How do I book a session with you?
You can **book your session online** directly through our website, or reach out to us by phone at **2082512860** or email at **campbellphotography.info@gmail.com**. We'll discuss your specific needs and confirm our availability. Please note that anything over 50 miles from Lopez Island requires a travel fee. Once we've finalized the details, a signed contract and a 50% deposit are required to secure your date.
When can I book a session?
We operate on an "if it's open, you can book" basis! Our calendar fills quickly, especially for peak seasons. We recommend reaching out as soon as you have a date in mind to check our availability. For elopements, booking 6-12 months in advance is common, but don't hesitate to inquire about last-minute openings. For all other sessions (family, maternity, portraits, etc.), you can often book within 1-3 months, or sooner if a spot is available.
How and when will I receive my photos?
Your finished, high-resolution images will be delivered via a private online gallery, accessible through a secure password-protected link.
- For standard sessions (family, portraits, etc.): You can expect your gallery within 3-4 weeks after your session.
- For elopements: Galleries are typically delivered within 3-4 weeks.
Do you provide all the unedited (RAW) files?
No, we do not provide unedited RAW files. As professional photographers, we believe that the editing process is an integral part of our artistic vision and the final product we deliver. Each image you receive will be carefully selected and professionally edited to ensure it meets our quality standards and reflects our signature style.
Do you offer prints, albums, or other products?
Yes! We offer a selection of high-quality professional prints, custom-designed albums, canvases, and other tangible products. You'll have the option to order these directly through your online gallery, ensuring the best quality for your treasured memories. We believe your photos deserve to be displayed beautifully!
What if the weather is bad for our outdoor session?
We closely monitor weather conditions for all outdoor shoots. In the event of severe weather (e.g., heavy rain, extreme temperatures, high winds) that would impact the safety or quality of your session, we will happily work with you to reschedule to another mutually convenient date. There is no rescheduling fee for weather-related changes.
What should I wear for my photoshoot?
We recommend choosing comfortable clothing that reflects your personal style and the overall mood you envision for your photos. Generally, solid colors and subtle patterns work best. We advise avoiding busy logos, neon colors, or anything that might distract from your faces. For family or group sessions, coordinating colors rather than perfectly matching outfits often creates a more cohesive look. We'll provide more detailed guidance and tips specific to your session type during our consultation.
Do you shoot film?
Yes, we do! We offer film photography as an option to add a unique, timeless aesthetic to your session. If you're interested in incorporating film into your photos, please reach out ahead of time for a custom quote and to discuss how we can best integrate it into your vision.
Do you travel for sessions outside of Lopez Island?
Yes, absolutely! While we are based on Lopez Island in the San Juan Islands, and serve clients throughout the San Juan Islands and the greater Seattle area, we are also available for sessions elsewhere. We are passionate about capturing stories wherever they unfold. Travel fees may apply for locations outside of a 50-mile radius. Please inquire for a custom quote based on your desired location.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
A 50% deposit is required to hold your date, and it is non-refundable if you cancel. If we have to cancel for any reason, you receive a full refund.
How many images will I receive?
The number of images delivered depends on the type and duration of your shoot, but we focus on quality over quantity. On average, you can expect anywhere from **30-40 high-resolution edited images for smaller shoots**, and **200-400 images for larger events like other large gatherings**.
