That's a great question and one I am passionate about answering. In my experience, 15 minute and 30 minute shoots are not enough time to warm up and feel comfortable in the setting and sometimes awkward photographic atmosphere surrounding a photoshoot. Since Judith Rackow Photography LLC runs independent of a brick and mortar studio, locations are the 'studio set' and sometimes require time to travel to or between. Having shoots that last longer allows for ample amount of time for ease and comfort as well as a buffer for travel time.

There are a couple different ways that's possible. 1. On this site itself under the 'Book Online' tab next to 'Investment'. 2. By filling out the Contact form located in the 'Tell Me More' tab. 3. By emailing me at judithrackowphotography@gmail.com 4. By direct message on Instagram @judithrackowphotographyllc 5. By private message on Facebook at Judith Rackow Photography LLC

Due to the current circumstances of inflation and gas prices increasingly steadily, I have had to implement a $1.50/mile travel compensation for all sessions/weddings/events. This is reflected on every invoice and is subject to change with the current times. I appreciate your cooperation and understanding in these difficult economic times and apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.

Judith Rackow Photography LLC currently operates independent of a brick and mortar studio and thus requires clients to book and name a location and intended time of meeting. Plus photoshoots on location are so much more fun!

It often happens that clients want to add something more to their shoot after thinking about what needs they have in a photoshoot. If you find yourself needing more time or a change in scenery or clothing, or even adding someone new to the scene, you will be billed for those following the conclusion of the shoot. Clothing/location change - $55 Additional 30 minute add-on (during Full Sessions Only) - $50 Additional person (during Full Sessions Only) - $45

The answer is and will always be yes! (Please have a backup plan in case things get a little too crazy with your furry friend.)

You must provide at least 48 hours notice before changing or rescheduling. Any changes made closer to the session/photoshoot than 48 hours will result in a $55 charge per change. ($55 per time change/location change/date change)

Clientele are allowed one major change (time, date, location) to their session or event. Any additional changes will incur a $50 fee per change if done closer than 48 hours to the shoot.

1. Usually when planning for a shoot, wear things that are comfortable but make you feel good. 2. Bring a comfortable pair of shoes if you are intending to wear heels or dress shoes in case traveling from one location to another occurs or general discomfort. 3. Avoid anything too close to your own skin tone. 4. Layers can be a great help!

I provide a booklet with a list of items I recommend all session/event attendees to have with them in order to minimize the preparedness stress the day of. Didn't get it? Simply request one when you book and you will have all you need to walk into our session ready to go!

Generally full galleries are uploaded and returned to clients 6-8 weeks following their initial session/event with sneak peeks returned by 14 days following the initial session/event. This time may be less and with communication, occasionally longer. Thank You so much for your understanding!

Of course! Every session or event booking automatically allows you to have images watermark free and high resolution, perfect for sharing and posting! I ask that if you choose to post, to mention my instagram // @jrphotographyllc // or Facebook page // Judith Rackow Photography LLC // and as always, feel free to leave a review on Google!
