Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

How long is each session?

Each session lasts about 25 minutes. We've found that to be the sweet spot—plenty of time to capture a variety of great shots of everyone while keeping things fun, relaxed, and wrapped up before anyone gets too tired.

How many people can I bring to my session?

To keep things running smoothly, we recommend limiting your group to 8 people or fewer. This helps ensure there's enough time to get great photos of everyone without feeling rushed. If your group is larger, we suggest booking two back-to-back sessions so everyone has a chance to shine!

Can I bring props to my session?

Sure! Feel free to bring small, simple props like balloons, signs, or blankets. Just avoid anything large, messy, or disruptive to the public space where your session is being held.

Can I bring pets to my session?

In most cases, yes—pets are welcome and can make your session extra fun! Just double-check that the location allows pets before your session. We also offer pet-specific sessions from time to time.

How long will I have access to my photos?

Your online gallery will be available for 14 days after your photos are delivered. During that time, you can view everything, make selections, and place any orders you'd like. We'll send you reminders before the gallery expires so you don't miss your chance!

If my session is free, why am I asked for a deposit?

The photography session is completely free; there is no charge for the photographer's time or the experience itself. The small deposit just helps ensure that everyone shows up as planned, and it's returned as a credit towards any photo purchases you might make after the session. It's our way of keeping the sessions low-risk for you and sustainable for us.

What are the photo prices like?

After your session, you'll be given the option to purchase any photos that you'd like—whether that's just a single image or the whole set, it's up to you! Digital images range from $8 to $25 each, depending on how many you choose to purchase. Popular bundles include 10, 15, or 20 full-resolution images, or you can grab the entire gallery for just $250. We also offer discounted print bundles, beautiful canvas wraps, and sleek metal prints—perfect for gifts or wall displays. Everything's optional, and it's totally up to you!

Can I get a refund for a photo if I change my mind?

Because digital files can't be returned and we're unable to verify if a photo has already been downloaded or shared, all photo purchases are final and non-refundable. Thanks for understanding!

What if it's bad weather?

Sometimes pesky weather can actually create some of the most beautiful and unique photos! We only cancel sessions if the weather poses a risk to people or equipment. If that happens, we'll offer to reschedule your shoot. That said, if you're concerned about the forecast, you're welcome to cancel or reschedule on your own—just make sure to do so at least 5 days in advance.

What if I'm late?

Since our sessions are scheduled back-to-back, we can't extend your time if you arrive late. You may receive fewer images than usual, but we'll do our best to capture as many great photos and poses as possible with the time we have. We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early for a smooth start.

If I miss my scheduled time, will I get my deposit back?

Unfortunately, no. Your deposit holds your spot, which means no one else can book it. Our photographers still need to be paid for their time, so the deposit is non-refundable in the event of a no-show.

Will I own the copyright to my photos?

The copyright remains with The Photo Fox, but any photos you purchase come with full non-commercial rights. That means you can share, print, and enjoy them however you'd like—just not for resale or commercial use. Unpurchased photos may not be used or distributed.

I don't see all the photos from my session in my gallery—where are the rest?

The gallery includes only the best photos from your session. Any that were excluded were likely removed due to technical or quality issues (like blinks or blurriness).

What if I don't want to buy any of the photos?

That's totally fine! There's no obligation to buy and no minimum order. Just keep in mind that your small initial deposit won't be refunded, even if you decide not to purchase any images.

Will my photos be kept private?

Your online gallery will be password-protected. That said, The Photo Fox and our photographers may post select images from your session on our website or social media. Your images will not be used for advertising beyond those platforms without your permission.

Can I pick my photographer?

We work with a team of talented, hand-picked professional photographers. Once a session is booked, it's made available to our team, and the photographer whose skills and schedule best align with it will take the lead. While you won't choose your photographer directly, rest assured—every member of our team is a vetted pro who will deliver a smooth, professional experience.

What if I want a date or location that you aren't currently offering?
