Here are a few tips:

Steer clear of fluorescents. Florescent colors tend to color cast on faces, necks, and hair and there isn't much I can do to fix it when that happens.

If your session is taking place in a nature/wooded/grassy area during Spring or Summer stay away from wearing a lot of green. It's just too much green. It is a great accent color though! Remember, you want to stand out from all the green that is around you.

Wear what you feel good in! If you aren't comfortable in what you're wearing for your photos, it will show. If you can't find a dress you feel good in, but rock a good pair of skinny jeans, do that! If you don't wear heels often, there's no harm in doing cute and comfy flats, boots, or pretty sandals!

Layers! Layer, layer, layer! Layers add dimension and depth and that is music to a photographers ears! Is it Summer? Layer with a cute belt and pendant necklace. Fall or Winter? Cardigans, belts, a good jean jacket, statement necklaces, vests, scarves, hats, blazers, etc.

Purchase clothes to FIT. And fit well. I totally understand buying a size or two up for kiddos because they just grow so fast but for photos, keep in mind that a shirt that is too large, saggy pants, and/or a jacket thats falling off the shoulders looks sloppy. You'll most likely be purchasing new clothes just for pictures so choose something that fits perfectly or even just a little bit snug. Make it look almost tailored. Go a size smaller in jackets, cardigans, or blazers. A jean jacket that is too big will not compliment shape, it hides hips and waist for moms. If you typically wear a size medium jacket, try on a small. Even if its a little snug in the shoulders, it should lay nicely around the waist and hips.

Matching is OUT. Coordinating is IN. We know your family is together, we're photographing you together! So wearing the same colored shirt, pants, shoes, etc. looks a bit awkward. Coordinating color is what really brings wardrobe together. Choose two or three main colors of wardrobe and maybe one accent pop of color. Also, mixing stripes with plaids and tweeds is OK!

For my editing style I strongly recommend WARM, neutral, or deep toned colors as opposed to fluorescent/neon/bright/busy colored or matching clothing.

Appointments are scheduled upon availability ONLY. There are no certain weekends or weekdays that are guaranteed until you make your final reservation. You'll need to book with me as soon as you can. It is understood that it is solely the clients responsibility to get in contact with the photographer to schedule any general sessions. It is recommended to book your session at least one month in advance. Please be mindful of turn-around times as well to help determine when you should book, especially if you're looking to have your images around a certain date.



For example, if you would like to view your images and have them back around a specific date; messaging me a month in advance from that date to get in the schedule would not work, as your gallery would not be finished by that certain date since my schedule books at least a month out and turn around times are typically 25 business days. You would need to message me at least 2 months in advance to get in the schedule for the following month to have your images completed by the certain date in an estimated 25 business days (30-35 during busy seasons) which begin the day after your session is photographed.

I offer prints and products that I get from an amazing lab out of state. Remember you get what you pay for if you use commercial printers (in other words, print yourself at your own risk). Commercial printers are cheaper but may not have the best quality. Stephanie Fowler Photography is NOT liable for print quality, printer cropping, or coloring of any images.

My turn around times are dependent on the package your choose. Please refer back to the Investment page to answer this question

I would strongly encourage not doing this since it would then no longer reflect my style or work put into your images. The images are property of Stephanie Fowler Photography and may not be altered in any way. Doing so will be violation of copyright.

Definitely! I would also love it if you gave some sort of recognition to Stephanie Fowler Photography! Again, please do not use any sort of filter or alter the image in any way.

Nope. It’s like asking a chef to give up his/her famous recipe.
