Inclement Weather

If we find that weather is less than optimal, we reserve the right to reschedule your portrait appointment to our next available opening. During summer months, we typically book two dates in the event of rain. Florida weather can be all over the place and usually cannot make the final call until 24 to a few hours prior to the scheduled shoot. 

How will I view / order my photos?

After the session, we will either schedule a time for you to come back to the studio and view your portraits in our projection room or review them immediacy following your shoot*. Please have all decision makers present at this time as the order must be placed at this time.

If shooting on location for headshots, we will review your photos with you on a laptop.

Online viewing is also available for clients who are out of town, though we recommend viewing your portraits in our studio. Our viewing technology gives you a much better idea of color and cropping. 

How long does it take to get the final images?

After payment is received for ordered product(s), turnaround time is as follows: Headshots: Same day or next business day; Portrait sessions: Digital / Prints 1-2 weeks; albums 3-4 weeks. We also offer a rush service. Turnaround time for wedding photos are up to 30 days.
