Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I book a session?
If you would like to book a session, you can e-mail me at erica@ericamayphotography or call 214-801-9355. There is also an e-mail form on the “Email Me” page of my website.
2. What should I wear for my session?
For a group or family session, it is important to coordinate – although you don’t have to necessarily match. Denim always photographs well in color and black and white. For individual portraits, you have a little more freedom with your outfit. For teens and children, it is also fun to bring special props or hats to reflect your child’s personality. For newborn sessions, I recommend a solid color for parents and siblings and either just a diaper or naked for the babies. Please feel free to contact me for any wardrobe advice and check out my blog for Wardrobe Wednesdays (a weekly post about What to Wear to your session).
3. What time of day should we do my session?
You will want to schedule your portraits either in the afternoon/evening time or in the morning when the light is the best. For in-home newborn shoots, we can schedule the session for whatever time your house gets the most natural light usually mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
4. Where should we take our pictures?
Using new and unique locations is one of the things I am known for and I love scouting out new locations. Location consultation is part of your package and I can suggest locations for you based on your pre-session questionnaire. I am certain we will find the perfect location for you whether it is a traditional nature area or a funky urban spot.
5. What happens if my shoot gets rained out?
Since I am a natural-light photographer we must work around the crazy Texas weather! All weather-related cancellations will be automatically rebooked.
6. Do you do weddings?
At this time I am not currently booking weddings. I would love to do your bridal or engagement pictures though!
7. Do you have any specials?
For every person you refer you books and completes a session you earn a $50 print gift card to use for a future session. I also offer 15% off the session fee for returning clients. Occasionally, I have other sales and promotions going on which I post on my blog or Facebook page so be sure to check in on those pages often!
8. I love the music on your website, where can I hear more?
All of the amazing music on my website is used with permission by the very talented Jillian Edwards. You can listen to more and purchase her album on Itunes.
