FAQ
Getting started
Thank you for considering MKP Photography! Please use the email: poulson.mallory@gmail.com or the "Book or Inquire" tab to request further information on investing and booking a photography session. I typically respond within 48-72 hours. I am a busy mama of three, and do my best to get back to you promptly.
How many pictures will we receive?
Each session has an amount of photos that are included in the price of your package. You can request to purchase additional images over the allotted amount for your specific session per image or in bundles for a discounted price. I would be happy to discuss print and product options utilizing your selected photos as well.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I am based out of Casselton, ND. Mileage charges start over 25 miles round trip away from my work space, which is located in Casselton. Please let me know if you are inquiring about a specific location.
Do you have a studio?
I am currently utilizing a small studio space in Casselton, ND for newborn, children and small family sessions. There are options to rent studio space in the Fargo area as well at an additional cost.
When will we get our photos?
Your may receive a "sneak peak" of some favorite photographs with your permission on an online platform or email (I don't always do sneaks for all sessions during busy seasons) and an online gallery link with your final images typically within a 4-6 week time frame from the session date. During particularly busy times of the year, this time frame may be extended.
The gallery will be posted and you will be able to download your photographs for 30 days.
**You may also purchase prints or products through the online gallery site or I would be happy to discuss product options.
What is the best time of the day to take photographs??
For outdoor sessions, great lighting comes within a few hours of sun rise and sun set! This is where you will get the "golden" look to your images. This is also the hours that I prefer to take images outside for consistency. Cloudy days also work great for day time sessions. Direct sun can be difficult, so location would be key! Somewhere with shade would be ideal to decrease harsh lighting and blown out spaces in the images.
Indoor sessions are typically done during normal business hours.
What to wear?
Neutral tones are always beautiful. Coordinating, but not matching color schemes also look beautiful. Patterns can be fun but distracting, so I suggest limiting patterns if possible. Match your color palette to the time of the year! Earth tones in the fall, pastel tones for spring, etc. for example. If this is something you struggle with, please reach out and we can discuss!
