Sheena's Holding Onto Today Photography

Here are a few questions that I tend to get asked often. If you have any additional questions or feel I missed something, please let me know. Thank you

 

 

How much does a session cost?

Sessions cost depend on the type of session and the amount of people in the sessions. Please view my "Investments" tab.

 

Why do I have to pay a 25.00 deposit?

This deposit is simply to hold your spot for that day. It's also for myself, if you cancel, I don't lose money for traveling to the location, purchasing props and getting everything together for your photo session.

 

Are there any additional fees other than the session fee?

Yes, if you want a thumb drive the fee will be 30.00. This includes the thumb drive, envelope and UPS shipping fees. 

 

 How can I pay?

Cash, check or credit. For credit card transactions add an addtional 3% for swiped card or online transactions and 4% for manually entered transactions

 

When do I pay?

You will pay your 25.00 non refundable deposit at the time of booking. Then you will pay your session fee once we are finished with the photoshoot after signing the Photo Release Form.

 

Are there any refunds?

Yes, only if I accidently delete all your photos then you will get a full refund and a free make-up session. 

 

What if I hate my photos?

Hopefully that never happens. But if it does then we will discuss options, either a highly discounted second session or maybe re-editing could fix the problem. 

 

How long will the session take?

If you book a 1 hour session, expect to spend about an hour and a half to 2 hours with me. We will not be shooting the whole time. Between moving around if we are outdoors, adjusting props, outfit changes, kids being kids and the paperwork it will take longer than your session. 

 

When will you get to our session?

Depending on the kind of session I will arrive anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hour early. Most outdoor sessions I can get there about 5-10 minutes early if I am doing a party with a lot of props or a special backdrop I will get there about 30-45 minutes early.

 

When do I need to arrive at my session?

Please arrive about 5 minutes early or right on time. In most cases I have multiple photoshoots that day and showing up late could make me late to my next session or make your session be cut short.

 

What kind of sessions do you do?

I do anything from small family, kids, maternity, newborn, cake smash, senior portraits, pets, head shots, model, vintage pinup, engagement, wedding, parties, bands, burlesque and boudoir.

 

What all is included in the session?

You will receive images online to download to mulptiple devices.  We will sign a Photo Release Form giving you full permission to print and post your photos freely. This Photo Release Form has no expiration date and can be used at any time.

 

Do you bring props?

Yes, depending on your type of session will depend on the props I will bring. If you want a certain prop and I do not have it you must give me time to order, buy or make your prop, so that I have it for your session. Most props I do not mind purchasing myself. If you are requesting a prop over 50.00 I will require that you pay for half the prop. 

 

Can we bring our own props?

Yes! If you want anything at all in your photos please feel free to bring it along.  

Do you edit the photos?

Do you edit the photos?

Yes, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Adobe Lightroom 5. I do brightness, contrast, white/black balance, enhancements, blemish removal, removal of unwanted objects, eye brighten, teeth whiten and more. You wil recieve full color images, black and white images and single colored enhanced images. 

 

When will my images be ready?

I will have your digital images ready within 2 weeks or less, depending on my work load and the type of session we did together.
