SESSION FAQ
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN OUR SESSION?
My sessions include up to 90 minutes of shooting on location within 30 miles of
Chicago or Nashville, unless another location is arranged beforehand. If you need some ideas on locations, don't worry I have plenty of suggestions! I also allow my clients to pick a location that might be special to them. Your online ordering gallery will be posted 2-6 weeks after your session is shot. The online gallery is where you will order all prints and other products. All products, including individual digital files, prints, albums & canvas wraps are available for purchase รก la carte unless otherwise noted in your package. The artist reserves the right to select the images included in the gallery. Images are selected and edited at the Photographer's discretion and reserve the right to edit and release only those deemed creditable as professional in quality and within the Photographer's artistic standards. If a high res disc of session images is purchased by the client the disc includes the images included in the client gallery (between 50-125 images are typically delivered on a session disc).
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
Your session allows for two outfits total. Many couples start in something a little dressy, and change mid-way through the session into something more casual and relaxed. Bright colors are always great. Avoid all black or all white. Being comfortable and being yourself is the most important thing.
WHAT DO WE DO IF IT IS RAINING ON THE DAY OF OUR SESSION?
Generally if it is just a light mist, we will proceed with the session. However, in the case of heavy downpours I will re-schedule the session for another time. Cloudy days are a favorite for d'art photographie photoshoots!
