MORE ABOUT THIS LOCATION:
The most magical images always come from this Tree Farm! A variety of blankets, chairs, crates, & a rustic teepee will be available for use. Although these are technically Christmas trees that we will be surrounded by, these sessions don't necessarily need to have a Holiday "feel" to them. It is possible to keep them more neutral, especially depending on your wardrobe choices! The Friday 11/29 sessions will be at sunset, and the Sat 11/30 sessions will be in the morning.
----------------------------
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
All Special Event Sessions 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 = $550
------
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?
**Note: If images are needed right away for the purpose of making holiday cards, please let Amber know and she will put a rush on delivering your proofing gallery & final edits. You can expect to receive your proofing gallery by the end of the day on Sunday 12/1, if you requested a rush. If no rush is required, then the following typical estimates will apply.....
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 48 hours so that you have 2 full days 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:
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.
