WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY SESSION?

For in-studio portrait sessions, I recommend booking at least 7 days in advance to ensure availability and allow time for planning. If you have a specific date in mind or need a weekend slot, booking earlier is always best!

DO YOU PROVIDE HAIR STYLING & MAKEUP

Hair styling and makeup are included in full boudoir sessions only. But can be added on for an additional fee for other styles of photography sessions.

DO YOU OFFER TOUCHUPS/EDITING?

Yes! All images included in your selected package will receive professional retouching. This includes skin softening, smoothing, sharpening, blemish removal, and—upon request—scars or bruises.

However, I do not alter body shapes (like slimming down or removing cellulite), and tattoos will remain unedited. My goal is to enhance your natural beauty while staying true to who you are!

DO I GET ALL DIGITAL FILES WITH MY SHOOT?

Your session fee covers the time we spend shooting and the professional editing of your images. However, some packages do include a set number of digital files, and additional images can be purchased separately through your private online gallery.

WHEN WILL MY GALLERY BE AVAILABLE?

Your gallery is typically ready within 7 to 14 business days after your session. During peak seasons—like fall, Halloween, or the holidays—it may take a bit longer. I always aim to deliver your images as quickly as possible without compromising on quality!

WILL MY PHOTOS BE ON THE INTERNET?

Only if you give permission! Every client is asked to sign a model release form that lets you decide whether your images can be shared online. I respect your privacy completely—if you prefer to keep your photos private, that's absolutely okay. If you do choose to share, I’d be honored to showcase your session to inspire and empower others considering their own experience!

HOW CAN I VIEW MY PHOTOS WHEN THEY ARE DONE?

You'll receive access to a private online gallery within 14 days of your session. From there, you can view your images, select your favorites, and make additional purchases such as prints or digital files—all from the comfort of your home.

CAN I SHARE MY PHOTOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

Absolutely—I'd love that! All I ask is that you tag me when you post: @mikecianciphotography.
It means so much to see you sharing your experience and helps others discover my work too!

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?

I currently accept Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App for your convenience.

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND/RESCHEDULE PROCESS?

A 50% non-refundable retainer fee and a signed contract are required to secure your booking. Once those are received, you’ll get an email link to choose your session date and time. That time is then reserved exclusively for you, which means I turn away other potential bookings.

If you need to reschedule, you can do so within 30 days of your original shoot date without any penalty.
Rescheduling after 30 days will incur a $50 fee applied to your next booking.

CAN I SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION BEFORE BOOKING MY SESSION?

Absolutely! I offer consultations where we can discuss your vision, session details, wardrobe ideas, and anything else you may need help with before booking. It's a great way to ensure we’re on the same page and that your experience is exactly what you’re hoping for!

DO YOU OFFER GIFT CARDS/CERTIFICATES?

Yes! You may purchase a gift card directly from my booking site by clicking here: Gift Card Purchases
