Frequently Asked Questions
What are your rates for a photo session?
Regular sessions are individually priced in packages to fit you needs. Event sessions are $150 per hour. Mini sessions are all individually priced as well Clients receive all edited photos through a digital passcode protected gallery. No sitting fees or other hidden fees. If a client requests a location that requires extra fees for use, THOSE FEES are responsibility of the client to pay. Sessions can be outdoor, in studio, or in-your-home set up is available! Sessions held outside a 1hr radius of Rapid City will require an additional travel fee. All sessions require a client/photographer contract to be filled out BEFORE a session appointment can be ACCEPTED.
Where are you located?
Currently located in Rapid City, SD for now. All sessions are mostly held outdoors, but in-studio & in-your-home sessions are available upon request or if stated in the session description. I am willing to travel; sessions held outside a 50 mile or 1hr radius of Rapid City will require an additional travel fee. Travel fees vary by the distance/mileage used to get to the destination of the session.
Do you do mini sessions?
I do offer mini sessions, as well as having model calls available! What makes them different from a regular shoot is time limits and number of photos you receive edited. You can check out any mini session rates or specials on my Facebook page, or on the website near the bottom of the home page or under sessions. All sessions require a non-refundable retainer fee to be paid and a client photographer contract to be filled out BEFORE a session appointment can be ACCEPTED, but it varies on type of session.
Are pets allowed at or in the photo session?
ALL FURRY, SCALEY, FEATHERY, AND HAIRY/HAIRLESS CREATURES ARE WELCOME TO SESSIONS! I am a huge animal lover and enjoy including them in your special moments as they are family as well. CLIENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PETS/CREATURES & FOR ANY MISHAPS/ACCIDENTS THAT OCCUR (per your client contract that is signed before a session).
What are your hours?
I am available most days & hours. But being a mom and military wife, it works best to do sessions between 8am-2pm on weekdays or after 4pm. I am open all day on weekends. I appreciate scheduling out a session about a week before wanting them done, but for accommodating short notice sessions, please message me for availability!
How long are sessions?
Each regular session is individually set for time limits. Depending on how packed the day is or the time between sessions may affect the length. There are no extra fees for time over the designated time. For big events, I can be available up to 12 hours a day. My rate is $150 per hour for events. All event sessions require a nonrefundable retainer fee to be paid BEFORE a session appointment can be ACCEPTED. Mini sessions are usually held between 30 mins-1 hour time frame. Model calls are typically 30 mins or less.
