YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT FACEBOOK?

Social Media is such an awesome place to share photos!  Please feel free to use any photos I put on Facebook [I’ll tag you] for your profile picture or wall.  You can also use any of the web rez files that you receive at your ordering appt.  I just ask that you don’t crop out our watermark/copyright & if you don’t mind trading us that would be great, Thanks!

At this time, we ask that you schedule your visit.  We operate by appointment only allowing us the ability to offer a boutique customer experience to every one of our clients.

In our editing process we ensure that we have multiple copies of your images at all time. We’ll also store your images for a minimum of 90 days – 1 year (depending on the type of session), but please make sure you store them in a save place as well so you don’t lose them.  Printing the final images is of course the best way to preserve them, but we also recommend multiple copies in safe places.

We want to keep it simple for you, so for most sessions there are no travel fees.  In most cases for wedding packages travel costs are included, for smaller session we normally charge travel fee if our travel time exceeds 70 miles (one way).  We will make sure that if there is a cost due to traveling, that we point it out right away so you consider it in your budgeting.

We do offer a variety of promotions!  We are happy to go over the details of any available promotions, just give us a call.

We arrange all of our meetings in person (especially for weddings) at our studio.  If it isn’t possible due to scheduling or distance we love to video chat with you.

As soon as we have decided on a date and time for your session/ event give us a call (513) 492-2470, and we will get you scheduled.  Then all you have to do is pay the deposit and you will be officially booked.

We love candid moments and real emotion between the wonderful people we get the opportunity to photograph.  In our session we focus on interactions and try to give you as much space as possible, but of course guide you if necessary.  Standing in front of the camera is not an everyday occurrence, so we want you to be as comfortable as possible.

It really depends on the time of year.  If you are wanting to book in the Summer months, I’d schedule something as soon as possible since those dates book in advance and very quickly… Weekends especially!

Non-ordered images are removed from our system the next morning following your session viewing.  We do not keep or archive any files which are not ordered at your viewing appointment.

All ordered images are archived for a period of 90 days to 1 year from the date of the viewing appointment.  The total amount of time that we archive the images is based on the collection purchased.

Wedding images are archived for 1 year from the date of your wedding.

Office Hours:  Monday-Friday 9am-5pm

These are the hours we use for email, phone calls and scheduling.  We reserve all other hours for viewings and photographing clients who have scheduled sessions or events.

We have appointment times from 5pm-8pm available along with some Saturday availability, call (513) 492-2470 for details.

We understand that sometimes life’s unexpected events arise that prevent us from keeping our original scheduled appointments (such as illness, travel, or other emergency situations).  If this happens, we ask that you email (info@showalterphotography.com) or call (513.492.2470) us 48 hours prior to the scheduled date in order for us to be able to reschedule your appointment.

 We are able to provide a one-time reschedule if you notify us a minimum of 48 hours prior to your appointment.  Additional reschedules will require a fee of $150 per occurrence, and are subject to schedule availability.

Your session fee is non-refundable; however, you may apply it towards your rescheduled date if completed within 6 months of the original session date.

It is our practice to arrive early to our shoots, as we like to scope out the surroundings and get our creative minds going.  If for some reason we are late we will do our best to extend the time or if the time is substantial and the shoot is unsuccessful we will reschedule the shoot or refund all or part of the money.  If a client is late we will do our best in the time that is remaining to get everything we need, but we cannot extend the session time for this reason.

Our portrait sessions are scheduled with adequate amounts of time to deal with be slightly late, however we always recommend that you try to show up fifteen minutes early.  We do this so people can be relaxed and enjoy the session without the need to be stressed about the time.

In the case that your flash drive or DVD becomes damaged or lost, it can be replaced at a $50 per copy charge. However, we highly recommend that you make backups of your images so you can preserve them for years to come.

On the morning of your session, we will contact you if the weather is bad (raining or heavy winds). We will simply reschedule to another day and hope that the weather cooperates.

For weddings the deposit to confirm your booking is 30 percent of the full package price (for bookings over 12 months in advance 50 percent).  The remainder is due four weeks before the wedding/event takes place.

For portrait sessions the deposit is $100.00 due at the time of your booking.  The remainder is due one week before the scheduled session date.  This way we can don’t have to think about the remaining balance anymore and can fully concentrate on the session.

If your selected collection includes digital files, you will receive reproduction rights to all of the images.  This gives you the right to reproduce the images for personal use.  You can use them for prints or sharing them on your social media.  Commercial use is not allowed if not separately agreed on.  The copyright of the images will with Showalter Photography.

We shoot with professional Canon cameras, utilize a variety of creative lenses as well as external lighting.  We always make sure to bring backup equipment in case something should fail to work as expected.  If you are interested in more details please let us know, but we rather recommend to look at our work and see if you like the results.

We go thoroughly through all the images we take during a session/ event and will take out the obviously unusable ones in a first step.  We also reduce the number of duplicates so you can enjoy only the best of the best images.

You will be provided with the edited images only.  Each picture is carefully handled and will be a representation of our work.  Be sure to look at our portfolio and that our work and style are a good match for you.
