SESSION FEE
- Each Session requires purchase of a Collection at the time of booking. This includes a non-refundable retainer fee.
- I accept cash, check, or credit cards. NSF checks will be charged an additional fee.
PREPARING FOR THE SESSION
-
If you have any specific ideas or themes for your session please let me know so I can plan just the right backdrop, prop, or location to really capture what you are envisioning for your portrait.
-
If you have certain locations in mind for your session, please let me know in advance, so we can plan on being there at just the right time. Lighting is key! Some locations work better for morning sessions while others are better in the evening. Shooting at high noon is not ideal and most sessions will be done early morning or in the evening. Also, I do have access to several private locations, so please mention it in advance so that I can contact the property owner.
THE SESSION
-
Your session will generally last 1-3 hours depending on the type of session. To give you an example: Senior sessions are 1-3 hours, Family session take about 1 to 1-1/2 hours and young children take less than an 1 hour.
-
Every client will be required to fill out a Session Contract and Model Release. The contract includes payment information, expectations, delivery and copyright information. The Model Release allows Fallon Mindt Portraits to use your photographs for advertising, marketing, print competitions, etc. If you do not want your photographs shared in any way on social media please let us know at the time of your ordering session.
-
I prefer to photograph most sessions outdoors. Why not take advantage of Montana's great scenery? We live in a beautiful place and I would much rather have that as your background.
-
Generally photographing your session outdoors is okay, even if it is cloudy or there is snow! Usually rain, snow, extreme cold or gusty winds will be the only factors that will prevent our ability to shoot outside. Please take this into account if little ones are part of the family. Infants and small children have trouble staying warm. If this occurs we will reschedule your session for a later date.
AFTER THE SESSION
- I could shoot for hours on end, just because I simply love interacting with clients and capturing the beauty and uniqueness in every person, but I know you don't want to spend hours getting your pretty face photographed.
- The real work begins after your session. I will go through all of your images and pick only the very best out to present to you. This ends of being anywhere from 20-50 images based on the type of session you booked.
- Your images will be presented to you in an online gallery within 2 weeks after your session. You will have 7 days to access your gallery and place your order. If friends or family want to place orders they may do so through your gallery.
- After you place your order it will take 4-6 weeks to process and for products to come in. We check everything to make sure it is to our high standards before it is delivered to you.
- We will call or contact you to schedule a pick up or delivery date and time.
- At the time of delivery we will ask you to make sure everything looks okay and meets your expectations. We will leave you with care instructions.
- Please let us know how we are doing. Give us a review on Facebook or Google. We love feedback and want to make sure we are exceeding your expectations!
RESCHEDULING POLICY
- Life happens! I understand that people get sick and emergencies happen. Please notify me as soon as possible to reschedule your session due to circumstances out of your control. 24-48 hours notice is appreciated.
