How many photos will I have to choose from? It depends on the session you choose. With The Mini you will have around 25, with The Fashionista around 100.

How many outfit changes do I get? As many cute outfits as you want to, in fact I encourage you to bring lots of options, including accessories and layers to achieve multiple looks within one outfit.

Are there clothing items, makeup choices, hairstyles to avoid? I am all about you expressing yourself and rocking your personal style! There are however a few things I advise you to stay away from; clothing with big branding, such as Hollister slapped across your chest, heavy makeup (a natural look is always best), a fresh haircut (it is best to cut hair no sooner than three weeks before your session so it sets in), major cleavage revealers (seriously, I can't imagine your parents would be thrilled). Overall I'm pretty relaxed, and I will give on-site advice so rest assured you will look awesome!

When will I get to view my images? Within a few days of your photo shoot I will post a preview on my Facebook page. Your entire collection will be ready within about three weeks, and we will view them together in my studio on the large screen.

Can I post the photos online? With each session I provide a complimentary Facebook CD of images so you can share your photos online with friends. All web images come with a small watermark, please DO NOT crop this out of the photo! Its a great way to give me credit for taking the picture and spread the word. I also ask you to not crop, or edit the image.

Can I print from the Web CD? You cannot print from this disk, the files are sized and formatted for the web only, and it is a violation of copyright laws to print from this disk.

Who retains copyright/reproduction rights to the images? Ashley Porter retains both copyright/reproduction rights to the images under all circumstances. This means I can post online, use for promotion, etc. I do sell a Printing Disks at premium price, and if you purchase this disk, you retain the reproduction rights to print the images up to 8x10 inches.

What's the difference between partial and full edits? A partial edit is the standard edit for proofing, and includes basic adjustments such as tone, white balance, exposure, (brightness/darkness), contrast, and saturation. A full edit is the next step, applied to all prints ordered through Ashley Sturm Photography. This involves basic skin correction, eye brightening, special color toning, and other conversions, vignettes, textures, etc.

Will my printing CD include basic or full edits? Your printing CD will include the basic edit on all the pictures from your session, and in addition you get to select your favorite 25 to receive a full edit.

What is your portrait cancellation policy? With all sessions I require a non-refundable deposit of your entire session fee. In the event that you cancel the session the session fee will not be refunded.

How do I order my prints? About three weeks after your session we schedule a meeting at our downtown studio to view and order the photos. I will assist you to make the best selections, and purchase products that you will love for years to come. Payment is due upon completing the order at our meeting, and I also offer payment plans.

How long have you been in business? I have been working my dream job for 4 years now!

What if I want to place a second order later, will I still be able to? Yes you will, you can always place an order. 30 days after your order meeting your images are archived, and there is a $100 fee to un-archive and post the images in an online gallery for you after that.

How long do you keep my photos after taking them? I always, always have three copies of your images, two on-site and one off-site. You can come to me in 20+ years and they will still be here for you, I don't believe in ever getting rid of my photographs. EVER.
