Fall Minis 2025: Booking Fee
**Please read ALL details below before booking!!
—————————-
NATURE OF TODAY'S PURCHASE:
By making this purchase today you are placing the initial $150 Booking Fee/Retainer to secure your chosen day/time for a 2025 "Fall Mini Session" with Amber Webb Photography. See below for the two dates and locations offered.
**IMPORTANT NOTE: Today's payment is for the Booking Fee/Retainer only. Images will be purchased separately after your session (more on this below).
----------------------------
HOW TO BOOK:
To book a session you will click on the dropdown menu above that says "Select Variant". The dropdown menu will pop up and you will click on your desired date/time/location. Then hit the button below the dropdown menu that says: "Add To Cart".
You'll then proceed to Checkout. *Note: During Checkout it only gives the option to pay through PayPal. HOWEVER, if you don't like to use PayPal or don't have an account with them, that's okay, you don't have to! Here is what you'll do instead: You'll still click on the "Pay via PayPal" button, however once it prompts you to login to PayPal there is a second option underneath that says: or "Pay with a Debit/Credit Card". If you click on that button you will not have to login to use PayPal, instead you will be able to simply enter your card information as a guest, and complete your payment that way!
Once you have finished the Checkout process and your payment has gone through, your chosen day/time will automatically be removed from the list and unavailable for another client to book.
**Please continue on to read ALL of the important details below, before booking!

TWO DATES & LOCATIONS TO CHOOSE FROM:
1. Sunday, October 26th:
PIONEER PARK, TUMWATER (PP)
(See Images #1-2)
The beautiful fields & trees at this location have made it one of my top favorite spots to use in the area. The last few years this location has given us some beautiful color, and we are hoping for the same this year! As always, I cannot make any guarantees with how the leaves will look at any location, but this park is gorgeous no matter the status of the trees! The photographer will bring a couple fall blanket options, and if you will be bringing any small children please let Amber know and a child's chair and crate will be provided.
---
2. Mon, October 27th:
SECRET SPOT, OLYMPIA (SS)
(See Image #3)
For many years this has been one of my favorite spots to use in the area because there is never another photographer present! Usually toward the end of October we get some decent color on a couple of the trees at this location. But as always, I cannot make any guarantees with leaves! It is still a beautiful location no matter what! The photographer will bring a couple fall blanket options, and if you will be bringing any small children please let Amber know and a child's chair and crate will be provided.
----------------------------
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
All Fall Minis are 20-minutes in length and they are booked back-to-back. Multiple families will be seen on these particular days, so it is important that you are on time to your session as the photographer must remain on schedule to accommodate everyone! Exact details on where to park and meet the photographer will be provided for each location as the session draws near.
------
WEATHER CONCERNS:
Sessions continue as planned and are only rescheduled when there is a 40% or higher chance of rain during our scheduled time. We attempt to make this decision as close to the actual session as possible, as the forecast is constantly changing on us, and we want the most up-to-date predictions before we decide to cancel! Rescheduling multiple families is very difficult to do, so we try to keep these sessions scheduled as-is, unless we will certainly experience a rain-out. In such a case every effort is made to find a reasonable time to reschedule everyone.
----------------------------
TOTAL INVESTMENT:
Special Event Sessions are divided into TWO payments:
1. The first payment is the $150 retainer/booking fee that is paid today to secure your chosen time slot.
2. The second payment will be made AFTER your session, once you have viewed the proofs from your session and chosen your favorites that you'd like to purchase. YOU are in control of which images you purchase, and how many! This way you are only purchasing the images you love the most!
Below are the Digital Collections that will be available to purchase after your session:
5 DIGITAL COLLECTIONS AVAILABLE:
Petite: 5 digitals = $165
Enhanced: 10 digitals = $285
Deluxe: 15 digitals = $375
Legacy: 20 digitals = $440
Platinum: 30 digitals = $530
------
SINGLE-IMAGE ADD-ONS:
1 hi-res digital = $30
2 hi-res digitals = $50
3 hi-res digitals = $75
----------------------------
BOOKING MULTIPLE TIME SLOTS:
If you add 2 or more time slots into your shopping cart (so that you are booking 2 sessions back to back for a longer overall session), please understand that when booking 2 sessions back to back there is a requirement to purchase 2 separate image packages from each of those sessions. (This means you would need to purchase at the very minimum two of the 5-image packages.)
----
OPTIONAL: INTEREST-FREE PAYMENT PLAN:
You may inquire about splitting the total cost of your chosen Collection into 2 interest-free payments. The second payment will be made 2 weeks after the first. Please note that your final fully-retouched images will not be delivered until the second and final payment has been made.
———————————
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE MY IMAGES?
PROOFING GALLERIES:
You'll receive a link to your temporary proofing gallery within 1 week of your session date. Your proofing gallery will be active for 3 days so you have time to narrow down your favorite images that you'd like to purchase.
FINAL PURCHASED IMAGES:
Once you have chosen your favorite images from your proofing gallery and purchased them, the final retouching process will begin on your purchased images. You can expect to receive your final fully-retouched photos within 24-48 hours after your purchase was made. (One extra day may be needed for full-gallery purchases.)
----------------------------
DISCLAIMER:
With all Mini Sessions/Special Events, because this Booking Fee/Retainer secures a spot on the photographer's schedule, thereby making it unavailable to book by another client, it is NON-refundable upon client cancellation or no-show.
----------------------------
QUESTIONS?
If you have any questions about these Special Event Sessions, or if you have questions about booking your own individual session (to take place on your own chosen day/time/location), please contact the photographer via email: [email protected].
----------------------------
*A Note On Special Event Pricing:
For those wondering why Special Event Pricing differs so greatly from booking an individual session with Amber Webb Photography... The reason for this is due to volume. On Special Event dates multiple families are seen back-to-back on the same day, at a location pre-chosen by the photographer. Because of the quantity of families being seen, Amber is able to offer these Special Event Sessions at a lower price than if you were to book an individual session. With individual sessions the client is able to book their session on a specific date and at a specific location of their own choosing, and subsequently they are the only client Amber is working with that day. There is more of an investment involved with that type of exclusivity. Furthermore, individual sessions last longer than Special Event sessions, and there is no abrupt session cutoff due to another client being booked immediately afterward.
