🎉 What is an event photo session?
An event photo session is when we provide on-site photography coverage for your special event. This includes a mix of posed portraits, candid moments, and environmental shots that showcase the energy and emotion of the day.
We cover a wide range of events, such as:
Community gatherings
Festivals and rallies
Birthday parties
School and youth programs
Concerts and performances
Award shows, weddings, and more

📍 Where do sessions take place?
We come to you! You choose the location(s), and we’ll bring the gear and creative energy. When selecting a location, consider comfort, accessibility, and lighting. We’ll discuss your location(s) when we confirm your session details.
💰 How is pricing determined?
Each session is customized to reflect the size and scope of your event. Our estimates are based on:
Number of guests or participants
Number of locations
Event duration
Any travel, parking, or permit-related costs (e.g., tolls over $10 or venue photography permits)
We also factor in post-production time. For every hour we spend on-site, we typically invest another hour editing and preparing your media.
📦 Do you offer packages?
We build custom quotes for every client to ensure the experience is tailored to your needs and budget. Whether you’re planning a one-hour shoot or a full-day event, we’ll create a plan that keeps things fun, flexible, and stress-free.
