(PRONOUNCED 'SHY')
Let’s talk about photography for your next event.
Thanks for stopping by, please take a look around . . . enjoy some of my favorite photos I have included in my portfolio. I am always available to answer any questions you may have, and to help. I have composed a list of the most commonly asked questions below. Also be sure to check out my blog, it is full of adorable sessions for you to peruse.
Do you have an office?
Yes, my home studio is located in Acworth, GA, about 45 minutes outside of Atlanta, and my hours are by appointment only. Please submit an inquiry form to schedule an appointment.
Is this your full time job?
Well, not counting my two kids (and my husband), yes, this is what I love to do and all that I do.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel fees will depend on the distance from Acworth and it’s surrounding areas. There is no travel fee for anything within an 45 minutes of Acworth, GA. I do not travel for newborn sessions. Those are held in my home studio located in Acworth.
How long will it be before my images are ready?
Sessions typically average 3 weeks to edit depending on the season. You have the option to pay an additional $100 + tax to any session fee to rush your editing to be completed within 3 business days. Your session would be moved ahead in the editing schedule. This also depends on calendar availability so check with Chi.
How will we see our images?
Once your images are edited, you'll receive an email with a link to preview your images and share with friends and family. No one can access that gallery unless you send them the link. Depending on your session type and purchase, a flash drive will be mailed to you once you receive your gallery viewing email. Any editing requests that require extensive editing is priced separately.
Can we print from the Flash Drive?
Yes, images are high-resolution Jpegs with no watermarks. They are yours for your own personal use and come with a Client Print Release. Images can not be altered without prior approval. Any commercial use requires purchase of a commerical print release.
How long do you store my images?
I never want to delete your images, but I typically store them for 2 years.
What kind of equipment do you use?
I use professional Canon digital SLR bodies, Canon professional speedlights and Canon lenses. These are Canon’s finest professional lenses. And yes, I have backup equipment.
When is it best to schedule our portraits?
In order to have time to properly plan for your session, 3 months in advance is recomended for any session whenever possible, even newborns. Newborn sessions should be scheduled by the end of your 2nd trimester.
What is your payment policy?
I ask for a non-refundable $100 retainer and a signed contract to book a newborn session. All other sessions require a non-refundable $25 retainer and a signed contract to hold your date. The balance of your contract is due the day of your session. Contracts and retainers are due within 48 hours of booking to hold your date and session rate.
