You may rebook your session only one time. After that initial rebook you will be asked to place a new deposit. Your scheduling email will have link to reschedule

Can my boyfriend, husband, friends, or family come to my shoot and hang out?

We are woman-centric photography studio, meaning we cater to nearly all females. We book several clients a day so there are always usually people in makeup, hair, shooting, and in the stages of getting in and out of wardrobe. We do not allow guests of our clients to come with them because our studio is small and it becomes crowded and cluttered very easily. Also because there are several clients in various stages of dress, we want everyone to feel as comfortable as possible. Thank you for understanding.

My appointment is set for __o’clock. Should I get there earlier for hair and makeup?

No. Hair and makeup appointments are factored in when booking a slot. Show up at your appointment time and you will be fine.

How long does a shoot take?

If you are booking hair and makeup package, each look takes around 3 to 4 hours depending on the complexity of the look. If you are not booking hair and makeup then you will show up ready to shoot (with the exception of wardrobe) and shoots last around 60 to 90 minutes.

Will I get prints with my package?

No. Our packages include digital media delivered via a Dropbox folder. Dropbox is a dependable source for transferring files. We do not do prints because anymore most clients just want the digital files so they can print what they want. If you require a print release we can provide one for you.

Do you offer gift certificates and how long are they good for?

YES! We do offer gift certificates. You can purchase a gift certificate for any amount towards a package. Our gift certificates are digital so they are easy to purchase! Gift certificates are good for 1 year from the purchase date and can not be combined for multiple discounts if one was used to purchase the gift certificate.

Where are you located and where do the shoots take place?

We are located in Groveport, 15 minutes outside downtown Columbus, Ohio. The shoots take place outside of the studio in a park within walking distance, weather depending. If it is raining or the weather is poor we will shoot inside the studio.  We never guarantee an outside location as weather or other things outside of our control can effect our shooting location.
