ABOUT THE SESSION

A: We book sessions Tuesday, Wednesday-Friday and Saturday's will be upon what is available. from 9AM-3PM.

Q: How soon do you recommend booking?
A: As soon as possible! If you are doing this for a special occasion we recommend getting in for your shoot roughly 4-6 weeks before the date, 5-7 weeks if you are ordering a book. However, the sooner the better! It is much easier (and less stressful) if you book your appointment for a few months in advance. If you need your images returned within 10 business days there will be a rush fee applied of $50.
WARNING:
Don’t wait to book until the last month before your livingsocial or Groupon expires! We want to make sure that all of our clients get in for their shoots, but remember, with such a full calendar you must book way in advance.
If you wait until the last month to book and we do not have anything open the deal cannot be extended.
