General FAQ
At Saga Media, we offer two complimentary consultation sessions to ensure your photography experience is tailored to your needs:
1. Concept Consultation (15 minutes):
• Share your desires, vision, and expectations with your photographer
• Receive initial feedback and ideas from your photographer
• Lay the groundwork for creating a vision board
1. Pre-Shoot Consultation:
• Occurs after deposit submission and contract signing
• Review and approve the vision board created based on your input
• Discuss wardrobe concepts and location options
• Address any questions or concerns about your upcoming photo shoot
These consultations are designed to refine your vision, ensure clear communication, and prepare for a successful photo session. We encourage you to bring all your questions to the pre-shoot consultation, as it is the final meeting before your actual photo shoot.

Saga Media offers one complimentary rescheduling opportunity when requested at least 24 hours before your scheduled session. For example, if your session is scheduled for Saturday at 2:00 PM, you must notify your photographer by Friday at 2:00 PM via email or phone. If rescheduling occurs with less than 24 hours' notice, a $100 fee will be deducted from your deposit. All rescheduled sessions must take place within 30 days of the original appointment date.

This timeline ensures adequate preparation for your session, including detailed discussion of your photo shoot plans and wardrobe options. If you have not completed your consultation, your photo shoot will need to be rescheduled, potentially incurring a fee if the rescheduling occurs less than 24 hours before your scheduled session.

After-Hours Emergency Meeting with Photographer (https://sagamediaphotography.clientportal.photo/book/679be776dec380.92802654)
At Saga Media Photography, we structure our image packages based on editing time rather than a fixed number of images. Here's how our process works:
During a 60-minute session, we typically capture between 50-75 high-resolution images, varying based on the number of outfit changes and backdrop selections. Rather than charging per image, we price based on editing time, which ensures each photo receives the detailed attention needed to meet our professional standards.
Our editing process is thorough and precise:
• Approximately 10 minutes of detailed editing per image
• 6 images can be fully edited within one hour
• One hour of editing time is priced at $170
For example, if you're interested in purchasing 6 images, you would invest in one hour of editing time. This allows us to provide you with beautifully finished portraits that truly reflect our artistic standards. As part of our commitment to quality, we do not release unedited or raw images, as these don't represent the full potential of your portraits or our artistic vision.
