Frequently Asked Questions
- How do we work?
-
- First, we want to meet you! You will come in for a scheduled complimentary consultation, where we will iron out all of the details of your session. You’ll have a chance to tell me all of your ideas - or you can flip through our “lookbooks” to get some inspiration! We will chat about locations, clothing, hair & makeup, dates etc. I will answer all of your session questions.
- Next up is your shoot day! I will make sure this is an easy-breezy, casual & fun session! You’ll be able to change clothes and I’ll shoot several images for a well rounded gallery.
- Exactly 2 weeks after your shoot day, you’ll come back to me for Proof Reveal! This is where we will sit down and go through all of your images (the best part if you ask me!) All of the images you see will be fully edited and ready to go! You’ll be able to choose from several customizable packages and I’ll show you samples of fun things like books and canvas prints for your home! You’ll have the option to take home digitals THAT NIGHT!
- Where are we located?
-
We are just east of Dallas/Fort Worth in Forney, Texas. We serve the DFW Metroplex primarily, but we have been known to travel in order to reach our clients! If you are in town, stop by and see us!
- When should I book my session?
-
As soon as you think of it! I have clients who book as far as a year in advance. If you didn’t consider it that far ahead of time, don’t worry, I will do my best to find you a date. However, if you want a session within a week or two of calling, chances are I will be booked solid. If you’d like beautiful autumn colors for Holiday cards, or are wanting to make a yearbook ad deadline, please contact me during the summer as fall is the most popular time of year for sessions.
- Is Professional Hair and Makeup necessary?
-
Yes! We STRONGLY encourage using a stylist who actually knows how to give you a polished yet natural look. It’s likely that these are the most important photos you have had taken so far, and we want to make sure you look and feel fabulous! You will need more makeup than you would normally wear, and our stylists know how to apply it without making you look crazy! Contouring, colors, lashes and the ever important brow - all of those things help to give you softness and dimension while bringing out all of your natural beauty - its like pushing the Extreme Refresh button! We have 4 stylists who have worked with us for years and we are happy to get them scheduled for you!
- Do you offer discounts for multi-session booking?
-
HOW FUN!! Yes! We would love to work with you throughout the year! It is common for clients to book 2 or even 3 sessions. I mean, you look different in the September after a good summer tan and natural highlights, than you do in January when your hair may be a little darker. Some clients simply want to wear a sweater and boots with rich fall colors behind them, but also like the idea of walking barefoot through the spring flowers. Maybe you prefer summer on a beach or winter in the snow - why choose? Let’s just do it all!
- What payment options do we accept?
-
We accept cash, credit card, check or Venmo . Your session fee is due at booking in order to reserve your day. Print package fees are due at the time of Proof Reveal ordering. If you have chosen a multi session option, session fees for all shoots are due at original booking (discounts will be applied) and separate proof reveals will be scheduled.
