Questions
Frequently asked questions.
How far in advance should I book?
For couples and vacation sessions, two to four weeks is usually sufficient. For surprise proposals and any session requiring specific coordination, four to six weeks minimum. During peak season from December through April, contact me as soon as your travel dates are confirmed.
How many photos will I receive?
There is no limit. Every edited, enhanced, and retouched image worth delivering is included. A typical 60 to 90 minute session produces anywhere from 60 to 150 or more images depending on the session type and how it unfolds.
When is payment due?
A 50% non-refundable retainer secures your date at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due in cash (USD) on the day of the session, prior to or at the start of coverage.
Do you charge extra to photograph at resorts?
I am a preferred vendor at Half Moon, Tryall Club, Rose Hall, and Round Hill Resort. No vendor fees at these properties. For other resorts, any access fees are communicated clearly before your booking is confirmed. They are never a surprise.
How long until I receive my photos?
Standard delivery is two weeks from your session date. Rush delivery within 48 to 72 hours is available at an additional cost, useful for clients who need images before leaving the island.
Can I order prints?
Yes. Your session includes full print and enlargement rights. Prints from standard sizes through to large-format are available to order directly through your private online gallery.
What if it rains?
Brief showers are part of Jamaica, particularly in the afternoons. In most cases we simply pause and continue. If genuinely severe weather makes a session impossible, we reschedule at no penalty.
