Do You Ever Photograph Indoors Or In A Studio?

I am open to location suggestions. I currently prefer shooting outdoors whenever possible, the natural light is just so lovely. I also have a private studio with backdrops, lights and props.

What Should I Wear To My Session? 

I recommend choosing outfits that that allow you to feel beautiful and most importantly like yourself. Think of that special dress you have been meaning to wear. Have fun with your outfit choices this is your chance to wear something that makes you feel special. If you need guidance I am here to help and happy to talk further with you about what to wear. I also will be in further contact about shoe choices once a location is picked as often time shoots will involve some mild hiking and various types of terrain. ( we love crocs )

 I Have Never Had Professional Photos Before?

No problem, lots of folks haven't. I am here to help you pose and feel confident in front of the camera, with encouragement and natural movement suggestions.  At any time if anything feels awkward, of your have physical limitations, I am more than understanding and we can move on to what works best. Relax, this day is for you to feel celebrated and you are in good hands. 

How Long Will My Session Take?

This depends on the session you chose. Any where from 30mins -6 hours. Please allow yourself plenty of travel time to locations.  I will be in contact with you before your session. During which time we will discuss location, your goals for the day, and how you envision your final images. My aim is to tailor your session to your unique and individual wishes. 

How Soon After Will I Receive My Images?

After your session I will spend hours working with your images. I will select only the best from your day and then make them available to you online. There are no proof galleries, just magical finished photos delivered right to your email. This can take up to 6 weeks. If you need to them sooner we can discuss the rush service charge.  *** I do not ever provide RAW or unedited images from the sessions. The final images presented to you are chosen from my artistic discretion and are the only images available to you.  I understand that this may not meet the needs of every client and if you are uncomfortable with this I suggest exploring other professionals for your imagery needs. . 

Who Owns The Copyright to my Photos and How Can/Will They Be Used? 

Light Witch /Courtney Brooke Hall Photography owns the full copyright to all the photographs I take. I am sure to use the images to promote my business either in print, on my website, on social media, promotional materials and possibly in public shows or published works. You may use them for anything you'd like, in fact, I hope you do.  However Should the images we create together ever be published (magazine/newspaper/or any line forum such as facebook/twitter/tumblr/instagram/blog/personal website etc) that LightWitch or Courtney Brooke Hall Photography must absolutely be credited.

And I will never use your image inappropriately. 

Can I Bring Someone With Me or Bring A Pet?

This is flexible and can be discussed on a case by case basis before your session. With out prior notification the answer is no. 

What If I Have To Cancel My Session? 

If you must reschedule your reservation payment is good for 6 months and will be held to book another date.  Reservation payments are non-refundable and I encourage you to book another date. 

I understand that life happens, I will always try to make every attempt to re-schedule you as soon as possible.  However due to  respect for my other clients, a maximum of 1 re-scheduled session will be allowed. If A 2nd reschedule is needed you will be charged a new reservation payment and you will be required to pay the session balance in full no later than 2 weeks prior to your next chosen session date.  

Should your session get cancelled due to weather we will work together to re-schedule in the next available slot. 

***Cancelation with less than 24 hour notice with no reschedule for private shoots and one time event shoots will result in the client being billed the balance of the session. I would always prefer that you reschedule when possible and avoid this option. .

PLEASE NOTE: Session Fees, Reservation Payments, boudoir party sessions and any Sale Sessions are NON-REFUNDABLE
