FAQ

HOW MUCH IS YOUR TRAVELING FEE?

A.Travel fees depend on the distance from Manteca and may include tolls or entry fees if required by the location. Most local sessions (within 30 miles) include travel.

WHAT IF I HAVE TO RESCHEDULE?

A.If you need to reschedule, please notify me at least 48 hours in advance to retain your deposit.
Late notice (less than 48 hours) will result in a forfeited deposit and require a new deposit to rebook.
I reserve the right to reschedule due to illness, weather, or emergencies. If I must cancel and cannot reschedule, your deposit will be refunded in full.

WHEN WILL WE GET OUR PHOTOS?

A.My standard turnaround time is 2–3 weeks after your session.
During peak seasons or holidays, delivery may take up to 3–4 weeks. I’ll always communicate if there’s any delay, and rush delivery (within 3 days) is available for $25.

HOW MANY PICTURES WILL WE RECEIVE?

A.Each session includes a set number of images based on the package you choose.
You can always purchase additional images for $10 each or 5 for $35.
