FAQ

WHAT TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHY DO YOU OFFER?

We offer a wide range of photography services, including wedding photography, portrait photography, family photography, and event photography. We specialize in capturing meaningful moments and creating stunning visual stories.

WHAT IS YOUR EDITING STYLE?

Lifestyle Photography
My favorite style! This style fits me best for posing! The photographer is chasing moments as they unfold. The location is dreamy, scouted for, and not random. What the artist captures are candid, raw moments. Kisses, snuggles, laughter, and everything in between. There is no forced posing just simple direction with prompt. Kids can run free and moments just happen. These are the sessions that speak to my soul. These are the family moments my heart craves for as years go by. The lifestyle portraits are real and meaningful.

Fine Art Photography
This fits my editing style! These portraits are pieces of art. They look like a painting for 2 main reasons: first, the locations are handpicked by the artist. Second, the post-processing and retouching gives it a classic look and feel that is unique, the photos are 'modern paintings'.

Real Art Photography
Now combine the two!
You won't find this term in the encyclopedia, yet that's what best describes Curly Kay Photography. For me, it means Fine Art inspired by candid moments. It's portraits with a purpose, capturing candid and emotive memories, regardless of whether it's a maternity photoshoot, family photo session, or newborn photo session. It's Lifestyle photography combined with Fine Art. It's taking candid moments and transforming them into pieces of art that your soul will crave for years from now as you walk through memory lane

ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT EACH PHOTOGRAPHERS STYLE IS, CHOOSING A PHOTOGRAPHER IN A SEA OF MANY BECOMES A LOT EASIER.

HOW DO I BOOK A PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION WITH YOU?

Booking a photography session is easy. Simply select the link at the top of the page that reads "Ready to Book". If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I'll guide you through the process, discuss your requirements, and find a convenient date and time for your session.

HOW DO I PAY?

A 50% non refundable retainer is required to get your date locked on the calendar. The remainder of the balance is due at least 2 days before your session date.
Weddings require a 25% down payment and the remainder of the balance is due a minimum of 30 days prior to your wedding date.

You have the option to pay through any of the following:

Venmo @Curlykayphotography

Zelle 5303157298

Pay Pal @curlykayphotography

Cash App $Curlykayphotography

I also accept cash but this is due the day of your session and before your session begins. Help me avoid the awkwardness of having to ask for money due.

HOW MUCH DO YOU EDIT PHOTOS?

Post processing takes time. After culling the photos from your day I try to keep an artistic standard. I color correct photos and straiten when necessary. I also edit the color profiles and curves to match the vibes of your day. Most of my editing work is inspired by a vibrant but true to life feel. When it comes to changing ones appearance I do light body modification if needed, remove blemishes, acne, even skin tones and soften skin. My edits change per session but always remain true.

WHEN WILL WE SEE OUR PHOTOS?

This highly depends on your session type, but turnaround time is typically 2 weeks for less invasive photoshoots.

DO I NEED TO ORDER PRINTS THROUGH YOU?

I highly recommend that you order prints through me, but it is not required. The difference in quality is huge when it comes to ordering through a professional lab, so I encourage clients to let me help with prints! I also offer a cheaper alternative and that is to print through your gallery. There are additional charges if using my professional lab.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

I am a Canon lover! I also bring along off camera flash to give your images a creative edge.

WILL MY PHOTOS BE POSTED PUBLICLY?

I love to brag about my awesome clients, but if you would rather not have me share your pictures I totally understand! Please let me know this ahead of time. I do like to share recent work on my website and social media for sneak peaks and just to keep things up to date.
