Absolutely! We understand this is a significant investment, and we don’t want finances to stand in the way of your decision. That’s why we offer flexible payment plans for up to three months to make it more manageable for your family.
06. Do you offer payment plans for our heirloom selections?
We take pride in being a trusted resource for our full-session clients, offering custom-designed experiences from start to finish. What you wear plays a significant role in the look and feel of your images, and we know it can be a major source of stress. That’s why we provide a personal stylist to take the guesswork out of outfit selection, allowing you to simply enjoy your session.
05. What should we wear? I want to make sure we look our best!
Bring as many loved ones as you'd like—the more, the merrier! We love capturing extended family sessions and make the ordering process seamless by scheduling separate ordering appointments, allowing each family member to choose their favorites at their convenience.
04. How many people can we bring? I have a big family!
Of course! For every printed portrait, you’ll receive the matching high-resolution digital image. Album clients receive 40+ digital images, while wall portrait clients usually receive 7+ digital images.
03. Do we receive the digitals too? I love sharing ours on social media.
We simply reschedule! No one wants rain on their parade. We limit the number of portrait sessions we take on, ensuring the flexibility to create the perfect day for you—because you deserve nothing less!
02. What if it rains during our session?
Digital images purchased will be delivered via a private online gallery link for you to download and share within the same week of your ordering appointment. Physical heirlooms will arrive 4-8 weeks after your session, depending on the custom pieces we have designed together.
