General Questions

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE PRE-SESSION CONSULTATION?
We will talk about what we can do to create the ideal session specifically for you. When you book a session, we want to know everything about you, your kids, your family, your house, and your style! We will discuss clothes, and we would love to see images of your home so we can talk about certain wall spaces and plan for something that fits you. So when your session day arrives, we’ll have a plan and everything will go smoothly.

WHEN DO I GET TO SEE THE IMAGES?
You will get to see your images in a slideshow set to music during your Viewing  & Ordering Appointment approximately 2 weeks after your session. We will help you with all of your final decisions on images and products that we can custom design just for you. We can show you what your images will look like right on your walls, taking the guesswork out of  making a decision.

CAN I BRING MY KIDS TO THE ORDERING APPOINTMENT?
Children are always welcome, but if you would like a chance to relax and concentrate on the beautiful images and products that we have created for you, then you might want to arrange childcare. Or we can schedule your appointment when your children are in school.

WHAT IF I ONLY WANT A FEW SMALL PRINTS?
Michele Taylor Photography is a full service, high quality studio. I spend an unlimited amount of time on your session from photography to post processing, and then provide you with the highest quality images to choose from. If you want gift prints only, I recommend you invest in digital files so you can print the files how you like up to 8 x 10 in size.

WHY CAN IT BE SO EXPENSIVE?
Quality, custom photography is not for everyone, and takes an enormous amount of time and creative commitment. We are priced in order to continue to offer the premier service we provide to our clients. For example, there are discount stores, department stores and boutiques. We are the ’boutique’ of photography studios with the customer service and product line that comes with this business model.

WHEN DO I GET TO BRING EVERYTHING HOME?
Quality takes time, so please allow up to 4-6 weeks from your order date for completion of your order. Custom designed albums and orders with framing will take longer.
