Q. How do I book a photography session?
You can book your photography session through our online booking system. Simply select the session that best fits your needs, choose an available date and time, and complete the booking process.
A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment.
Q. What time should I arrive for my photography session?
We recommend arriving approximately 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment, ready to be photographed.
Each session has a designated amount of photography time, and we frequently schedule appointments back-to-back. Arriving on time ensures you receive the full experience you booked.
Please avoid arriving excessively early, as we may still be photographing another client or preparing the studio for your session.
Q. What happens if I am late for my session?
We understand that unexpected situations happen! However, arriving late may reduce your photography time, especially when sessions are scheduled back-to-back.
Clients arriving 15 minutes or more after their scheduled appointment may need to reschedule, and a rescheduling fee may apply.
Please contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate being late.
Q. Can I reschedule my photography session?
Yes, we understand that plans sometimes change. Rescheduling is subject to availability and a $25 rescheduling fee.
Please remember that deposits are non-refundable.
Q. Can I change outfits during my photography session?
Outfit changes depend on the session you book. Some sessions include one outfit, while others allow additional outfit changes.
Please review your selected session's description before booking. If you would like additional time for outfit changes, we recommend choosing a session that accommodates your needs.
Q. Can I bring my own props or special items?
Absolutely! We love incorporating meaningful items that help tell your story.
Whether it's a birthday accessory, graduation memorabilia, or something sentimental, please let us know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly.
Q. Do I need to bring a list of pictures or poses I would like?
You are welcome to share inspiration photos, specific poses, or creative ideas before your session!
While we provide posing guidance throughout your experience, we also love hearing your ideas. Inspiration photos help us understand your vision, although the final images will reflect our photography style and available studio setup.
Q. Can I customize my photography session?
We understand that every photography experience is different. If our current session options do not meet your needs, please contact us to discuss what you have in mind.
Custom sessions may be available depending on your vision, scheduling, and photography requirements.
Q. Do you charge for travel?
Travel fees may apply to photography sessions located more than 30 miles from our Bossier City studio.
Any applicable travel fees will be discussed before your booking is finalized.
Q. How will I receive my pictures?
All digital images are delivered through an online photography gallery.
Depending on your session, you may receive a proofing gallery where you can select your favorite images before final delivery.
Once your images are ready, you will receive an email with instructions for accessing and downloading your high-resolution digital photographs.
Q. Can I purchase additional digital images?
Additional digital images may be available for purchase, depending on your session package.
Please review your session details or contact us for information about additional images.
Q. Do you offer photography sessions for children with special needs?
Yes! Our Every Child, Every Moment experience is designed to provide a more flexible, individualized photography experience for children who may benefit from additional time, patience, and accommodations.
These sessions are offered in our studio and are separate from our traditional mini sessions.
We encourage parents and caregivers to share their child's needs and preferences before the session so we can create a more comfortable experience.
Q. Do you offer mini sessions throughout the year?
Yes! Figaro Photography offers seasonal and specialty mini sessions throughout the year, including holiday portraits, graduation, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and other special occasions.
Mini sessions have designated dates, time limits, and package details. Follow our social media pages and visit our booking website for upcoming opportunities.
Q. Can I bring my pet to my photography session?
Please contact us before booking a session that includes pets. Pet participation must be approved in advance, and clients are responsible for safely handling and supervising their animals throughout the session.
Q. What if I have additional questions before booking?
We are happy to help! If you have questions about a session, studio accommodations, or anything else related to your photography experience, please reach out before booking.
Q. Can I get dressed or get ready at the studio before my photography session?
Yes! We offer a Get Ready at the Studio add-on for an additional $25. This option provides up to 15 minutes of time before your scheduled photography session to get dressed and make any final preparations.
This add-on must be selected when booking your session to ensure adequate time is reserved.
If you do not purchase this add-on, please arrive fully dressed and photo-ready at your scheduled appointment time.
Please note that getting ready is not included in your photography session time, and arriving early does not guarantee access to the studio before your appointment.
We want you to feel informed, prepared, and excited about your session with Figaro Photography!
