FAQ & policies
The things families ask me most — answered the same way I'd answer you in person. Still curious? Email me at cestlaviephotos@gmail.com or send a message.
How do I book a session?
Right here on this site — pick your session, pick a day and time, and send your request. I'll reach out personally to confirm it. You can also message me on Facebook or email me at cestlaviephotos@gmail.com.
What's included with my session?
Every session includes professionally edited pictures emailed to you with printing rights, so you can print and share them anywhere you like. Each session page lists exactly how many poses and how much time you get.
Where are you located?
I'm in Carthage, Missouri — you'll find me at 307 S. Main St. Most sessions are shot out on location wherever the light and the scenery are best for your family.
How does payment work?
Your full session fee is due at booking to hold your date, and it's non-refundable. For weddings, message me and we'll talk through pricing and a plan for your day.
What if the weather turns bad?
If torrential weather rolls in, we'll reschedule at my discretion. Anything short of that, we shoot — some of my favorite photos ever were made on cloudy, cozy days.
Can we take our own photos during the session?
Please leave personal cameras and recording equipment at home during your session. It helps everyone relax and lets me catch the real, candid moments you're coming to me for.
How do I book a wedding?
Weddings are priced per day, so message me or send a booking request here and tell me about your date and your plans. I'll get back with pricing and availability — and the sooner the better, because wedding dates fill fast.
When do I get my pictures?
Your finished, professionally edited pictures are emailed right to you. I'll give you a timeframe when we confirm your session, and I always aim to get your memories back to you as fast as I can without rushing the editing.
