Studio Policies:
Thank you for choosing our studio to capture and document your most important moments!
To provide the best service to you, we ask that you observe and follow our studio policies!
1. We do have a cozy waiting area that is stocked with water, juice, and packages snacks. Please inform us if anyone has a food allergy and we will do our best to accomodate special requests and to prepare our studio for you.
2. Only immediate family who are being photographed are allowed in the studio during the session. You children and siblings of newborns get bored quickly and we ask that a friend of the family member takes them home after we photograph them first.
If you have older siblings who will be photographed first, we ask that a friend or family member take them home so we can focus 100% on the rest of the session. This is also for their safety: young children often get tired and bored quickly during a full session. Unsupervised kids are naturally curious and we do not want to send you a bill for broken props and equipment.
We reserve the right to end the session due to unsupervised children as this impedes our ability to complete a session and may cause a smaller final image gallery.
3. Etiquette: Our of respect for your commissioned photographer, we do not allow cameras, phones or any other recording device during our sessions or reveal and order sessions. It creates a distraction for the photographer and confusion for the person being photographed if there are two camera lenses to focus on.
4. Non-Refundable session reservation fee is due at the time of booking along with the signed contract to reserve your session. To reserve your session, non-refundable session reservation fee is due with signed contract.
5. Please bring well fed, rested, and clean children to your session. Well rested, fed, smiling + happy children are what you want to remember, not tears and tantrums! Please nochocolate or cheetos before your session! We do not edit out dirty faces or messy hair!
6. Our goal is to photograph you as you are now! When your family sees you they see perfect! Our editing covers basic edits to sibtly smooth skin or color correct. Additional edits are $25 per image: Headswaps, teeth whitening, etc. If there is a specific blemish or mark you wish to have removed, please inform us before your session.
Edits: We do not edit to make you thinner, taller, different eye color or hair color.
Please inform our staff before your session if you or a family member has physical limitations so we can plan your session with special care.
We strive to have a very clean and healthy environment in our studio, especially for your tine newborn clients. If you or your child is or has been ill within 48 hours of your session please reschedule your session. A happy healthy child also photographs better and results in wonderful keepsake moments!
No smoking in our studio or on our property during sessions. Little lungs cannot handle it and smoke can damage our equipment and props.
Reveal / Order:
Session is approximately 1-2 hours. If you have small children please consider leaving them at home with a family member or sitter. Your order session will be smoother and without distractions or inturruptions.
A second order appointment session requires a fee for $200 to schedule. This is because an additional session takes away from another client session.
Allow 4-6 weeks for your order to be processed and ready for pick-up. Specialty orders such as albums may require extra time as our craftsmen make them by hand.
Holiday season, product orders may take an additional 2-3 weeks (Aug-Dec). We will have our holiday order deadlines posted in August.
If you need your first order faster, a rush fee will be applied.
Prices are subject to change without prior notice, current prices are locked in at time of paid booking and are honored for 30 days from first complimentary order session.
