Do I have to pay a deposit?

Yes, a deposit equating to 50% of the total price of your chosen photo session is required to secure your date and time slot. The remaining balance is expected the day of the service.

How is bad weather handled?

Weather is crucial for outdoor sessions. Rest assured, if inclement weather occurs, you'll have the flexibility to reschedule or move your session indoors. I closely monitor weather forecasts and will collaborate with you to make the most suitable decision.

What's the cancellation policy?

Life happens, and schedules can change. If you are need to cancel, please try to provide at least a 24 hours notice. Deposits are non-refundable but can be carried over to any rescheduled sessions within one year of the original date.

Can I share photos on social media?

Absolutely! Sharing is caring. I post a sneak peek from every session on Instagram, you're more than welcome to share these preview images. Just remember to tag @bluemeritmedia when you do!

Do you deliver unedited photos?

As a dedicated professional, only fully-edited and best-quality images are delivered. Rest assured, each image undergoes meticulous editing to ensure it aligns with the high standards of Blue Merit Media.

Can I obtain the RAW files from my session?

As a professional photographer, I strive to deliver carefully curated and expertly edited images that represent my artistry and expertise. As part of that commitment, I only provide the final, fully-edited high-resolution JPEG images to my clients. RAW files are not available for release, as they don't reflect the true finished quality of my work.

How do I receive my photos?

All images will be delivered via a personalized online gallery. This interactive gallery allows you to download high-resolution images directly to your device. Need more information about our various packages? Please visit our 'Investments' page.

What should I wear to my session?

Dress to express your individuality and style! Solid colors and simple patterns often photograph the best. If you need guidance, I'm more than happy to help!

When will I receive my photos?

You will receive your images within three weeks of your session. Extensive effort is put into ensuring that each image is well-captured and edited to meet my high standards of quality.

How do you handle last-minute bookings?

While it's always advisable to book in advance to secure your preferred date and time, I understand that sometimes spontaneity strikes or unexpected events occur. I will do my best to accommodate last-minute booking requests based on my availability. However, to guarantee a slot, bookings made at least two weeks in advance are strongly encouraged.

What if I like more images than listed on a given package?

If you'd like additional images beyond what's included in your package, they can usually be purchased a la carte. Please reach out to me, and we can discuss customizing your package to best fit your needs.

Will you retouch how I look?

I aim to capture my clients' natural beauty and authentic selves. I typically apply basic retouching such as color correction, exposure adjustment, and minor blemish removal. If you require more extensive retouching, let's discuss your needs in detail ahead of time.

What if we are not happy with the final images?

As a photographer, maintaining clear communication and setting mutual expectations is a fundamental part of my process. I encourage you to thoroughly read through my FAQs, review my portfolio, and take time to choose a location and outfit that resonate with you, as these steps will significantly contribute to delivering results you love.

Even with all these preparations, if you find yourself unsatisfied with the final images, I would appreciate you reaching out. My aim is to deliver the professional photography services outlined in your chosen package to the best of my ability. It's essential to me that you feel the results reflect the value and quality I strive to offer. In case of any concerns, I am happy in discussing potential solutions on a case-by-case basis.
