FAQs

How long do sessions last?
We offer two types of sessions. Regular session, which last up to an hour, and mini sessions, which last 20 minutes.
 
Can I book a longer session?
Sure! Just mention it when you're ready to book and we'll see if that's the best option for you!
 
What should we wear / bring to our portrait session?
Solid, neutral colors generally photograph the best. As a rule of thumb, it's best to avoid busy patterns, bold colors or plain black / white shirts / pants. Consider layering clothing (weather permitting).
 
Where do you take photos?
Giraffe Photography is a completely mobile studio. Maybe you've seen my Giraffe-Mobile (as I like to call it), driving around town, or parked at a local park? That's what I do. Go all over the place! Popular locations include, but are not limited to, Vander Veer, Downtown Davenport, Duck Creek Park, Wild Cat Den, and so on! We can even take photos in your home. And I always have the right gear in my vehicle, from lenses to studio lighting to achieve the right look every time!
 
Can we take photos outside the Quad Cities, or at our home?
Sure! That's the best part of being a mobile studio, is all the amazing locations we can create portraits! Many of my regular clients opt to do a different spot each session! It's fun and mixes things up! And, I can even bring my studio lighting and come to your home. This option of course is great for newborn sessions, or family Get-Togethers!
 
Can we bring our pets to our session?
Yep!  
What if rains or the weather is bad?
It happens! It's part of living in the Midwest. In the rare event the weather isn't cooperating, we can find an indoor venue to take portraits, or find another day / time.
 
What is your rescheduling policy?
If for any reason, whatsoever you need to move your session, just call or text me at 309-738-2329. Don't worry, there are no penalties. If you no-show to an appointment, then you'll lose your deposit.
 
What happens after the session?
After your portrait session, your images will be color corrected. Then, I'll send you a link to an online gallery where you can either order a package or download your digital files (if that's the route you selected). Super easy! Plus, I keep a backup of your files online!!
 
What are your payment options?
Check, credit card, PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle. If you prefer to pay with cash, please have the exact amount with tax.
