HOW DO WE FIND OUT MORE ABOUT YOUR SERVICES?
I can meet you at your favorite coffee shop or local eatery. You can also visit my home office located on the north side of town off highway I10 and 1604.
During our meeting we can discuss packages, look at albums, and I can answer any additonal questions. You are also welcome to call or email me to discuss pricing and services in detail. Meetings are scheduled most weeknights (or weekdays if you are available) while weekends are reserved for photo shoots.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE? ARE YOU FILM OR DIGITAL?
I use all of the latest Canon equipment with an artistic array of lenses to choose from. I shoot all digital, although I started out in film.
HOW MANY IMAGES DO WE END UP WITH?
For weddings you can expect between 50-100 images per hour (roughly 450 for a 5 hour wedding). Portrait sessions produce between 40-60 finished images.
DO YOU PROVIDE THE DIGITAL NEGATIVES?
All of our wedding packages include the digital negatives with permission to make as many prints as you wish. Digital negatives are high resolution, print-ready files burned to a DVD. My basic portrait package does not come with digital negatives, but can be purchased for an additional fee.
WHO WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHING OUR WEDDING?
If you choose the basic package, Anna will be photographing your wedding day along with an assistant based on the size of your wedding party. If you choose one of our Collection packages, Anna and Kaycee will be photographing your wedding day story. Having two artists on your wedding day has many benefits and our final product together is what makes Real Life photographs so unique.
Please check out Kaycee’s website for more of our work together.
WE WANT REAL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHS TO SHOOT OUR WEDDING. HOW DO WE RESERVE THE DATE?
We require a $1500 deposit and a signed contract to reserve your date. We shoot a limited amount of weddings per year, so book your wedding early.
DO YOU CHARGE FOR TRAVEL?
Wedding packages include 120 miles (round trip from 78255). After that a small fee is calculated depending on the location of your wedding and package.
Portrait sessions must take place within the San Antonio area. I love to travel, so please inquire about destination weddings and portrait sessions.
I’M INTERESTED IN MATERNITY AND NEWBORN SESSIONS; WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY PHOTO SHOOT?
Maternity sessions are best scheduled at around 36 weeks, and newborns are best photographed between 6-14 days. Newborn sessions take place in your home, where you and your new little one will be most comfortable. I use all natural light, and find the best location in your home (usually by a window) to set up a place to photograph your baby. Maternity sessions take place outside at the location of your choice.
WHEN WILL I GET TO SEE MY IMAGES AFTER MY WEDDING OR PHOTO SESSION?
After your wedding, within the first week I will post a "sneak peak" my favorite images on my blog. Expect to see the entire set of wedding images in about 4-6 weeks. Portrait sessions are usually available to view online within 2 weeks of your session date. I will generally post a few images from your portrait session on my blog as well (before the 2 weeks).
WHAT IS AN ONLINE GALLERY?
An online gallery is a password protected website where you can view and order your photos from your session. You are able to send the link and password to any family or friend who you would like to share the photos with. You can also schedule a viewing and ordering home consultation if you need a little guidance through the ordering process.
