General Photography Questions

1. How do I book with you ?

   Each session is personalized with time and location so I really like to have a conversation about hopes, expectations, and ideas. Id love to have a general idea of these things before deciding on a special date and time so I don’t have an online booking section in case there are special requests. Please send an email, phone call, or text to book.

2. Do you deliver every image that you take?

    No, I do not. We eliminate duplicate images, test shots, missed focused shots, shots with bad expressions and other images that may dilute the overall product delivery.

3. Do you shoot Quinceaneras, Debutants, Bah Mitzvahs, or Corporate Events?

   Yes. These are all considered ‘event photography.’ I have chosen to focus and excel on portrait and event photography, and I would love to cover your celebration.

4. Do you touch up all the images in our image download?

   Yes I do. Every image I deliver is post produced with my unique signature style of post-production. This involves color correction, exposure adjustment, selective black and white processing, clarity adjustments, tone-mapping, and other corrections. Many photographers will not post produce any images, or will only post produce “select” images from your session. This means that you may have pictures that are too dark, have strange skin tones or other common photography flaws.

5. What is the difference between advanced and custom editing; and why are there additional costs for a custom retouch?

   Advanced post-production includes touch-ups such as removal of blemishes, removal of bags under eyes, removal of fly-away hairs, etc. On the other hand, custom post production is anything that requires extensive, custom work in Photoshop such as removing entire objects from the scene, changing the size and shape of body parts or other objects in the scene, adding objects to a scene and other custom work. We charge hourly for the custom post-production as the time required ranges depending on the complexity of the project. Please contact me for a quote for custom post-production.

6. What happens if we go over the contracted amount of time?

   I understand that not everything goes as planned . I never pack up before the contracted time, and moreover, I’m not leaving on the dot when the contracted time is up. Instead, I will ask you at the end of your contracted time whether or not you would like to extend. If you would like for me to stay, I will charge the additional time rate rounded to the closest 30-minute increment.

7. How many images do you typically deliver from a session? From a wedding?

   I typically deliver anywhere from 10-20 images per 1-hour shoot and for a wedding, we typically deliver 60-80 images per hour. Keep in mind these numbers may increase or decrease depending on the flow of the day and the number of events/activities needing to be captured.

8. What size can we print our photos up to with our full resolution image download?

   In most cases, you can print your photos up to 20×30 without any quality loss. If you’d like to print larger than 20×30, additional post-production will be required. For pricing on these services, please contact me!

9. What rights do I have to the digital prints?

   You have the right to reprint images whenever you want. However, you may not sell your images for profit or publish your images without the written consent of Jolie Photography.

10.  How do I reserve you for my date?

    All dates are reserved once we receive your signed contract and deposit.

11. How do we pay you? Is there an additional fee if we pay via credit card?

    Currently PayPal, Venmo, Cash, Check and Credit Card are all perfectly fine. Please contact me for how you plan to cover your session.

    The retail adjustment fee for all credit card transactions is 3% of the charged amount.
