I'M HAPPY TO CHAT WITH YOU AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE!

How do I book a session?


First reach out via the Get In Touch Tab by filling out the questionnaire attached. Give me as much info as you can about what you're looking for to reduce the amount of back and forth. We’ll discuss your needs and tailor your session to YOU. After all this is your story, no one elses! Then, you’ll receive a contract and invoice to confirm your booking. Once the retainer is received, your session is officially booked. I’ll then send my Style Guide and Pinterest Board for inspiration. YAY! You can message me with any questions you have! I'm happily here for you (:

Do you have a portfolio or samples of your work?

Yes, of course! I encourage you to look at my work, to make sure you love my style. You can view samples of my work in the Gallery tab of my website. Here you’ll find examples of various types of sessions I’ve done, showcasing my style and capabilities. Feel free to browse to get a sense of what to expect from your own session. You can see more on Instagram and Facebook @JelenaRowdenPhotography

Can i request specific poses or shots?


Absolutely! YES! I am working FOR YOU; WITH YOU! Feel free to provide a list of specific poses or shots you’d like. I’m beyond happy to accommodate your requests to the best of my ability to ensure you get the photos you envision!

HOW MUCH ARE ADDITIONAL IMAGES

Additional images are available for $15 each, and each purchased image includes a corresponding black and white version. If you’d like to purchase the entire gallery after selecting your included images, you can get it for 50% off the total price. The full gallery typically ranges from 20 to 40 images, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for you. If you book a longer session, you're more likely to get more detailed shots, and more variations and poses. After I send your gallery to you, you will select your images, reach back out to me and let me know if you'd like any additional. I will send you an invoice for any additional. Once that is paid, I will resend your gallery with all your favorites!



HOW WILL you RECeiVE your PHOTOS?

After your photos are edited, an online gallery will be created where you can view, download, and share your photos. This gallery will be sent to you via email with a link and include a PIN. Only the email provided will be able to access the gallery. Your images can be downloaded in web size (socials) and high-resolution (printing) format.


HOW DO I BACK UP YOUR PHOTOS?

My camera allows me to use two cards for every shoot to reduce the risk of corruption of your photo and video files. I have extras of all of my gear, as well in case of a gear malfunction. I backup onto one cloud service and one external hard drive after each session to ensure the safety of your photos and videos while they wait to be edited. Once edited and sent, I keep RAWS for 2 months, then delete them. All edits and corrections will need to be requested prior to this per the contract.

What equipment do i use?

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! I use professional-grade equipment to ensure high-quality results. This includes:

  • Cameras: My main camera is a Canon R6 Mark II. Back up camera is a Canon R7.
  • Lenses: Canon rf 28-70 2.0f

Canon rf 100-500 4.5-7.1f

  • Lighting: Godox v1 Pro and a soft box if needed.
  • Other Gear: Tripod, soft box, gimbal, DJI drone and more! So much more!

This equipment allows me to capture sharp, vibrant, and well-composed images.


Will our session happen rain or shine?

Let's face it, Washington is bipolar! I really wish I could control the weather, but unfortunately, I can't! I do my best to keep sessions on schedule, even in less-than-ideal conditions like light rain, a breeze, or a dusting of snow. However, if the weather takes a turn for the worse; I’ll gladly reschedule at no extra charge.
