FAQ
📸 Booking & Availability
How do we book a session?
There are a few easy ways to book with us! You can fill out our contact form, and we’ll reach out to get things started, browse our services and click any of the “Pre-Booking” or “Book Your Consultation” links, email us at flickerandflamephotography@gmail.com, or even slide into our DMs on social media. However, you reach us, we’ll be in touch as soon as we can.
Where are you located? Do you travel?
We don’t have a permanent studio (yet!), but we’re based in NYC and travel throughout the 5 boroughs. In addition, we travel throughout Westchester County. Have a space of your own? We’re happy to come to you! Travel fees may apply depending on location—just reach out and we’ll figure it out together.
What types of sessions do you offer?
We offer Monthly Minis, Private 1-hour or 2-hour sessions, and Collaboratively Designed Dream Shoots.
Monthly Minis are price-conscious and offered at a set rate, while private sessions allow more time for outfit changes and creative exploration. Dream Shoots are exactly that—your vision, fully brought to life. We go all in to create something truly timeless.
Pricing & Payment
Is a deposit required?
Yes! A signed contract and retainer are required to secure your session. Monthly Minis require a $50 retainer, while all other sessions require a 50% retainer, which goes toward your total balance. All details will be reviewed during your consultation.
When is the remaining balance due?
The remaining balance is due 48 hours before your scheduled session so we can focus fully on creating magic on shoot day. If payment isn’t received by the deadline, the session may be canceled and the retainer forfeited.
What payment methods do you accept?
We currently accept payment through approved banking and peer-to-peer apps (Zelle, Venmo, CashApp). Accepted methods will be shared during booking.
Rescheduling & Cancellations
What happens if we need to reschedule?
Clients may request one (1) reschedule with at least 72 hours’ notice, based on availability. Any additional reschedule requests may incur a rescheduling fee.
For Monthly Mini Sessions, themes and sets change each month and cannot be duplicated. If you reschedule a mini session to a future month, your session will take place using that month’s available theme and set design.
What if we’re late?
We get it—life happens! If you arrive late, your session may be shortened so we can stay on schedule. Session time cannot be extended, and pricing will not be adjusted due to late arrival.
Mini sessions run back-to-back, so late arrivals will receive the remaining time only. We’re unable to extend mini sessions or offer refunds for late arrivals.
What happens if the photographer needs to reschedule?
If Flicker and Flame Photography need to cancel or reschedule due to illness, emergency, or unforeseen circumstances, you’ll be offered a new date or a refund of all payments made (excluding completed services).
Are deposits refundable?
Retainers are non-refundable, as they secure your session date and cover planning and preparation. We understand that unexpected things happen, and in rare extenuating circumstances, we may allow your retainer to be applied to a future session at our discretion. Refunds are not guaranteed.
Preparing for Your Session
What should we wear? Should we do hair and makeup?
Wear what makes you feel like you. That outfit you’ve been saving? This is the moment. Hair and makeup are always encouraged unless you’re going for a more natural vibe. We’ll go over styling during your consultation, so we’re fully aligned on the vision.
Can you help with styling?
Absolutely. We’re happy to guide you during your consultation, and for longer sessions, professional styling can be added for an additional cost. Just ask!
What if we feel awkward or camera-shy?
Totally normal—and honestly, most people feel this way at first. We’ll guide you through movements and prompts, so nothing feels stiff or forced. You don’t need modeling experience—just show up as yourself. We’ll take care of the rest (and gently push you out of your comfort zone if you’re open to it).
Can we bring props or personal items?
Yes! We love meaningful details. Just be sure to run them by us first since some studios have restrictions. We’ll also help figure out how to incorporate them naturally into your session.
Galleries, Editing & Delivery
When will we receive our gallery?
Monthly Minis have a set delivery date, and galleries are delivered on or before that date. For all other sessions, galleries are delivered within two weeks.
Do you retouch photos?
Yes! Our editing style focuses on keeping you looking like your most authentic self. We don’t over-edit, but if you have specific requests, just let us know—we’re happy to accommodate when possible.
How will we receive our images?
We deliver galleries through Pic-Time. You’ll receive an email with a private link and password, where you can view, download, and share your images easily.
A Few Extra Things You Might Be Wondering
Can we share our photos online?
Yes, please do! You’re welcome to share and print your images for personal use. If you post on social media, tagging @flicker.and.flame.photography is always appreciated.
Do you offer prints or albums?
We do! Professional prints and products are available directly through your gallery.
