FAQ
Questions I get asked a lot ::
Q: What does a session cost?
A: Mini sessions are $150. Full sessions are $575. Digital packages start at $875. Weddings start at $2750. Contact amymelsaphoto@gmail.com for details.
Q: Where do we go for the session?
A: The location depends on the style and vision you have for the session. Sessions can take place either on location, or in your own home, utilizing natural light. In either location my goal is for you to be completely relaxed and comfortable. That relaxed atmosphere is key to getting great images. If you need help picking out a location I can give you suggestions, just let me know!
Q: Do you travel outside of Austin for sessions?
A: Yes! I do often travel for sessions outside of the Austin area. There are additional travel costs for sessions to take place outside of the local area and sessions are subject to availability: A travel fee outside of 20 miles from 78610 will be assessed to cover my costs.
Q: What do you recommend we wear?
A: Look for coordinating and contrasting items, mix texture and color, select a complimentary color palette, and for it to represent your personal style.
Q: When is the best time to book a maternity session?
A: Maternity sessions are best photographed around 32 to 36 weeks!
Q: How do I secure a session and how far in advance?
A: I recommend booking your session approximately 2-4 weeks in advance. If you are wanting a photo session in the spring or fall I suggest booking by August. A deposit of half your session cost will secure you a spot on my calendar. This is non-refundable but transferable in the event of bad weather or unforeseen cancellation by you. The remaining balance is due on the day of the session.
Q: Do you accept credit cards?
A: Yes, via Paypal, Square or Venmo.
Q: What happens after the shoot?
A: Approximately 2 weeks after your session at least 50 digital images will be available for proofing.
Q: Do you do touch up's for blemishes?
A: Yes. Minor imperfections and blemishes are part of my regular editing process. If you would like any additional editing there is an additional fee of approximately $25, depending on extent/time of edit.
Q: Will any of the images come in B&W?
A: If I feel like the image would look better as a b&w I will convert it, otherwise it will stay color. If you have a preference, please let me know!
Q: Do you archive session images?
A: Your session will be archived for 1 year. I recommend once you have downloaded your digital images to back them up twice. After 14 days your link will expire. If you need me to re-upload, there is a $25 fee.
