Portrait Photographer Capturing the Light of Boston's South Shore
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, I will give you posing guidance and will help you feel more relaxed and comfortable.
I am double-vaccinated and boosted. If you would prefer me to wear a mask during the session, just let me know, and I will happily oblige.
Wear clothes that are comfortable and make you feel good. Steer clear of items that are prone to wrinkling or clinging. Keep in mind when choosing your outfit that you may be sitting down, lying down, jumping, and walking. Stay away from clothes that have logos or busy patterns, or are too matchy-matchy. If it is a family session, wearing colors that are coordinated and with one or two people wearing a simple pattern would be perfect.
I live in Hull, MA, and photograph within a 25 mile radius. Other locations will be considered for an additional fee.
Packages include a pre-session consult either by phone or email to prepare for your session, our session time, post-processing of images included in the minimum package in a downloadable gallery and a proof gallery. You will have the option to upgrade your package or purchase individual digital images for $30 per image.
You will be charged a $100 non-refundable deposit to secure your session time. Two days prior to the session the balance of the minimum package payment is due. Once you receive the full gallery you will have the option to upgrade your package.
I will send you an invoice to pay online through Paypal with a credit card. Alternatively, I will take cash or checks written out to Jennifer Lynne Photography. My packages are not taxed; however, the products you purchase are taxed.
I ask for a model release for every person in the session. This allows me to use your photographs for marketing purposes. My business relies on being able show prospective customers the photographs I take so that they can see my style and skills to make sure I am a good fit for them.
Your images will be delivered to you within 2 weeks of your session in a private, online viewing gallery of edited images. You will have one week to review the images and choose which ones you would like printed.
No worries if you have to cancel - as long as you cancel at least 48 hours prior to the session, your deposit will be credited towards your next scheduled session. Arriving late is a little trickier. As a natural light photographer, I schedule sessions relative to sunset to shoot with optimal lighting. Once the sun sets, we can no longer shoot. Consequently, if you arrive to your session even 10-15 minutes late, it will reduce the length of your session. If you are 30 minutes late, we will have to reschedule for my earliest available date, and there will be a $25 rescheduling fee.
I will contact you as soon as possible to arrange another suitable date and time. If this is a timely shoot that needs to be completed by a specific date, I will do my very best to find another photographer that can take my place.
I prefer not to shoot in rain or inclement weather as I want to make sure you look and feel your best. Also, I do not want to damage my equipment. If the session needs to be rescheduled due to weather, I will reschedule for my next available date.
I don’t give out raw files as it does not represent the highest quality images for which I strive. The photos may not be altered from their original state as delivered by me – this includes but is not limited to adding filters and changing to black and white mode.
Edited images refers to images that have color correction, enhancements, exposure correction, shadow and highlight recovery, lens correction, and a little artistic flare. Retouched images refers to more skilled editing work such as removing blemishes, acne, skin smoothing, and deleting objects in the image. Professional Editing is included with all packages. Limited Retouching is done on Headshots and Senior photos. Retouching can be done to any photo for an additional cost.
