What to expect before, during, and after your session.

Before inquiring about a session with me, please spend some time looking through my portfolios and deciding whether my style aligns with your expectations. If you contact me but I feel I am not the right photographer for your needs, I will refer you to another local photographer. Once you book your session, we will decide on a location and I will offer some suggestions regarding clothing. I may also have some questions regarding who will be in your group (extended family, pets, children, etc.)

I typically arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled session time. I use this time to look at the location more closely, plan my shots, and set up my equipment. I will also have the participants sign a contract and model release form. Please do not start gathering to take photos until your scheduled time.

During your session, I will direct your group on positions and poses. I am happy to take photos of any particular poses or groupings you’d like to capture, so please think about this ahead of time.

If it looks like inclement weather will impede our shoot, I will work with you to decide what to do. We may reschedule or choose a different location. If we need to move inside, I may need to use some lighting equipment to get the right exposure.

After your session, I will choose the best images (the number of images depends on what package your choose) and deliver the edited versions to you in an online gallery within two weeks. Payment is expected within one week of your session and you will not receive your gallery until payment has been made. You may pay via PayPal, cash, or check made out to Saxony’s Photography. You may download high-resolution images from your gallery and share the gallery with others who will also have the ability to download images. Your gallery will remain active for two months unless another arrangement has been made. After this time, your gallery will expire and you will lose access. If for some reason you have not downloaded your images by this time and you’d like to extend or reactivate your gallery, you may do so for $10/week.

If you have any questions regarding this process, please feel free to ask!
