1.HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?
This is usually the first question I get asked and understandably so! I try to lay it out on the table for you so that you know how much you will be investing and everything that you will receive in return. This is why have a page on my website which lays out my packages and pricing, you can find it here, https://www.raephotography.co/investment/
2.WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO HAVE MY SESSION?
This is such a great question and completely dependent on the vision that you have for your portraits! The location that you choose will be the backdrop of your portraits! The location is important in completing the final look of your photos and you want it to compliment your outfit of choice and or your home if you plan to incorporate your photos in your home. That being said, is your goal to have that romantic golden hour vibe with your hair blowing in the wind? You want to consider a park or dry field that will allow the sun to fill the background. Or, are you looking for more posed portraits to easily blend in with the aesthetic of your home? Downtown would be a great option.
One thing that I always encourage clients to consider is the downside of certain locations as well. For example, an open field can be windy and have muddy ground to walk on. However, if an open field is what you have your heart set on, I will help guide you so that you are prepared! I am all for doing whatever it takes to get THE photo. Whether that is wearing boots under your dress or taking breaks to warm up, we will certainly get it done. But these are things to consider when narrowing down your location.
3.DO YOU TRAVEL?
The answer is YES. I do travel and I absolutely love photographing new places especially if it is for wonderful clients! I have traveled to New Mexico, Colorado, Tennessee, and Arizona thus far. Travel rates do apply for locations outside of Mid-Missouri.
4.HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY GALLERY BACK?
Great question! I work my absolute hardest to get your gallery back as soon as I can. I pride myself in having a quick turnaround. As a rule of thumb portrait session are no more than 2 weeks and weddings are no more than 6 weeks and this is always worst case scenario because well, life happens sometimes!
5.HOW WILL MY IMAGES BE DELIVERED?
When you book a session with me, no matter the session you will receive a print release. When your gallery is ready you will receive a link sent to your e-mail to open your online gallery where you will be able to download and save your gallery straight to your computer! With that said, I HIGHLY recommend saving your photos to your computer and sharing them from there. When you download images to your phone and then attempt to upload to social media or have them printed, the files become compressed and will not have the same quality in resolution. However, this is something that I cover when your gallery is delivered!
