How do I book a session? 
If you have perused my website and love what you see, simply call or contact me through my online form
After chatting about your questions, your invoice will then be emailed to you. Once your session fee invoice is paid, your session date is reserved just for you.

When should I book my session? 
Please try to book your session at least 1 month in advance. My busy season is May through October. If you would like a session during that time, please contact me as soon as possible. Sessions are on a first come, first serve basis. Sadly, I am not able to book all session requests because my sessions sell out.

Do you travel outside of Connecticut? 
Yes. Additional travel rates apply. Please contact mefor details. 

Do you sell the digital images? 
I do sell digital images from your gallery for personal printing. This is priced separate from the session fee. All prints, images, and other products are sold separately after you have had time to preview your gallery. Many new photographers simply sell the digital images but what I love to offer are the heirloom quality products such as large prints, framed artwork and luxury albums. Most of my clients are primarily interested in heirloom artwork.

I know your specialty is on-location outdoor photography, what do you do if the weather forecast looks bad?
We will be in contact two days before your session to talk about any last minute details and the weather. I look at the hourly forecast on accuweather.com to see what our chances are of going ahead with the session. If the weather is questionable, I will contact you to reschedule at your earliest convenience or possibly just arrange our session for the same day but for a block of time that looks clear. I tend to think positive and move ahead with sessions. I've learned in my years of scheduling experience to make the right call and work with all types of natural lighting.


What is the goal of the session, what will I get as a result?
The goal is to spend the session time capturing you at your very best so that you have stunning images in your gallery, each a work of art. Not only for one picture to frame and submit to the yearbook, but a variety of images that represent your personality for an album or wall gallery as a keepsake of this thrilling time of life. This means we have spent time selecting the location that compliments your personality, you have selected clothing and accessories that you will love to look back on and remember as your ideal style one day. I will take lots of pictures of you and with my keen eye pick out the very best ones for you to see. It may feel like you are in a magazine photo shoot because it’s not your typical “sit here turn your head just so” school portrait. We’ll do a variety of poses, head shots, you sitting, laying down, standing or twirling. We’ll meet somewhere really picturesque, possibly a field, park, beach or a more urban area with walls and doors as a cool textured background. We’ll chat and laugh and you’ll feel silly pretending to be a model but that is okay because I am used to people feeling silly around me, it’s all in a day’s fun.


Do you have samples of your cards, albums, and collages?
Sure do! I can’t wait to show you the beautiful albums and collages I have available. If you haven't emailed me yet about scheduling a session, please email me at denise@denisegammellphotography.com
