FAQs
How do I book a photoshoot with you?
Booking in with me is super easy! Simply fill out my contact form or drop me an email. I will then get in touch to get you booked on a mutually convenient date. We can also jump on a call or meet for a coffee and a chat if you'd like to discuss your requirements further.
A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking.
Where are you based and how far can you travel?
I based in South Devon, just outside of Exeter.
I cover the whole South West of Enland and am able to travel to locations across the UK if required, please enquire to discuss your location and requirements.
Please note, there is an additional charge of 45p per mile for locaitions 20 miles outside of EX6 7NN.
How much does it cost?
Prices vary depending on the photography required, I aim to be transparent in my prices with no 'hidden extras' you can view my prices and packages here.
If you require a more bespoke quote, please get in touch.
How will I receive the final edited images from my session and how long does it take?
You will receive your photographs via email, with a link to your password-protected online gallery. You’ll be able to download them in high resolution and web size to suit your needs.
You will receive your fully edited images within 2-3 weeks of our shoot date, delivered to you via a private online gallery. I offer an 'express' service at an additional fee if you require your photos back sooner.
Galleries remain live for two weeks from the date of your shoot.
How do I prepare for my session with you?
I will give you as much information and advice in advance of your shoot to help you feel as prepared as possible.
For businesses, I will ask you some questions about your brand, products and ideal customer and we will share mood boards to ensure I understand your vision.
For personal shoots including pet portraits we will discuss locations and your pets' personality, I will also give you some top tips ahead of the day - such as wearing a thin collar / lead where possible, and bringing along some of their favourite treats!
How far in advance do I need to book my photoshoot?
It is best to reach out to book your photoshoot with me around 4-6 weeks in advance.
I can occasionally fit sessions in at shorter notice or may be able to bring your shoot forward in the instance of any cancellations, so please don't hesitate to get in touch!
What if my session is outdoors and the weather is bad?
I always keep a close eye on the weather forecast in the lead up to your shoot, and will let you know if bad weather is forecast. If rain is forecast we may need to reschedule to ensure the best possible experience and result, this will be at no additional charge.
For photography at pre-planned outdoor events that cannot be rearranged, It is likely I can still carry on, but I will make you aware if I think it is likely that the weather will have an impact on the number of shots.
Can i book you for my event?
Yes! I am available for photography at a range of events. I have previously photographed parties, horse shows, open days, sporting events, markets and more. I can either charge an hourly rate or depending on the nature of the event, I can sell my photographs directly to attendees. Drop me a message and let's discuss!
Do you photograph pets other than dogs?
Yes! Absolutely - I specialise in dog photography, however I have previously photographed horses, cats and even cows! I am more than happy to photograph any animal at my standard package rate so please do get in touch with your request.
How do I credit you when sharing my images?
I would love to be credited when you share your images! For social posts please tag me on Instagram @kellymarie.photography_
