Do you offer Maternity or Newborn photography?
Yes, I love being able to follow people through all their life phases. I do not include Maternity or Newborn images in my portfolio for privacy reasons.
Do you outsource your editing process?
No, I never send my images to third-party editing companies. While some photographers do this to manage costs, all images are edited and processed by me for data security and to ensure your needs are met without compromising quality or creating additional charges for revisions.
What measures do you take on the day of our event to safeguard against equipment failures?
I shoot with multiple professional-grade camera bodies that have multiple, redundant cards to ensure your memories are protected in the case of a memory card failure. I also bring a mix of lenses that ensure I can capture your memories no matter what. Additionally all your files are stored in at least 3 different locations until they are delivered to you safely.
How long is the typical turnaround time to receive final images?
Turnaround times vary depending on the event being shot, see below:
- Proposal Shoots: 5-10 initial images delivered within 24 hours of the shoot. Final images delivered between 1-2 weeks.
- Engagement Shoots: 5-10 initial images delivered within 24 hours of the shoot. Final images delivered between 2-4 weeks.
- Wedding Shoots: 10-15 initial images delivered within 24 hours of the shoot. Final images delivered between 4-7 weeks.
How are our final images delivered?
All final images are delivered via a USB Drive on the respective timeline. Final images are delivered as JPGs in both High-Resolution (large print quality) and Compressed file sizes (perfect for social media and virtual viewing without using all the memory on your phone, computer, etc.)
What happens if I lose my files or my computer and cannot get my images?
Included in the cost of all shoots is a 7-year guaranteed backup on GelFocus Photography archival hard drives. If for any reason you need your images be redelivered, simply email me at GelFocusPhotography@gmail.com with your request. A $30 fee will be charged.
Do you shoot film-only shoots?
Yes! Upon request, film-shot events are within the services I offer and have a vintage and unique style to them. Due to the nature of developing costs, pricing does fluctuate, please submit an inquiry so I can provide you the best rates possible on a film photo-shoot.
Do you offer packages for Elopements or Minimonies?
Yes I do, because these can vary so greatly in the needs and travel required I work to provide custom pricing to accommodate the unique needs of these ceremonies. Please Submit your inquiry to learn more about how I can tailor a package to your Elopement or Minimony.
