Now that the weather is warming up here in Ohio, I thought it might be nice to share some common FAQs for family photography sessions! I will be starting sunset sessions again in April and cannot wait!
1. WHAT TIME DO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
Sessions take place at sunrise and at sunset at most locations. If you have young children with early bedtimes, I highly recommend booking in September or October when the sunset is earlier! Check out another blog post of mine here for more tips about sessions with young children!
2. WHERE DO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
Family sessions generally take place at a Metropark location in the Columbus, Ohio area. When you book your session, if you are the first session of the evening, you will be provided with a list of park options for location. I have created this list based on years of experience for which parks work best at certain times of the day! If there is a special location that is sentimental to you, of course please let me know and with a little planning, we can usually make it happen!
3. WILL YOU TAKE ANY POSED PHOTOS OF US?
Yes, I take a few looking-at-the-camera-portraits of you together as a family, and an individual portrait of each child. I know these types of photos are important to document, too. The remainder of your session is all about capturing moments more naturally as they unfold and documenting your family connection.
4. CAN I PRINT MY PHOTOS?
Yes! You have printing rights and online personal use rights to your photos.
5. WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
I will contact you in the days leading up to your session and if it looks like rain we can either reschedule (if you're keen to have some photos outside) or play by ear and make a same-day decision to hold your session or not. There are a couple of indoor locations can move to as well including the Franklin Park Conservatory!
6. HOW DO I VIEW MY PHOTOS AFTER THE SESSION?
Within one week of your session, I will send you an online proofing gallery. From this gallery, you will choose which photos you would like. Once your favorites are selected, I get to work editing the photos and will send them to you once they are ready. Usually within two weeks. You will be able to download the full-resolution image files from this final gallery. The image files are ready for print and online personal use!
