Q: Can we book a Fairy Portrait session outside of the promotion?

A: Absolutely! Fairy Portraits can be booked any time of year as a private session for $299, based on availability and booked at least two weeks in advance. While our promotional events group several sessions together, off-season sessions are custom-scheduled just for your child. This means we set up the entire enchanted forest scene exclusively for one client, which is why the regular session fee is a bit higher -- but the magic is every bit as real!

A: To keep our vision and our art consistent, we insist on providing the costumes and wings (which are custom made).

 

Q: How long is the session?

A: Timeslots are booked every 30 minutes, but the session will take about 20 minutes. This gives you time to get your little one dressed and for some final primping (although we do recommend having hairstyles ready before you arrive). Preparation tips for the photoshoot will be emailed to you.

Q: When/How will I see the proofs?

Please bring all decision makers (grandparents are welcome to come too!) to the appointment. Viewings last around one hour and will be available Mondays & Fridays (daytime & evening) as well as Saturday afternoons.
