Everything you need to know!
- How long is a photo session with you?
-
We start 45-50 minutes before sunset and stop when we are out of light. Now if its cloudy, we may start an hour earlier. I'll be in touch with you the day before and the day of to make sure we are beating the weather.
- Which beach...
-
Any beach! I serve every beach between Panama City Beach all the way to Miramar and Destin. List where you are staying in the "Contact Me" email that way I can find where the best location is closest to you. I can also meet you at your condo or house if you are staying directly on the beach or walking distance!
- What do I bring?
-
Just a happy go lucky attitude! Now if there are kiddos with us possibly a bribe.. as long as it isn't a messy bribe like chocolate! I've had some parents bring sour patch kids, m'n'ms, and goldfish.
A safe bet is also some towels.. we are on the beach after all!
When it gets super warm sometimes some members of our group get extra sweaty (cough cough- dads- cough cough) and they may benefit from a change or shirt or a towel to wipe those beads of sweat in our hotter months like June-September.
- What payment options do you accept?
-
I take venmo, cashapp, paypal, check, and of course cash too!.
- How long is the typical wait?
-
No longer than a week. 5-7 days, not including holidays!
- Do you have a cancellation policy?
-
If you cancel before 1pm of our session date, you'll be refunded your deposit! This usually happens if there is higher than a 50% chance of rain all evening long, and your family doesn't want to risk it and cannot reschedule.
- Do I get access to RAW files?
-
No, I do not save RAW files. If you are looking for a photographer who will give you the RAW files you will definitely want to ask that before hand!
- Do you do collaborative editing?
-
My product that I sell: 75+ EDITED high resolution Jpeg images.
The reason for this is so that my name is attached to my work, not yours.
For example, I might take a photo that originally would not be up to par due to the nature of the outdoor photography, but I am able to make it better on photoshop.
If I give you the RAW photos now my name is on that product I sold.
Like if I were to give you an unfrosted cake, some people sell those, but I finish my product and sell it as is.
If you would like to do collaborative editing this is an important thing to communicate with your photographer about.
It is not industry standard to release RAW files and it is highly unlikely to find a professional who will.
Thank you for understanding!
