Here you can find some answers to some of my more frequently received questions about my business!

 

What can I expect during a session?

While working with my clients, I try to capture the most important, must-have images first, especially if young children are participating.  This ensures everyone is looking their best and most likely to be fresh, clean, and happy!  I am flexible and go with the flow, and we will keep moving to keep all parties motivated and engaged.  Once we’ve taken your must have shots, we can get creative with more candid action photos.  

 

What should I wear?

Wearing clothing that is comfortable to you and that you feel great in will usually photograph the best!  Personally, I would avoid large logos and lettering, or having multiple people wearing large prints in a family session.  Staying within a coordinating color palette without overly matching can be very flattering on most clients.  As you can see from my portfolio, I’m not afraid of color.  You’re welcome to send me outfit options prior to our session!

 

When and how will I receive my photos?

Typically within one week, you will receive a link to your private password-protected online gallery.  From this link, you may download your high-resolution images, share, and print as you’d like.

 

How do you accept payment?

Cash, check, Venmo, and Zelle are current accepted forms of payment.

 

When is payment due?

Payment is due on the date of your session, or prior.  Images will be released once payment has been received in full.  

 

Are your images watermarked?

No.  It’s my personal preference to keep my images clean and free of watermarks.  The last thing you want on your child’s beautiful face is my name!  

 

Are pets welcome to my session?

Yes, absolutely!  Fur babies are family members too!  Give me a heads up and I’ll bring a squeaky toy and a lint roller.

 

Do I have to credit Hilary Bean Photography when I share on social media?

It’s never expected or required, but always appreciated!   

 

I don’t see the type of photo session I’m looking for under your Services page.  Do you offer other types of sessions?

Yes, please reach out to me directly at [email protected] regarding your inquiry for special projects or coverage of special events.
