05. Your gallery
After your session
The remaining balance for your session is due on the day of the shoot. Payment can be made via PayPal, bank transfer or credit card. If paying in cash, please bring the exact amount.
When is the final payment due?
Yes, travel fees apply for locations beyond [X] miles from [your location]. The fee is calculated at $[X] per mile beyond this radius. If you’re unsure whether your location incurs a fee, feel free to ask!
Is there a travel fee for sessions outside a certain area?
Two should be the minimum amount of outfits you bring so you can get a little variety, but 3 is my sweet spot. The golden rule here is to wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident!
How many outfits do we need to bring?
Couple sessions typically last around 1 to 1.5 hours. This gives us enough time to explore different spots, try a variety of poses, and capture your unique connection without feeling rushed.
How long does the session last?
Life can be unpredictable, I get it! If someone falls ill or an emergency comes up, please let me know as soon as possible. I'll do my best to find a new date that works for us.
Remember that your retainer fee is non- refundable, but it can be transferred to a future session. However, if you cancel entirely, it will not be refunded.
What happens if we need to reschedule?
Weather can be a bit unpredictable at times, and we gotta deal with it! If we planned on shooting outdoor and we're face rainy weather, we can reschedule for a better day.
I monitor the weather forecasts 2 to 3 days before our session. If it looks like the weather won't cooperate, I'll get in touch with you as soon as possible.
What happens if it rains on our session day?
