A little business update 🤍
As Rustic Roots Photography continues to grow, I’m making a few changes to help provide the best possible experience for every client.
Beginning immediately, all portrait sessions will require a signed session agreement and a 50% non-refundable retainer at the time of booking in order to reserve your date.
Over the past year, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to photograph so many wonderful families, couples, seniors, and little ones. As my calendar continues to fill, I’ve also experienced the occasional last-minute cancellation, no-show, late arrival, or date being held for someone who ultimately decided not to book. While I completely understand that life happens, those situations often mean turning away other families who were hoping for that same date and time.
This new booking process helps ensure that every session on my calendar is reserved for clients who are committed, while also protecting the time, preparation, and planning that goes into every session.
The session agreement also allows me to clearly communicate policies regarding scheduling, weather, image delivery, editing expectations, and payment so everyone knows exactly what to expect before your session. My goal is to make the entire experience as smooth, transparent, and enjoyable as possible from start to finish.
If you’ve booked with me before, don’t worry—the heart behind Rustic Roots Photography hasn’t changed one bit. You’ll still receive the same personalized experience, the same attention to detail, and the same passion for capturing genuine moments you’ll treasure for years to come.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for trusting me with your memories and for supporting this little dream of mine. Every booking, every recommendation, every kind word, and every family who steps in front of my camera means more than you’ll ever know.
I can’t wait to continue telling your stories. 🤍🌿
