FAQ

  • What time and day can we book with you?

    I only book sessions on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I offer Sunday sessions once a month. We will make sure to find the right day for you and your family. Sessions are recommended to be booked during sunset or 2 hours before to provide the best images in beautiful lighting.

  • Do you offer mini sessions?

    I do! Once a year, typically in the fall, I offer 15-minute sessions and you receive 10 images.
    You can sign up for my newsletter (seethingscloser.com/newsletter)
    to be one of the first to find out those dates when I announce them.

    However, in the Spring of 2021, I started offering mini sessions year-round for families who have children in their care through foster care. This was inspired by two clients who love to capture their family with each child that comes through their home.

  • Can we see a full portrait session gallery?

    Absolutely! If you are interested in seeing a full gallery, just send me an email and I will send you a few examples.

  • When do we receive our photos after our session?

    You will receive an online gallery link with your images within 21 days. You receive all digital photos from your session and can download your photos from the online gallery delivered through Pic-Time.

  • Do you have a rain plan?

    I will work with you to reschedule your session due to rain, snow, or any other weather situation that might prevent us from having our session if it is outdoors. We can also choose a second date to have as a backup plan for rain at booking.

  • Are you registered and insured?

    YES! My camera is registered in addition to having insurance through The Hartford.

  • Can we change outfits during our session?

    Yes! You are more than welcome to change outfits for your session. Most family sessions don't change but you are welcome to within our hour. We only have time for one outfit during a mini session.

  • What gear do you use?

    I'm a Canon girl through and through. Canon R6 for the body and 50mm 1.4 and 35mm 1.4. for lenses. I love a fixed-length lens and how it forces me to get creative with angles!

  • Do you travel?

    Yes! I would love to travel to capture your special moments. Let's chat!

  • Do you recommend locations for our session?

    Once your session is booked, I will work with you to find the best location that will suit your session and represent your family or personality best! You can choose from the list I provide at booking or we can brainstorm other areas not listed. St. Louis has some amazing hidden gems to discover!

  • Can we post our photos online?

    Please do! You are welcome to post or print any of the photos from your session. I just ask that when posting, you either tag @seethingscloser or credit me in the caption so others can find my work.

  • I have a question not listed here, how can I reach you?

    If you have any other questions I didn’t cover in this list, please don't hesitate to reach out! My email is brookejvg@gmail.com. I look forward to connecting!
