FAQs

We’ll meet, chat for a few minutes about any specifics you want to cover and then start shooting. If you book a longer session, we’ll spend some time walking between shooting spots. Don’t worry if you are uncomfortable in front of the camera - I’m here to guide you. My goal is to make you as comfortable as possible and delivery quality photos that spark joy!

Outside of completing the contract and invoice, think about what you want to get out of the session and exactly what you want to use your photos for and communicate that with me before we start shooting so I can curate your experience. You don’t need to bring anything with you or prepare anything for me, I’ve got you covered!

I have a fast turnaround time! All galleries are delivered within 1 week of the session, although most are delivered sooner.

Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in! If you are booking a 60 minute session with me, you have the opportunity to do an outfit change. Please check with me first if you plan to do this so we can prepare ahead of time.

If there is extreme weather, we may reschedule your session at our discretion. Conditions for cancellation include severe rain or snow or other natural disaster warnings.

Absolutely! I just ask that you tag @jessrhood on Instagram.

I book sessions anywhere from 2 days, 2 weeks, or 2 months out. Just depends on what type of session you’re booking! Always ask even if you think it is last minute!

I do not offer discounts on standard private photography sessions, but I often host “photography parties” that are 5 minute mini sessions at a below value rate. Stay tuned for dates - I always share these on my Instagram!

Payment is invoiced through Squarespace, payable by credit card or bank account in full prior to your session start date.

No, I do not release raw versions of photos under any circumstance.
