you have a hyper, shy or not so easy pet or child, and you'd still like to shoot, we have some tips that may help.
For children, try to book a slot around their schedule. Avoid scheduling during nap times, or while they are hungry and may get cranky. Feel free to bring any toys or things that make them happy hidden away as a backup.
For pets, we advise giving them some exercise a couple of hours before so their energy is a bit drained. This will help them be more relaxed and more likely to obey simple commands. If your pet is shy, please let me know before you arrive so I can be prepared to greet them and keep other pets out. Please be aware that we shoot with strobes (flashes), and some pets may get nervous with bright flashes.
Is there an age limit for people?
Nope! The only requirement is that babies should be able to sit up on their own. Newborns would have to schedule a regular session.
