What To Expect
The Need-To-Knows
How Do I Set up a session?
Go to "Contact Information" at the bottom of the page and email Quackrafts2@gmail.com, or call (603) 204-0531
What happens during booking?
I work with you to find the best location, time, and theme for your photoshoot so that the images we get best reflect your vision. Choosing a location might alter the final cost of your session (i.e. some locations require tickets) but all of that will be laid out up front.
What are your prices?
Prices vary. Sessions start at $40 for the photos, $10 for development, totaling $55*. Additional fees such as tickets/parking/passes for certain locations, pets, etc. may apply. All prices are negotiated before the session.
What happens during a shoot?
I do my best to keep you comfortable! Many of my best shots have been the immediate aftermath of a joke or funny story. My goal is to showcase the very best of you!
What happens after a session?
Within 24-48 hours I will create two folders of your images. The first is a "Top 20" folder with the best 20 images, handpicked by me (or you if time allows) after a session. Those 20 images are fully "developed", meaning lighting, any necessary photoshop, and vibrancy are suited to your plan. If you only want those 20 that's perfectly fine! If not, I also send you (via Google Drive, Dropbox, or flash drive) ALL of your images, and you can choose to take them "as is" or have me develop them at no extra charge.
What happens to my photos after they're developed?
Absolutely nothing (unless you say so!) I keep backups in a secure private folder in the Cloud so you'll always have them if need be, but I DO NOT touch your photos after development.
If you'd like, I offer photo printing/framing at an additional charge.
