FAQs & Session Fee/Add On Information
How do I share the album with my family and friends?
- You copy and paste the link to the album to share over text message or email, OR share through the platform that you chose to download the gallery to (google photos, dropbox, etc.)
- You will have 2 weeks to download the gallery before it is erased from pixieset. A reminder email will be sent out by pixieset before it expires. Please be aware of this feature!
How do I get photos printed? Do I have to order prints through Madalyn?
- No, you do not need to order prints through me! You can get prints wherever you would like (I have heard that CVS, Shutterfly, and Snapfish are all great options). After you have downloaded the full gallery they become yours!
Can I edit or photoshop the photos from our session?
- No, please do not edit or photoshop the photos in any way after downloading them. Photographers work very hard spending hours to edit them to match their style of photography.
Can I just screenshot the photos I want to save to my phone off of the website gallery?
- Downloading may seem very tedious and time consuming at first thought, but in order to have quality photos it is necessary to download the photos and NOT screenshot them. Screenshotting the photos will diminish the quality of the photo which can cause blurry prints and fuzzy or grainy photos when posting to social media, printing, or sharing with others.
- No, unfortunately I do not photograph weddings. I am a Registered Nurse and tend to be very busy so I have not ventured into the wedding photography world quite yet!
How far ahead do I need to book my session?
- Depending on the season, you may need to book 4-6 weeks prior to the session to ensure I am available. The busiest months are October-December and May-July. Please plan accordingly.
How long does it take you to get the photo gallery back to me?
- This is one of the most common questions I get asked. This depends on my work schedule as well as the amount of sessions I have that week. But, it is guaranteed that I will have them returned to you anywhere from 48 hours to 14 days. Because of this, I do not send sneak peeks to you before the gallery. I send the whole gallery at once!
I have a specific location in mind, can we use this location or do we have to take photos where you typically do them?
- Absolutely! I am always up for a new location within the area, and actually enjoy it.
Do you have a travel fee? How far will you travel?
- Yes! I currently charge a $20 fee per hour of distance from my location. Anything less than an hour I do not charge a travel fee for, and I will travel up to 2 hours from my location. Any session that is more than an hour away from my location needs to be discussed/booked at least a month in advance.
Can I bring my pet with me to my session?
- PLEASE! I love seeing all the furry (or not so furry) friends during our sessions. Just please communicate beforehand if you are bringing a pet so I can be prepared for poses and time management.
