INFORMATION
Hey there,
​
Thanks for checking out my photography! I know what most people are wondering when they’re contemplating which local photographer to go with for portraits... What do I get? Can I choose my own photos? What's the investment? When will I get my photos back? The list goes on and on. I’ve created this Information overview to hopefully address any questions you might have about what it means to book with me. Give it a good read, and if you have any further questions my inbox is always open!

What You Get!
​​
Me! & Occasionally an Assistant of Mine
I've got 10 years under my belt and I'm ready to lead the way through whatever session you're looking for! Whether you’re new to portrait photography, or have spent some time in front of the camera, I offer my clients my creative-eye, pose guiding, and facial expression guiding throughout the session. Depending on the day, I may also have an assistant with me!
​
Personal Selection of Images
Clients get to choose their own photos! 10 days after your Session, you'll receive a link to an online "Review Gallery." The Review Gallery will include all the UNEDITED images from the day of your session. From there, clients get to "Favorite" whichever photos they'd like for retouching. For instance, if you choose a 10 Image Package, you'd "Favorite" 10 images in the Review Gallery, and those are the images you'll get back after retouching/editing.​
​
Exclusive Online Gallery
For all client viewing, downloading, and delivering purposes, clients have access to their own private, personalized, Online Gallery. This means that instead of receiving your photos back on something tangible like a CD or thumb-drive, it’s all online.
​
Professional Makeup (Optional)
In my opinion, professional makeup can take your portraits to the next level. I work closely with a few INCREDIBLE professional Makeup Artists at some of the best Salons in the area that do amazing work.
Use of Props
Props are a wonderful way to spice up your photos. Whether it's sports equipment, balloons, or your favorite books, the use of props can really bring your photos to life and show us who you are. I highly encourage this with Seniors. Bring along whatever means something to you!
​​
Bring a Friend
I've found that bringing a parent, best friend, or significant other along helps my clients feel more comfortable and have more fun! If you desire, they can hop in front of the lens for a few shots as well. ​
​
Prints to Purchase
One of the most awesome features of the Online Gallery is that prints can be purchased directly through your Gallery! Clients can pick and choose which photos they'd like prints of, and order from a variety of different sizes and photo finishes like glossy, canvas, and even metal works. Think of it like online-shopping, but for photos, and the quality is AMAZING!

Company Policies:
​
Late Policy/Fee
If a client is more than 10 minutes late, the Session WILL be cut down however many minutes they are late. For example, if you are 15 minutes late to a 1-Hour Session, we will only spend 45 minutes shooting. In addition, a Late Fee of $25.00 will apply to clients over 15 minutes late. This fee is to be paid at the day of the Session. There are many occasions where I may have two sessions back to back, and if a client is late to the first, this affects others too. Late fees are non-negotiable so I advise my clients to arrive early, or on time.
​
If a client chooses to add professional makeup to their session, and is late to their makeup application, please be aware that this may result in the need for your session to be rescheduled.
​​
Cancellations
Cancellations made less than 2 weeks before the session date will result in no refund of the $100.00 security deposit. I ask that you please be respectful of my time and my business by cancelling your session if need be as soon as possible. After 2 client cancellations, a second $50.00 deposit will be necessary.
Weather-Related Cancellations
Clients should be aware that CSP reserves the authority to cancel sessions due to weather at the photographer's discretion. I do not shoot through rain. Rain not only compromises the quality and look of the photographs, but it also poses a risk to my equipment. Email CSP for more information on our weather related cancellation policy.​
​
Photo Storage/Protection
After your Final Photos have been delivered to you through your Online Gallery, I will store your gallery uploaded into my editing software for 1 month. If you wish to request any changes in editing (crop requests, black and white requests, etc.) they will need to be made within that first month. After that month, no changes may be made to your images or Gallery. Keep this in mind for images that need to go to your child’s yearbook committee during their senior year.
Your Final Photos will be accessible within the Online Gallery for 1 year after the Session date. If you ever lose your gallery link, I am more than happy to send it to you again if you need to re-download your final images.
Refunds
I do not provide refunds to my clients. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your images, I will work with you in other ways to ensure your satisfaction.
