Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I book a session?
Begin by filling out the contact form. Once we decide on a date and time, there will be a small non-refundable deposit to hold your spot. I accept payment via PayPal, Venmo, cash or check. Once your deposit is received, you’ll officially be on my calendar. We’ll touch base before your session to finalize outfits, locations, and any additional questions you may have.
-
Where will the session take place?
I primarily hold sessions outdoors. I adore the scenic parks, charming landscapes, and beautiful spots that showcase our lovely surroundings. There are also some fantastic urban settings nearby for those who prefer that vibe. Once we determine the type of session you want, we’ll collaborate to find the perfect location that suits your style!
-
Do you travel?
Yes, I love to travel! However, there may be a fee for milage. Locations that are distances over 30 miles from my home will be charged an additional $25 per hour.
-
What do we do in case of inclement weather?
Good weather is so important for a successful session. As most of us already know, Texas weather can be unpredictable at times. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, I may suggest rescheduling.
-
How many family members are included in a family session?
My portrait sessions are limited to immediate families only. I focus on capturing smaller groups to ensure a more personalized experience. Please note that I do not book extended family sessions, but all immediate family members are welcome. Thank you for your understanding!
-
How long does it take to receive my photos after the session?
Typically, the turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. As a mom of two little ones and a full-time nurse during the week, I appreciate your patience. Your images will be worth the wait, I promise! I’ll do my best to get them to you as quickly as possible.
-
How will I get the images from my session?
Once your images are fully edited, I’ll upload the entire collection to an online gallery, which you’ll receive via email. You can view, download, share, and order prints from any computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access. To share your images with family and friends, just send them your unique link. They can also view, download, and order prints.
-
Can I upload my photos to Facebook or other social media sites?
Yes, of course! Please tag me or give ‘Pamela Rodriguez Photography’ photo credit under each photo.
-
Will I own the images?
Sort of! You can download, print, create discs, and share your session images with friends and family. This is covered by a ‘Shared Printing Release,’ which grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free right to reproduce, distribute, and publicly display the photographs in any format. However, Pamela Rodriguez Photography retains the copyright for all original images
