Popular Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between "Photo Editing" & "Photo Retouching"?
All of the images you receive in your digital gallery are "edited" as part of the session package. Editing includes color correction, white balance, exposure correction, highlights, shadows, contrast, & much more. Those beautiful tones that really bring your photo to life.
RETOUCHING
Photo retouching is another form of polishing an image for final presentation. Retouching, unlike editing, required additional transforming or altering of a photograph using various skills and technique to maintain realism.
Examples of retouching in portraits:
Skin smoothing
Pimple, Scar, Cellulite removal
Stain from shirt
Removal of bra strap

What are your travel rates?
The first 30 min of travel are free of charge. Per every other 30 min spent on the road I charge a $50 flat rate. I'm based out of Lake Charles, Louisiana for distance reference.
Where will we shoot?
Ask me about my favorite locations after booking. I like to keep my locations private to ensure that my clients receive a custom experience with me. I’ve created a Gracie Days Guide to help each client feel prepared prior to our session. You will receive this after booking. It covers outfits, locations, tips, & all of my favorite recommendations.
When do I recieve my final photos?
YOUR FINISHED PHOTOS WILL BE READY & DELIVERED 3 WEEKS FROM YOUR SESSION DATE FOR DOWNLOAD VIA ONLINE GALLERY WITH YOUR GIFT SIZE PRINTS.
(THEY WILL BE ONLINE FOR 5 YEARS, UNLESS ANOTHER SESSION IS BOOKED)
What if I need to reschedule? What about bad weather?
A 2-3 week advanced notice is needed prior to rescheduling your session in order to put someone else in your spot. If you feel any signs of the flu please contact me asap. Also if you are planning a vacay/trip please let me know so I can put you in the best month possible.
I keep a consistent eye on the weather & give everyone a back up date for these situations. A 60% chance of rain or more, or wind at 15 mph & higher often lead to a rescheduled session, In some cases we will drive out an hour or so to avoid bad weather.
