Frequently Asked Questions
We know that booking a photo session for your family can be a big decision, and we want to make sure you feel comfortable and confident in your choice to work with us. To help with that, we've compiled a list of commonly asked questions about family photography. Whether you're wondering what to wear, what to expect on the day of the session, or how to choose the best images for your home, we're here to help. We're excited to work with you to create beautiful, timeless photographs of your family that you'll cherish for years to come.
What should we wear for the photo session?
First and foremost be yourself! It's best to wear coordinating, solid colors that complement each other. Avoid clothing with busy patterns or logos, as they can be distracting in the photos.
How long will the photo session take?
The length of the session will depend on the the number of people in your group. Most family photo sessions last around an hour to an hour and a half. This will include getting to know each other so you feel comfortable in front of the camera, a shoot and any outfit changes.
Can we bring props or special items to the session?
Absolutely! Props and special items can add a personal touch to your photos and help to tell your family's unique story. Just be sure to discuss any props or special items with us beforehand, as they may need to make arrangements to accommodate them.
It is scheduled to be bad weather on the day of the photoshoot?
In the event of bad weather, we will work with you to reschedule the session for a more suitable time. Depending on the location chosen, there may be an indoor option.
Do you offer payment plans?
If you are interested in this option, please ask during the initial enquiry. We want to support all family so everyone has the opportunity to capture special moments with their loved ones. We can arrange a payment plan from booking until the session.
Can you accommodate special needs or disabilities?
Yes! During the initial enquiry, please make us aware of any requirements so we can make necessary adjustments when considering locations, poses and timings.
Do you offer any discounts or promotions?
Yes, we offer discounts for returning customers or referrals to show the appreciation of loyalty to Laura Elizabeth Photography. If you are a returning customer or have been referred by a friend, please let us know on the initial enquiry.
Can I use my photos on social media?
Yes, you are welcome to share your photos on social media or other personal platforms. We typically provide a set of edited, high-resolution digital images for you to use as you wish, and we encourage you to share your photos with friends and family and to post them on your social media accounts. We just ask that you do not alter the images in any way, such as adding filters or overlays.
Can we use my images for commercial purposes?
While we are happy for you to share your photos on social media or with friends and family for personal use, we do not allow the use of the images for commercial purposes without our permission. If you would like to use the photos for any commercial purposes or share with other suppliers, just let us know and we can discuss the terms and conditions of such usage with you. We will be happy to provide the license if appropriate, but we just ask that you respect our copyright and do not use the images without our permission. Thank you for understanding!
