FAQ

What locations can I use for my portrait session?

I will travel up to 20 miles in any direction from North Salt Lake as part of the standard pricing. If the desired location is beyond that, there will be an additional charge to cover expenses incurred. Any additional pricing will be agreed upon before payment is made. I also provide my clients with a Location guide to help them decide on the location genre they want. I have both popular and hidden locations in Davis and Salt Lake counties for different styles.

 

Do I have to order my prints through Aune Photo?

I use professional labs for my prints and they consistently produce great results. However, you are able to take the high resolution images to any photography lab and order your own prints. I'm even happy to recommend both online and local labs that produce great results. One caution, however, is grocery store labs. They have auto-tuning features that may change the coloring, lighting, or exposure of the images when printed.

 

Are there any additional fees charged?

 

There are a few situations that may incur additional costs and they are typically known prior to booking. If there are fees incurred for the session (e.g. entrance fee to gardens, photographer fee to take pictures in a private location, etc.), those are the responsibility of the client.

 

What is the delivery timeline?

I typically deliver your Selection Gallery within seven days of your session (though it may take a little longer during busier seasons). Once you've selected the portraits you'd like finished, please allow up to two weeks for the detailed refinements before your completed Portrait Collection is delivered.

 

Can I bring props (e.g. instrument, sport equipment, stuffed animal, letterman jacket, shoe collection, etc.)?

For individual and senior portraits, this is encouraged. The session is all about capturing you! So bring things that represent you, have significant meaning, or show your accomplishments.

 

Do I need to order a package for prints to get the digital images?

Your session includes the number of artistically finished digital portraits outlined in your selected collection. Additional finished portraits or your complete Portrait Collection may be added at any time the gallery is still available.

 

Can you recommend any good locations?

 

Although I let my clients choose, often they don't know places that have what they want. If you tell me what kind of location you want, I can usually give suggestions and even photos taken at those locations. Do you want town and country, urban, classy, urban-edge, nature, waterfall, or something different? Let me know and we'll find the right place for you.

 

What if the weather is bad on the day of an outdoor shoot?

Each session is allowed one rebooking for weather at no additional cost. However, I cannot guarantee availability of desired dates if changed. My cameras and lenses are weather sealed and I can do pictures in drizzling rain and blizzards (I've done both) if you want to keep the session and get something even more unique.  The choice is yours and you will not be charged for Mother Nature's interference.
