Additional Session Info
I take pride in the session experience and quality that I offer throughout your entire experience with me. I am a planner and prepare for multiple scenarios to ensure you get the absolute best photo experience from beginning to end.
With that in mind, all sessions are guaranteed a backup date for weather or in the event that something unpredictable comes up. I want you to enjoy your vacation including getting your photos taken. Let me take the stress out of getting in front of the camera.
COMMUNICATION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. I do have set office hours I work during the week and I do take weekends off. Please know you will hear back within 48 hours of contact or first thing following the weekend.
All sessions will require a retainer and contract at booking. Travel fees may be included based on location. Please reach out via my contact page, so we can discuss everything and I can help create a customized quote for your needs.
You can now book your session through an entirely automated process. If you have questions, please reach out via my contact page or via email at saltsunphotography@gmail.com.
FAQ
Why am I your photographer?
Out of my 150+ weddings I have photographed and countless family and general sessions, my number one compliment is how comfortable and natural I make it for anyone in front of the camera. I am able to create a beautiful photo all while creating a unique experience that best expresses you. I have also experienced everything you can think of with weddings from good to bad and am prepared for anything!
Tell me more about your pricing structure. Do you offer discounts?
The number one thing I hear from all my clients is the regret of not having someone who truly knows what they are doing from beginning to end with their photo session. Yes, you can grab a camera and take a quick photo, but being a photographer is more than that. Photographs for all occasions will only increase in value for you over time. If you are shopping around trying to find the cheapest deal, I understand needing to save money. But please note, I am not that photographer. You deserve to have someone who will fit all your needs including your wants, desires, and budget. But please know, I value the entire session experience. My pricing is firm and I do not offer discounts. If you are a repeat client, this will be the only time I offer a special.
That being said, I am very passionate about all of my clients who believe in and want the value of their authenticity captured.
What should I expect during my session?
Have no worries, I am here for every aspect! I will help you pose and become comfortable in front of the camera. You can expect to pick one location and we will move around the area to create beautiful images together. You can expect up to 45 minutes. I like to keep you as long as you are having fun. We do not have to use the entire session time. I am very quick at getting great photos because I want to work as long as you are fresh and having fun.
Will you photoshop us?
I am a huge believer is body positivity and capturing who God made you to be! I will touch up blemishes, tan lines, scrapes, etc. But I will not alter your body in anyway.
I do send out a questionnaire prior to your sesison to ensure I get every photo you are wanting without you having to worry about telling me. If you are concerned about specific areas, let me know. This way I am aware and can pose you in ways where you love your photos! :)
Do you come to us or do we come to you?
My first preference is to come to you if you have beach access! My goal is to keep your session as convenient to you as possible. You are on vacation right? So, let's keep it that way!
If you don't have beach access, I will send locations very close to you that I have photographed at that you can travel to. I choose locations that offer convenient parking and easy beach access.
If you are up for an adventure, I also can recommend farther locations.
Are galleries fully edited when we select our photos?
Yes! While some photographers have you select your photos before editing, I DO NOT. I cull and edit the full gallery and send it to you. To me, you don't get the "full picture" of your session unless they are edited.
Lighting situations for every session is different and I don't like to show you something before it has the edit because of how it may look pre-edit.
When can we expect our photos back?
All sessions will have galleries delivered within three to four weeks of your session date. I take my time while editing because I want to provide the very best photo that I can for you.
Do you charge for additional people over a certain amount?
No! I have one base session fee for a specific amount of people. Please see my session info above. Everything in my session fee includes travel, my editing time, communication with YOU, every individual you bring the a session, and more.
What if I want more than amount of photos given for my session?
I have an option for my clients who want more photos. My goal is to give you options when it comes to your galleries if you love more than the base amount of photos that come with your package.
Following your allotted image amount you get with my standard session fee, you can purchase additional photos for $10 a photo.
I also have an option if you fall in love with your entire gallery, you can purchase the entire gallery. I charge a flat rate of $350 for a full gallery on top of my standard session fee.

If you have further questions before going through the booking question, please feel free to email me at saltsunphotography@gmail.com.
How far in advance should we schedule a session with you?
I have been booking out a few months in advance. So please, if you are interested, contact me ASAP! I am only taking a limited number of sessions to ensure my clients get the highest quality of service I can provide. You will never feel pressured to book with me, but I want you to know what to expect.
What if i have additional concerns?
I am an open book. If you have ANY questions or concerns about ANYTHING, please do not hesitate to bring them up with me. I am here to support you and nothing is bad to bring up or talk about. Things can be spoke in confidence with me and I will do my best to accommodate your needs and address your concerns.
What about weather?
I will always guarantee a backup date. If you book with me, we schedule two dates for sessions. One for your main session and a secondary date incase weather comes in because Florida can be unpredictable with wind and rain.
Are you permitted, licensed, and insured?
100%. There is no question to this. I chose to start a business. I want to do things correctly and legally. This means being properly insured, properly permitted for every county, and having a legal state business license. I operate as an LLC.
Are there other fees we need to considered?
My package price includes everything from travel fees to taxes, editing time, and travel time. The only time that a travel fee will be added is if you are staying west of Destin or east of 30A. If you have questions, please let me know! You will know exact pricing at the time you reach out!
What if I'd like a re-edit on a photo?
100% let me know! If I miss a hair or you see something I missed in the main edit, let me know! My goal is to provide EXACTLY what you want in your photos. I can easily touch up shadows, hair, tan lines, and people in the background. I will not alter your appearance though in ways that take away from your natural look. I want you to look the way God made you and that is the perfect way. :)
Do you offer payment plans?
I do! I can create a very specific set up for you and your needs. Please note, all session fees are due prior to the session date. If we need to make special arrangements, please talk to me! I am happy to try and create something that works for both of us. :)
