Basic Info

Thank you for allowing me to create photos for your family! My style is “lifestyle” and I love capturing the beautiful moments of your life. I try to document the authentic love between family members in a fun way. This is done through a combination of posed photography with prompts and documentary photography.

Payment is due at time of booking. Within 24 hours I will send you a confirmation email with directions, an invoice and a basic contract. You can pay directly through the invoice by credit card. I also offer Venmo or Paypal if you prefer.

There is a non-refundable $50 retainer fee for cancellations, with the remainder of your payment refunded. I can always move your appointment to a different day or time if needed!

Photos can be digitally downloaded and I sell the highest quality prints and canvases from my online viewing gallery page.

If there is a high chance of rain or snow (60% or greater) forecast for the day and time of your photo shoot I will recommend we reschedule. I’m not able to photograph if it is raining or snowing, due to potential damage to my camera.

I try to give as much notice as possible if we need to move the photo shoot! If it looks gray and dreary outside, don’t worry. Some of the best light is overcast light.

Your family’s health is important. There isn’t anything worse than a sick and unhappy child. At the first sign that you or your kids aren’t well, please let me know and we will reschedule for the soonest available date.

Being late, it happens! Life happens! I will wait up to 15 minutes before having to leave to do my next session. My contact information is on every email and on the contact page of the website. Just give me a call if you know you’re running behind so I can plan accordingly.

I include blemish retouching and teeth whitening in all my packages. Do make sure your clothing is ironed and free of wrinkles, as clothing retouching and fly away hair removal is an additional charge. Get plenty of rest the night before the photo shoot and bring a comb or brush with you.

It generally takes about a week for me to edit and upload the files to your viewing gallery, but it may be sooner. For senior sessions, please allow 2 weeks to edit and upload the images.

I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones and helping to create treasured memories. I can’t wait for you to see the final product. Thanks for choosing Katie Scalmato Photography!
