Frequency Asked Questions

When will my images be ready?

Please allow up to 2 weeks after your session for your proofing gallery to arrive. These images will be color adjusted but may not be print ready. These initial galleries are for you to pick your favorites and decide what you would like to be edited so editing time is used wisely.

What if I love everything in my proofing gallery as is?

That is wonderful! We are so happy you love everything. You are welcome to upgrade your session to include all these proof quality images as is for an additional $200. After we receive payment for your digitals, you will receive an email that your images have been unlocked and are now ready for download.

What if I want more digitals retouched/edited than are included in my session?

You can add additional images to your favorites above the number that is included in your session for $25/each. These images will be edited and made "print ready". This fee includes basic edits only.

What if I want a fine art edit?

Fine art edits are done by request only and are charged at $1/minute. Some images take very little time around 10 minutes and others can take 2 hours or more to achieve realistic results. You must purchase the digital for $25 first and then fine art edits are charged on top of that. If you have any specific ideas for your edit please let me know ahead of the session so we can shoot with this in mind. (ie. Love dinosaurs, outer space, castles, etc)

What should I wear/bring?

Each session and client is unique and requires different clothing suggestions based on what we are doing. Please send an email to ethanaveryphotography@yahoo.com with your photoshoot ideas, the ages of people to be photographed, and any areas about yourself you love and hate and we can come up with a great plan for your session. I own a few maternity gowns for expecting moms to borrow, as well as have a lot of props for newborns to wear. The only thing I recommend is avoiding clothes with words - however cute they seem - big bro little bro shirts are very hard to photograph with newborns as babies tend to keep arms tucked in and cover the words.

When can I expect my favorites to be edited?

Please make sure you "share favorites with photographer" so I can see the images you put in your favorites folder. Unless you do this, I will assume you are still deciding which are your ultimate favorites. If you have selected more than are included in your session, I will add your images to my editing cue once payment has been received. Once in the cue - it may take up to two weeks to be edited. Why? Because I do a lot of photo sessions and also work full time and have 4 kids, it may take a bit of time to get back to edits. I never want to rush them either. They probably WONT take this long, but if its a crazy work week I will definitely need a good weekend to get through all the edits.

How do I book a session

You can email ethanaveryphotography@yahoo.com or call 832-338-0679 to book a session with Andrea from Ethan Avery Photography

Where do your sessions take place?

Outdoor sessions take place in Katy Texas and indoor studio sessions (up to 1 yr) take place in my home based studio in Richmond TX, or you can upgrade to lifestyle sessions in the comfort of your own home.

Do I offer same day photo sessions?

My photo session schedule fills fast but it never hurts to call and see if there is availability next day for a session - Call 832-338-0679

Do I have to love all my images?

Of course not - I take a lot of images with the goal of each client loving a handful - I take more images to make face swaps possible and to account for blinks, silly faces and possible camera shake. I leave a lot of images in galleries because I want you to have the option of picking the ones you truly love, not just the perfect smiling at the camera ones. If the session just did not go well due to missed nap time or some other reason, photographer will have already said something as the shoot ended. If you just want an outfit change - you must book another session.
