I have a variety of packages to choose from depending on your needs. Visit the investment tab for more info. If you don’t see what you’re looking for email me: shanamariephoto@gmail.com

The purpose of the deposit is to lock in your date and time. If you cancel last minute, it is likely I could have booked another session during that time. I do not block off my calendar until the deposit has been paid. I require a 50% deposit.

The remainder of your session is due immediately after your shoot before we depart. Images will not be released until full payment has been made.

Shoot lengths depend on the package you select. You can view the options on the investment tab by hovering over a package's photo.

I advise you to wear something you feel comfortable and confident in. If taking group, couple, or family pictures I suggest not being "matchy-matchy,” but wearing clothes that are in the same color scheme and coordinate well. Pictures will look the best with different textures and designs. If you like patterns and depending on your group size, I recommend only having one bold design so patterns don't clash. I'm always happy to help with picking outfits! If time allows, I also encourage you to bring another outfit and props.

I have locations in mind around the Dallas area, but if you have a specific spot in mind I would love to know! When you fill out the contact form you’ll be prompted to list the location(s) or vibe you’re interested in and we can go from there.

Note: travel fees may apply to anywhere located 30 miles outside 75077.

Yes! I love it when a friend, spouse, or family member tags along. It makes the experience all the more fun!

If the weather is bad/sickness/act of god/etc. I will put your deposit toward a reschedule. However, if you simply do not show up to the session, the deposit will not be refunded.

Within 48 hours of your shoot, preview photos will be shared on my Instagram story, tagging your account. You are more than welcome/encouraged to reshare them to your own story! Please notify me if you wish to receive your previews in another manner.

Then within 2 weeks of your session you will be emailed a link to an online gallery of edited watermarked images. You will be provided a pin code that will allow you to download the images un-watermarked and at full resolution. Feel free to share the pin code with friends and loved ones If you'd like them to download the images too. I use a pin code to keep your images protected.

Note: I cannot guarantee access to your online gallery will be available long-term. I highly recommend you save the images to your cloud service or hard drive asap!

No, because part of my job is image selecting and choosing the most flattering photographs. The images I do not deliver are either repeats, blurry, or out of focus, shots of you blinking or mid-sentence speaking. I have no reason to withhold any images if there are additional ones I think you would enjoy! I am on your side.

No. A large part of my job is to cull and edit your images. Applying your own edit or filter on top of my edit is also not okay. My brand is tied into how my images look and by doing either of these actions you are simply disrespecting me and my business. You are hiring a photographer for their professional services, so let me service you. (:

To a degree, I will remove blemishes, whiten teeth, enhance lip colors, etc. but I will not change your overall appearance. If there is a distracting object in the background I do my best while on the shoot to remove these before taking an image. Otherwise, I will remove it while editing, but doing so is up to my discretion.

I do my best to set clear communication and expectations from the beginning. If you have read through the faqs and thoroughly prepared yourself for the shoot, including picking a location you like, an outfit you’re confident in, bringing props, then this is the best way to ensure you will love the final images. If I have delivered what I promised to you for the photography services of your package of choice, and you are not happy with the outcome there is nothing I can do outside of performing my professional photography services.

No. I have a specific way I present my brand online and it is up to my discretion on how I choose to share the images.

Please let me know upfront that this is a concern for you and the reason. I heavily rely on the internet to market my services and bring in customers, and a large part of that is sharing my work. Therefore, there is a fee involved if this is something you want to be waived. Please inquire in the initial contact email.

Yes, of course! In fact, I WOULD LOVE IT!! I only ask that you please credit/tag my business in your post. My Facebook page and Instagram are the best ways to tag me. My business runs on word of mouth, so posting on social media is incredibly helpful and makes me so happy that you are excited about your photos!
