How far out should I book?
For Summer bookings, I usually open up my schedule around late Feb, early March. June-September dates are usually fully booked within a few weeks of opening my schedule so make sure to think far in advance to schedule your Summer sessions!
For Fall/ Spring/ Winter, I recommend booking at least 2 months out. Winter is my slow season so I can, at times, have availabilities within just a few weeks out.
I rarely have cancelations but I do have a waitlist I can put you on incase any last minute availabilities come up. I reach out to people on my waitlist before announcing that it's available on Instagram.
Never hesitate to reach out though to see if I have any last minutes availabilities! Ya never know :)
Do you travel?
Absolutely! I am ALWAYS down for an adventure.
Travel fees do apply so just contact me via instagram or my contact form describing what you have in mind and I'll get back to you very soon.
Can I include my pets or props in the session?
Yes of course!!! Bring anything and everything you're passionate about.
How do I hire you and what does that process look like?
Once you've decided that I'm ur girl, you can either dm me on Instagram or fill out my contact form here on my website. Give me ALL the details on what you are after.
After that, I'll share my availability with you to pick a date.
From there, I will send over your contract and invoice. Those are due within 24 hours to secure your date. If those aren't done within 24 hours, that date is back up for grabs and I can no longer hold that date for you.
Once you've completed those, I will reach out again a bit closer to your session date to discuss locations and all the details.
Once you've hired me, we are a team now. I am here to help you with all ideas and details. If you have any questions during your process, never hesitate to reach out!
Do I have to think of my own locations for my shoot?
I have a wide variety of locations you can choose from. Anything for mountain ranges to city views, I know of a location for anything you may have in mind.
If you have a specific location you want, I'm always happy to go wherever you want! I love going to new locations and areas that are special to you for your session.
I have no idea what I should wear or what to do in front of the camera, HELP!
Don't even worry, I got you! I will always help you out with posing and what to do. Just come as you are and I'll lead you through the rest.
As far as outfits, whatever you are most confident is always best. Try to stick to colors that are more neutral and avoid anything too bright or busy in pattern. Definitely stay away from mostly red/ orange colors as they tend to make peoples skin tones look off.
If you ever need any help picking an outfit, feel free to reach out and send me pics of what you're thinking! I love helping with that :)
How long will it take to get my images?
During October-May, expect to get them back within 2-3 weeks.
During June-September, expect to get them back within 3-4 weeks.
For weddings, I will deliver a sneak peek gallery within the first two weeks and then should have your final gallery delivered within 4-6 weeks.
Obviously life can cause delays so if anything is going to be delivered later than usual, I will do my best to communicate that to you!!
Can I have the raw and unedited photos?
To maintain the integrity of my work, I don't offer my raw images. I also don't allow additional editing on top of my work. All of this is included in my contract in which every client signs.
How should I get prints?
I HIGHLY recommend ordering any prints, canvases, cards, albums, etc through the gallery that I sent your photos.
The prints are high quality and it's super convenient to use.
Do you have any other questions?
Never hesitate to reach out to me directly! I pride myself on being quick to respond.
I respond quickest on Instagram (@emilylynnphotography) or you can email me through my contact form here on my website.
