Everything you need to know about working with Cherished Photos
Getting Started
How do I book a session?
Simply fill out the contact form or email us at [email protected]. We'll schedule a call to discuss your vision, answer questions, and find a date that works for you.
What types of photography do you offer?
We specialize in portraits, couples, families, and editorial work. Whether you need professional portraits, want to document a special occasion, or have a creative project in mind, we're here to help.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for specific dates or seasons. However, we can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines—just reach out and we'll see what's possible.
The Session
How long does a session last?
Most sessions run 1-2 hours, giving us time to find natural light, explore different settings, and let genuine moments unfold without feeling rushed.
What should I wear?
Wear something you feel comfortable and confident in. We'll discuss wardrobe during planning—generally, solid colors and natural fabrics photograph beautifully. Avoid busy patterns or logos.
Can we bring props or personal items?
Absolutely. Meaningful objects, favorite books, or family heirlooms can add personal depth to your images. We'll discuss ideas during planning.
What if the weather is bad?
For outdoor sessions, we monitor weather closely and will reschedule if needed. Sometimes overcast skies create beautiful, soft light—we'll make the call together.
After the Session
When will I receive my images?
You'll receive a curated preview gallery within 1 week for selection. Final edited images are delivered 2-4 weeks after your session, depending on the project scope.
How many images will I receive?
This varies by session type, but typically 40-80 fully edited images. Quality over quantity—every image is carefully selected and edited.
How are images delivered?
Through a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images. All files are high-resolution and print-ready.
Can I purchase prints?
Yes. We can recommend trusted print labs, or you're welcome to print through your preferred provider using the high-resolution files.
