1. How do I book a session?
If you would like to book a session, you can e-mail me at Embracingmomentsbyjael@gmail.com or call 305-333-7704.
2. What should I wear for my session?
For a group or family sessions, it is important to coordinate, although you don’t have to necessarily match. For individual portraits, you have a little more freedom with your outfit. For teens and children, it is also fun to bring special props or hats to reflect your child’s personality. For newborn sessions, solid colors is recommended for parents and siblings and either just a diaper or naked for the babies.
For senior sessions, I also recommend colors and props that reflect your personality. You may want to bring items that are part of your life, such as sporting goods, music, etc.
3. What time of day should we do my session?
You will want to schedule your portraits either in the afternoon/evening time or in the morning when the light is the best. For newborn sessions, we can schedule the shoot for whatever time your house gets the most natural light which is usually mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
4. Where should we take our pictures?
Location consultation is part of your package and I can suggest locations for you based on your pre-session questionnaire. I am certain we will find the perfect location for you whether it is a traditional nature area or a neat urban spot. Your ideas are also welcomed. :)
5. What happens if my shoot gets rained out?
I am a natural-light photographer, so all weather-related cancellations will be automatically re-booked.
6. Do you do weddings?
I am a natural light photographer, therefore for now, I only do outdoor weddings. Please emaile me Embracingmomentsbyjael@gmail.com for wedding packages.
7. Do you have any specials?
I offer 10% off the session fee for returning clients. I have other sales and promotions going on which I post here under the "Sales/Promotions" tab and on my Facebook page so be sure to check in on those pages often. You just might never know when you will miss a great deal.
8. Do you sell prints on a CD?
Unless specified, CD with images are included in my session fees along with a print release form.
On the form, there will be instructions on what you can and cannot do with the images contained on the disc.
Here is what you can and cannot do with those images.
Things you can do:
- make prints for personal use
- make greeting/announcement cards for personal use
- make photo books or photo gifts for personal use
- upload the watermarked images in the LOGO folder onto the web to share with your family and friends (however, please do not remove the watermark)
- enter the photos into contests – unless you have written permission from me. Not even for those “cute baby” contest.
- post full-size non-watermarked images on the web
- alter/edit the images – your session fee includes photographer’s time and talent in editing/processing your images.
Yes, I can and will remove any blemishes from your face if requested by you.For more detailed editing, there will be a small fee per image.
10. Why are your prints so expensive compared to prices found at local printing stores?
My goal is to offer the best quality products out there so that your images last a lifetime. I order your products from a professional photo lab which provides better qualities that local printing stores. When you order prints from me, they will either be linen textured prints or mounted, some will come in both.
Linen texture adds an artistic look to your photos and mounting helps protect them from being bent or torn.
