There is a 50% non-refundable retainer fee that is required at the time of scheduling to hold your spot. Your session will not be scheduled until the booking fee is paid and the contract is signed. All fees must be paid 24 hours prior to the scheduled session. A la carte items will be paid for prior to their delivery.

Each package indicates the number of digital images included. You will be able to purchase more digital images at $10 per image or an additional $100 for each entire edited gallery (excluding wedding, elopement, and birth sessions). Packages do not include printed images. RAW or unedited images will not be released.

It would be my honor to photograph your wedding in your dream location! This is your special day so let's make it everything you dreamt about. I even have a Passport! Let's talk!

Second shooters are not included in my packages, however one can easily be added for $75 per hour of coverage. What is the advantage of adding a second shooter? Two photographers can easily be in different places at the same time, getting different perspectives, and making sure we don't miss a thing. This is very helpful with weddings!

The honest answer is maybe. If I have another session before or after yours, I may not have the availability. The sooner your reach out to me, the better I can accommodate your request. Wedding sessions can be extended at a rate of $100 per hour and will include an additional 50 edited digital imager per each additional hour.

I use Nikon gear. I primarily use a Nikon z9, which is the newest full-frame Nikon mirrorless camera. I also have several DSLR cameras including a Nikon D500 and Nikon D850 that I use in tandem with the mirrorless camera. This allows me to have different lenses on each camera to work faster. Also, having additional cameras on hand gives me a back-up in case of equipment failure.

No. You can order your prints anywhere you like with the print release I will give you. Pictures should only be printed using professional photo labs including mPix, Miller's, Nations, Bay and WHCC. I do not recommend printing from other labs and cannot attest to their quality. I am happy to print your photos for you at an additional cost.

The majority of my sessions are scheduled during golden hour, which is approximately one hour before sunset. Depending on the time of year, golden hour will happen at different times (earlier in the winter and later in the summer).

I want you to be happy and I hope you love your pictures. Please review my portfolio. Your images will be edited within my portfolio style. Re-edits can be requested for an additional charge. I will capture your session in a true-life way and will not edit these images in such a way that it alters the likeness of individuals including height, weight, wardrobe, etc. Images cannot be re-edited, cropped, or filters added by clients. Additionally, unedited or RAW images will not be given.

Some sessions only include one location. Other sessions include the option for multiple locations. The biggest thing to keep in mind is how far apart the locations are. Driving time between locations is included in the session time.

Life happens! If you need to reschedule and you inform me with at least 24 hours notice, I will do everything in my power to find another date that works for us both. If another date cannot be agreed upon, I will gladly refund half of the non-refundable retainer. In the event that 24 hours notice of need to reschedule is NOT given, an addition $25 rescheduling fee will be charged. I will do everything in my power to find another date that works for us both. If another date cannot be agreed upon, the non-refundable retainer will not be refunded. Failure to show up for a scheduled session forfeits the non-refundable retainer fee.

Your photos will be edited using Lightroom and Photoshop. I will edit your images consistent with my portfolio. If these are not the style you like, please let me know what you do like. If it is not a style that I can edit to, I encourage you to find a photographer that edits in the style you like. Ultimately, I want you to be happy with your photos no matter which photographer you choose! I will perform edits for acne and tooth whitening, however I will not perform any edits to alter appearances such as face/body thinning, wardrobe modifications, or other advanced Photoshop actions.

Yes. As the copyright owner to the images, any images from your session can be used for advertising and promotion by Breezy Bird Photography.
