How to Book Your Photography Session
Booking Your Session
To book a photography session, simply fill out my contact form. I will respond promptly, usually within the same day unless I am photographing a wedding (in which case, I'll reply the next day). I'm happy to guide you through the entire booking process. Get in touch today!
Session Duration
How long will my photography session last?
Most of my sessions, including family photos, senior portraits, and maternity sessions, typically last around 1 hour. I keep things fun and engaging, especially for families with young children, to ensure the session stays enjoyable for everyone. For weddings, however, my packages range from 2-hour elopement sessions to full-day wedding coverage.
Photo Delivery and Gallery Access
How will I receive my photos?
All of your photos will be delivered through an easy-to-use online gallery, usually within 2 weeks of your session. You’ll receive a link to your gallery, where you can view, select, and download your high-resolution and web-sized images. High-resolution images are ideal for printing, while the web-sized versions are perfect for sharing on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
Additionally, you will receive a personalized photo app on your phone for easy access to your images for 90 days. Wedding clients will also be able to download their wedding photos and share their gallery with loved ones immediately.
Retainer & Deposit
Do I need to pay a deposit to secure my booking?
Yes, I require a $100 retainer to secure your date for non-wedding sessions. The retainer will be credited toward your selected package, with the remaining balance due the day before your session.
Wedding clients are required to pay a $500 retainer to secure a full-day wedding package. The remaining balance is due 1 month before your wedding date.
Booking Confirmation
Will I receive a booking confirmation?
Once we finalize your session date, you will receive a booking confirmation, a session contract, and any additional details you may need.
Choosing a Location for Your Session
How do we choose the best location for our photos?
I provide all clients with a comprehensive location guide featuring my top recommended photo spots around San Antonio and surrounding areas. After you select a location, I’ll send you detailed directions to ensure we meet at the perfect spot for your photoshoot.
What to Wear for Your Photo Session
What should we wear for our photos?
Choosing the right outfits can make a big difference in how your photos turn out. Here are some tips:
- Avoid tiny patterns like pinstripes, houndstooth, or small polka dots, as they don’t photograph well.
- Bold, solid colors or complementary shades always look great. For instance, consider pairing navy and yellow with white for a balanced, stylish look.
- Flowy dresses work beautifully for beach sessions, and most importantly, wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident.
What to Bring to Your Photo Session
What should I bring to my photography session? To make your session more comfortable and enjoyable, I recommend bringing:
- Water to stay hydrated.
- A towel in case we get wet (especially for beach or water shots).
- An extra set of clothes for those who might get splashed or wet.
- Snacks to keep little ones happy and energized.
Having these items on hand will ensure you’re prepared for anything!
Photo Printing Services
Do you offer photo printing services?
Yes, I offer high-quality professional photo printing services. Although you're not required to use my printing services (since every package includes a print release), I work with a reputable printing lab to provide beautiful canvas prints, metal prints, photo albums, and more. Feel free to contact me for more details on printing options and pricing.
Vacationing in San Antonio? I can ship prints directly to your home after your photos are ready.
Image Rights & Usage
Do I own the copyright to my photos?
As the photographer, I retain the copyright to all images, but you will receive a Print Release. This release allows you to make unlimited personal reproductions or prints for your own use and to gift to family and friends.
Will my images be watermarked?
No, your high-resolution digital files will not have watermarks, ensuring you can use them freely for printing and sharing.
Travel Fees
Do you charge a travel fee for sessions outside San Antonio?
I do not charge a travel fee for photo sessions within the San Antonio area. However, for sessions in Austin or surrounding areas, a travel fee will apply.
Photo Editing & Quality
Will all of my photos be edited?
Yes, every photo you receive will be hand-edited by me. I provide fully edited images, with color corrections and any necessary adjustments, such as removing distractions or enhancing details.
I specialize in wedding, engagement, family, senior, and maternity photography, and I take on a limited number of clients each month to ensure top-quality editing and a personalized experience for each client.
