Why Custom Photography

How long does a session last?
Usually around 1 hour depending on your family size or what type of session you purchased. A typical session with a family of four lasts about 1 hour.

Do you have a studio?
No I do not. I am an on location photographer. I can come to your home or we can meet to do your session outside at a local park.

Will you come to our home?
I only do in home sessions for those booking baby sessions for a child one year of age or younger, or Maternity. However, I will do a home session if you live on a property that has a large enough area for portraits to be taken outdoors.

Will you take pictures of our pets?
I do not specialize in pet photography and do not do sessions that are solely of your pet. However, I can take photos of your pet during your session if you request. You can also include your pets in your family portraits.

What about sales tax?
Sales tax will be added on top of all prices shown on the website based on your local sales tax.

How does your pricing work?
It is all inclusive pricing. That means that you pay one price and receive what is listed next to your session type.

Do you offer any products?
Yes, I offer albums, storyboards, image boxes and print options. Contact me for a full list of offerings and pricing.

What should I wear?
I want to photograph who you are. Wear clothes and dress in the style that you would normally wear. Make sure those clothes are comfortable, and that they allow you to breath and move around. I want you to wear clothes that speak to who you are. Wear your favorite outfit. The one that screams YOU. Don't wear dress clothes if you never do. If you are flashy, wear flashy clothes, if you are casual, wear casual clothes. It is best when families coordinate color palates, this way one family member won't totally stick out. Bright fun colors work well in photographs as it sets the subjects apart from the backgrounds. Also try to avoid wearing either all black or all white. Colors look the best in photographs. But above everything choose clothing that you love.

What if it rains the day of my session?
Usually I wait until the day of the shoot to contact the client and see how the weather is and make a call as to whether or not you want to reschedule. I have no problem shooting if it is colder, cloudy or even a light sprinkle, but its hard to shoot in the rain. However, I leave it up to the client to officially reschedule. It is your call. However, if you do make the choice to continue with the shoot and I arrive at your session and the weather is too severe to continue. There will be a $25 charge for coming back out a 2nd time to finish the session. There is NO charge if we reschedule before I leave for the photo session.

How far are you willing to travel?
I live in Fife and serve the lower Puget Sound area. I will travel 25 miles from Fife. If you live or would like to use a park outside of this range (up to 75 miles), there will be an additional charge of $1 per mile over 25. If you are over 75 miles contact me for pricing.

Do you ever have specials?
Yes. Join my facebook page to become aware of any specials or contests I may have.
