-how to book-

Go ahead and send us a message via Facebook, Email or give us a phone call.  We also have a 'contact us' tab here on our website! Our schedules do tend to fill up fast so if you're wanting a session during our prime season, (May - October) please message us sooner than later.  Our Saturdays are reserved for weddings primarily so please know that we keep Sunday-Friday open for sessions!

-retainer fee-

A $100.00 non-refundable retainer fee is required to fully book and hold your session.  Emergencies happen...I totally understand!  Please allow yourself as much time as possible to keep me posted about having to re-schedule your session.  If you do have to re-schedule, your $100.00 retainer fee will be able to transfer to your new session time/date.  If you have to cancel more than 2x,a new $100.00 retainer fee will be required to book. If inclement weather is causing us to re-schedule, it will not count towards the 2x.

 

-printing-

Once your photos are done you will receive a proof gallery filled with images from your session.  You will then be able to go through your proofs and select which photos you were wanting for your final gallery. (Please see the investment tab to see how many photos would be included with your package).  You will have the option to purchase additional images or the entire proof gallery if you're having a hard time narrowing it down. 

After you select your images, they will be uploaded to your personal online gallery where you are able to download the high resolution images to your phone/computer/tablet etc. for your printing and sharing purposes.

Please be aware that we do not allow printing at Walmart/Walgreens/Target/Costco for it will ruin the quality of photos that you invested in. We know that you deserve great photos which is why we do limit our print release.  For your printing purposes, we strongly advise to print at mpix.com for the competitively low pricing and high quality products.

Prints from mpix.com start out around 19 cents and often times ship right to your home in 2 days! (Obviously depending on the size of your order as well as what is included with your order)

-what to expect-

When booking a session with Photo Focus, you can expect a professional photographer with a plethora of knowledge and you can definitely expect to gain a friendship by the end of your session.  I am a down to earth girl who loves to capture emotions and not just smiles.  Of course we will have our traditional posed images but I love mixing it up, having some fun and capturing those candid images.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-location.location.location...

Locations for your photographs play a HUGE role into how your photos will look..and feel! I will always ask for suggestions.  If no ideas come to mind, I do have a long list of places that I will forever recommend. Tall grassy fields, woods, rivers, bridges, brick walls, city skyline, lakes, lighthouses, beaches and barns. You name it, I more than likely know of a place or I will try my hardest to find the perfect spot for your session.  I am able to supply props according to the different surroundings and ages of the members at the session.  I love to take advantage of what the location has to offer us for props as well.  If you have any belongings from home you want to incorporate into your photographs, bring them!! :)  A favorite chair grandpa made, blanket, signs, sports equipment etc.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-what to wear-

Wear something that is most importantly..comfortable!  You want your photos to portray YOU!  Does that mean jeans with holes/stains with a ripped flannel?  If you want to..sure!  Jeans are always nice in photos.  they are comfortable and paired with a nice top makes the perfect outfit for your session.  Try to stay away from small busy prints (polka dots, small busy floral prints, thin stripes etc.)  Large amounts of busy prints can take away from you and your family.  accessorize with prints.  A floral scarf, polka dot tank top with a solid cardigan etc. If more than one person in the photos..DON'T MATCH!  :)  Choose a handful of colors to work with and base your outfits off of those colors.  Blues, greens, purple,s reds and neutrals are always great colors. Stay away from neon/highlighter colors.  If you need help, please ask! :D
