****Frequently Asked Questions******
When is my session fee due? In order to (attempt to) organize the chaos which is my life, all session fees are due within 7 days of booking your date and time. I accept Venmo, Paypal, cash or check written out to Leah Monroe. What if the weather isn't nice or someone is ill the day of our session? I keep days open on my calendar for any rescheduling needs due to weather. I do my best to accommodate changes in bookings due to illness or emergencies. Please understand that rescheduling may result in changes to location and times to fit you into my calendar. I love Pinterest. No seriously. It is one of my favorite ways to pass the time. I do not mind looking over your Pinterest board to get an idea of what you like for pictures, but please understand that you booked with me most likely because of the work you have seen on my page, or maybe because you saw a friends session. If there are 1 or 2 Pinterest pictures you just have to have, I'll be happy to replicate them for you, but please do not expect me to copy your entire Pinterest board. You will be much happier with a session that reflects you and your family as individuals versus being a clone of someone else's work that has been copied several times over due to Pinterest. What colors should my family wear for a session? Your session is all about your individual sense of style, with that being said try to stick to a base of family colors. (Earth tones, Greys, etc.) Different shades of blues always look good together. Reds are a little trickier to match up. You can mix and match patterns, but keep it to a minimum. For my own family sessions I like to go with the 2/3-1 ratio. 2 or 3 main colors (Blue/Grey/White) and 1 pop of color (coral). I'm happy to look over your outfits via messenger if you feel insecure and want some opinions! Where do I see my pictures? Once edited all sessions are loaded into a private gallery just for you. I will message you with the link, password to access the gallery and another password to download the digital images. Images do not expire and are accessible 24/7/365 once editing is completed. Where do I print my pictures? I highly suggest www.mpix.com or www.nationsphotolab.com for reprinting. Please note that if you go to Walmart, Walgreens, Shutterfly, etc that the images produced are not a true indication of the digital file. Colors, contrast, exposure, etc are very different at each of the box store labs. Trust me. Go with the suggestions I have given. You won't be disappointed! How soon can I see my images? Editing can take up to a week. I try my hardest to get sneak peeks up on my page within a day or two of your session, but please understand life circumstances may delay editing or uploading sneak peeks.
