F A Qs
How do I book with you?
Fill out the contact form here or email me at laurelestellephotography@gmail.com, and I will be in touch within 24 hrs! From there, we can design your session, discuss package prices, and set a date. To secure your date, I require a signed contract and a 50% retainer. I’m happy to work with you to set up a payment plan if needed.
Can I bring my dog(s) to my family, couple’s, or portrait session?
I’ve actually thought about requiring dogs for entry to all sessions? Just kidding, but really there’s few things I like more than including your furry family members in your photos! But, if you bring your dog(s) along, it’s good to bring an extra set of hands along to help during your session, unless your pets will be part of your whole session.
I’d like photos of/with my dog but he/she...isn’t trained/is reactive/can’t be off leash?
That’s fine! I actually prefer dogs to be on leash and we can remove the leash in post preduction. While it’s useful to have “sit” and “stay” commands, I have a load of experience working with all sorts of dogs and know how to get good photos of just about any dog, even those that are untrained or fearful of new people or situations. We will find a location that will be suitable for you and your dog and if your dog has extra special needs, let’s chat; I’m sure we can make it work!
Do you travel for photo sessions?
Yes! I love traveling! The session fee includes any location within 20 miles of midtown Memphis but I’m happy (so, so happy!) to venture further afield so let’s chat if you’d like me to photograph you or your family or your pup outside of the Memphis area!
When and how will I get my photos?
For weddings, you’ll have your photos within 6-10 weeks in your personal online gallery.
For portrait sessions, I will send your proofs to you within two weeks in an online gallery where you can pick your favorite images included in your package. When you’ve made your selection, I will deliver those high-resolution, fully edited images in an online gallery for you to share, download, and print. If you’d like the whole gallery, it is available for an additional fee.
Do you offer prints and albums?
Definitely! I’m happy to work with you to design the perfect wall art, album, or book to document your wedding or session. You’ll also be able to purchase prints and wall art through your online gallery. By ordering through your gallery, I can ensure your prints will be of the highest quality from a professional print lab. Your contract will include a print release so you can print your photos where you like but please know that many consumer labs (drugstores, big box stores, etc.) can alter colors and reduce the quality of your images.
