Frequently asked questions

FAQ

What package should I choose?

Choosing a photoshoot package can feel overwhelming. I use a hands-on approach and aim to make the process as easy as possible for my clients. If you’re unsure of what exact package will best fit your needs, I am here to answer questions and help you pick the perfect photoshoot package.

Where are you based and do you travel?

I am based in North Alabama near the Huntsville area. Local shoots are considered anything within a 30 mile radius from my home base. I charge a mileage fee for travel beyond 30 miles from my primary location. I am open to travel, and would be more than happy to consult with you to arrange something that fits both of our needs.

When will I receive my photos?

Turnaround time varies depending on the package and the season. For standard sessions, galleries are typically delivered within 2 weeks, while weddings and larger sessions may take 4-8 weeks.

If you need your photos sooner, I also offer rush delivery for an additional fee.

Business Hours & Availability?

I’m available for sessions and bookings Monday through Saturday, with limited availability on Sundays. Because my faith is important to me, I prioritize attending church and rest on Sundays with my family. Sessions booked on Sundays include a Sunday fee based on package chosen, as I typically reserve that day for worship & family.

I do my best to be flexible with scheduling & truly value each inquiry. I take Sundays off from messaging, but I’ll get back to you promptly on Monday!

Cancelations/Weather/Rescheduling?

Cancellations & Rescheduling
I totally understand that life happens! Your first reschedule is free if you let me know at least 24 hours before your session.

If you need to reschedule with less than 24 hours’ notice, or if it’s your second time rescheduling, a fee will apply:
• $25 for standard shoots
• $50 for non-standard sessions (bigger events such as weddings are under a different policy)
    •    For sessions booked at paid venues, any rental fees would need to be covered again since those are non-refundable.
    •    Your 25% deposit will always remain non-refundable.

Note: I don’t charge a reschedule fee due to weather. If weather is an issue, we’ll simply pick a new date.

Additional fees & Session policies

• Mileage Fee:
Take me anywhere for your shoot! For locations 30+ miles from my home base, a round-trip mileage fee of $0.65/mile will be added to your session total. Mileage varies by location, so feel free to reach out for an exact estimate.

• Non-Refundable Retainer:
A 25–50% non-refundable retainer (percentage varies by session type) is required to secure your date. This retainer is applied toward your final total.

• Admission / Venue Fees:
If your chosen location requires admission, parking, or photography permits, those fees must be covered by the client. These costs vary by venue — feel free to ask if you’re unsure!

• Reschedule Fees:
If you need to reschedule with less than 24 hours’ notice, or if it’s your second time rescheduling, a fee will apply:
• $25 for standard sessions
• $50 for non-standard sessions (larger events such as weddings follow a different policy)

Weather reschedules are always free — if the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll simply choose a new date.

Your session booking confirms your understanding and acceptance of these policies. I can’t wait to capture your moments through my lens!
