What if the weather is bad on the day of my shoot?

PhotoShop is an awesome tool with a lot of power.  However, nothing replaces making sure the home is photo ready when the photographer arrives.  Photoshop does not do windows, clean floors, put the kids toys away or play gardener.  Keep in mind that the home will look as good in photos as it does in person. Treat your Photo shoot day as an Open House day as this is what the photos are.

Can you just PhotoShop that?

Ideally, for day time photo shoots  2 – 4 days’ notice should be provided in order to get your preferred date and time. We can occasionally accommodate last minute requests, but it is best not to rely on that.  Twilight photo shoots are very popular and tend to fill up quicker.  The more notice you can provide the better.

How much notice do you need to schedule my photo shoot?

Normally you should allow 24- 48 hrs to receive your digital files.  If you have a deadline, please make sure you book me well in advance. And email or text me as we can rush jobs if needed in the same day.
