the lilyblue session

 

RESERVING YOUR SESSION

lilyblue photography is typically booked 2-3 months in advance so it is important to reserve your session date as soon as possible. once your session date is reserved, you will be requested to complete and submit a portrait agreement and model release (located under the "reserve session" tab of this site). the session fee payment is due within five days of session date confirmation and is non-refundable.

we will also begin planning your session together, discussing location, clothing, etc. approximately one week prior to your scheduled session, you will be emailed a confirmation of our appointment. please let me know in advance if email is not a good communication option for you.

please note that all christmas sessions must be booked and shot prior to november 15th.

ILLNESS

if your child is not feeling well, please call or email to reschedule as soon as it is apparent that your child is too ill for the session. it’s okay if your child has a runny nose, but please clean his/her face prior to arriving and have plenty of tissues on hand. finally, if your child has a bump or bruise, don’t worry—i will retouch during the editing process. if you have concerns with regard to illness or are in doubt, please call. 

WEATHER

overcast skies can be ideal for outdoor sessions. but because i shoot in natural light bad weather may keep us from a successful session. if the weather is rainy or dark i will call you the morning of the shoot to reschedule.

SHOOT DETAILS

when we meet, i’ll take time to get to know you and your children. please feel free to further discuss any ideas or visions you might have for your session at this time. i might also take some time to scout out areas with good lighting. my goal is that the session is casual and comfortable. i want you to walk away thinking—wow, that was fun.

ONLINE GALLERY AND ORDERING

your proofs will be finished within two weeks of your shoot. they will be a combination of color, black and white and toned photographs. when editing, i make creative choices on how to process each image. the proofs are fully edited photographs and i take care in making each portrait a work of art. when your photographs are ready i will notify you via email. you will recieve a password-protected online gallery and slideshow (live for 7 days), to view and share with family and friends. all digital proofs shown are ‘touched up’. any additional retouching requests, beyond what has already been done and presented in your on-line gallery will be charged a fee of $100 per hour ($50 minimum).

if your gallery expires, you may request an extension for $50 per week, for a maximum of two weeks. in-person proofing sessions are available, but request must be made in advance. all print orders must be paid in full within two weeks of order placement. orders will not be printed until payment is received. your payment in the form of cash, check, money order, paypal or credit card is accepted. orders must be paid in full within 3 days of order placement. if payment is not received, your order will be cancelled. your photograph prints will arrive 4-6 weeks from the time payment is received.
