What happens if we don’t see you at the venue and or if we cancel last minute?

Great question! If you show up and you don’t see me at the spot that we originally talked about and or you have seen on the website, then I would suggest waiting for me (photographer) for at least 10 minutes and if I don’t show up, rescheduling will take place once I’m in town. I’m typically walking around the ranch with my previous session and or doing a quick run to my car to prep for my next session. Either way around, I should be at the ranch! I will also message you prior to the session 24hr before to confirm our appt or reschedule it. Another situation happened where I was waiting for a client and did not see them at the spot where we originally were suppose to meet. Since there is no reception at the ranch, we just rescheduled once I was in town:)

If you cancel last minute, we can always reschedule. Life happens and we completely understand. So let’s communicate as best as we can. As far as non-refundable fee, that will be counted towards your rescheduled session.

What if I want to bring my whole family that has 10+ family members, is there an extra cost?

Yes, there is. Our group number is 6 and if there are more than 6 people that are coming to the session, there is an additional $10 per person fee. You can pay that at the session with cash/check or I can send you an invoice after the session.

Do you do touch ups post session and is there a cost?

If there is something that you would like me to edit or change in the photo, yes there is a fee for that. Only because that takes an additional time frame to accommodate. There is a $25 fee for every 10 pictures edited. If it’s just one photo that you would like to do an edit to, then there is no charge. You can pay for that service via invoice that I would send to you after the session, if that is something you would like to add.

Touch ups include: smoothing an area, deleting an object or adding an object, patching something on the image & etc.

What if my session goes overtime or I arrive late to the session, what happens then?

Wonderful question! If session goes overtime, that’s typically running into someone else’s session time, so I would recommend booking extra time with us via selecting one of our “ADD ON’S” that you will see when booking a session with us. If we run overtime by 5-10 minutes and there is no session after our current session, that would work our just fine! My main goal is to not rush our sessions but rather enjoy time with everyone:)

If you arrive late, I absolutely understand. Our session will be cut a little bit, however, price will stay the same. If it happens to be if I’m running late by 10 minutes, the price will be decreased but the session time will stay the same.

When is the best time of the day to book a session & what should I wear?

Another great question! Best time to book a session in our opinion is between 3pm-6pm. Why you may ask? Only because of the light. As a photographer we always look at the weather & the light, depending on the day things may change and 11am will look better than 3pm but in most cases, 3pm-6pm always tends to work out better. Your pictures come our sharper, less shadows and no one is squinting their eyes.

Attire is very important and so are the colors that you are wearing. At this particular event we have seen variety of different looks and combinations of colors and we truly love them all but some outfits and colors tend to look sharper and cleaner when the image gets printed and or shared. For gentlemen, the things we recommend them to wear is darker bottom and lighter upper (say jeans & a flannel and or colors like royal blue, grey’s, dark green and even orange/yellowish or beige). For ladies, we recommend dresses and or nice shirt & jeans (colors may include greens, orange, beige, blue & jean color). Just stay away from white if you can, that color tends to not do so well, unless photographed at a certain light and or angle.
