First Steps
1. First, we’ll start off with a conversation to discuss your photographic needs, what you’re looking for and if I’m the right photographer for you. Please use either the Contact link above or the phone number on the Contact page to setup a time to talk (either in person, over the phone or by email). Please include in the message body the type of session and location (either in-studio or on location) so I have an idea of what you’re looking for before we talk. This pre-session consultation is free and has no obligations.
2. Once all your questions are answered and you are ready to proceed, I ask that you pay a $50 deposit (non-refundable) toward the session fee to reserve your spot on the calendar. You may either pay by cash, check or use the Pay Now button below to submit a credit card or Paypal payment. The remainder of the session fee is due prior to the session start time. This is the final step in booking your photo session. *
3. After the photo session you’ll get a web gallery of the best pictures from your shoot (usually 25-50 photos for individuals and more for sports and events). This gallery can be shared with friends and family unless you want it private or password protected. It usually takes 5-7 days to get a gallery online for you to view. At that time you may proof all the photos from the session and choose your favorite photos. The photos you choose as prints will have our standard retouching service applied and then uploaded to the same gallery for your review. At this point you may purchase your choice of print products direct from the gallery web page. Your order will be reviewed by Scott Russell Photography and shipped direct to you. Please keep in mind that the gallery images will be on-line for a period of 10 days following photo touch up. After that time there will be a $20 fee to open the gallery again. **
