FAQs & Customer Testimonials

How do I book a session with Paisley Perfect Photography?

You can start the process by clicking one of the “lets book a session” buttons here on the website which will take you to my inquiry form to give me a little more info about what you are wanting. You can also message me on Facebook, send me a text or even the old fashion phone call will work too.

What can I expect during my session?

First, expect me to forget your name because, well, its what I do! Most people aren’t 100% comfortable in front of the camera, and I get that. Take a deep breath, relax and let me handle it, I will walk you through posing, and answer any questions like “what do I do with my hands?” I do my best to keep things fun and light with my own cringeworthy bad jokes and silly dances to get those genuine smiles. Kids will be kids and sometimes we have to explore for a few minutes during a session, I will encourage them to explore and snap along the way, capturing both candid “real” moments and posed traditional photos.

What happens after the session?

After the session the hard part for you is done. Well, as long as you can be patient! My turn-around time for regular sessions is 2-3 weeks and for weddings it is 6-8 weeks. Don’t worry, you’ll get a sneak peek on social media (if you want one) before that. Once your gallery is delivered you will be able to see, share and love your images. All sessions come with a set number of digital images, you will be able to pick and download those directly from your gallery.

What if I want prints, extra digital images or other items?

The online gallery you recieve is also an online shop! You will be able to order directly from the gallery and physical products will be sent right to your door. Need some help deciding or feel better if I place the order? Give me a call and we can either walk through it on the phone or set up a meeting to order your items.

What if I don’t want my images on the internet?

Every contract asks permission to use your images on social media, if you select “no” they will never be seen on my pages. I respect all client’s privacy desires in regards to the internet. Your gallery can also be passworded and the only way it can be accessed is through the link I provide to you. If you are still not comfortable with that just let me know ahead of time and we will schedule a meeting to go through your images together.

Does Paisley Perfect Photography travel?

While my studio is located in Lewisburg, Ohio, I also do on location and outdoor sessions all over the Dayton, Ohio area. If you would like an outdoor session we can work together to find the perfect location, sometimes its as easy as your own back yard! I will travel all over the area, from Richmond, Indiana to Kettering, Fairborn, Dayton, Eaton, Greenville, Brookville, Englewood, Springfield and Yellow Springs Ohio. I love to explore new locations with you so please feel free to bring all the ideas! If you are stuck with where to go we can talk it through and find the perfect spot to fit your vision.
