What to Expect

Ideal ages for fairy portraits are 4-11. It will depend on your child's mood and ability to focus on the photographer. Session fees are non-refundable, so make sure your child is prepared for the session with plenty of sleep, no sugar and a calm few hours prior to her session. Sessions typically take 30 minutes. Sessions are limited to one hour, in order to prepare for the next appointment. Children under 3 typically don't understand what we are trying to do and they don't enjoy it as much as children over 3. It becomes overwhelming to them and they end up having a melt down and wanting to cling to mommy.

Session Fee:
The session fee is $99. This does not include any products or prints. This is to pay for the photographer's time and talent and the extensive costumes and sets.  

Day of your session:
Punctuality is perfect. When you arrive on time, we can capture your memories in the most relaxed  and fun way. Please do not arrive excessively early. The photographer uses the time in between sessions to set up for your session, return calls and emails and eat lunch.

Your session will begin with your child choosing a special dress. During the session, the photographer will use her expertise to capture natural reactions and expressions. She will direct them through the poses, with no assistance needed from the parents. You can sit back, relax and watch this precious memory unfold. Please try to refrain from telling your child what to do during the session. We need your child to focus solely on the photographer. Everything she says to them is for a very specific reason...although you'll think she's trying to get them to do something else.
 

Presentation/Ordering Appointment:
After your session, you will come back to the studio approximately 2 weeks later to purchase your portraits. The number of images vary by session, typically between 12-20. After viewing and selecting your favorite images, we will work together to create your order. 
Anything not purchased on this day, will be discarded. Therefore, it is important that all decision makers attend this appointment because this will be the day you purchase your portraits. Please write down all of the family members that you need to get prints for. Every Fairy Portrait will be extensively edited to produce the ethereal images that are the end result. We will help you choose your favorite portraits and show you beautiful fine-art products, wall art, memory boxes and custom personalized fairytale books.

Multiple Sessions and Ordering:
Each portrait session will be treated as an individual session. Portrait sessions cannot be combined in a product package. No refunds are allowed once work has commenced on an order. 

Photo Delivery:
All orders will be available to be picked up at the studio approximately 3 weeks after your ordering appointment.
